Open the cover and remove both the float switch and pump. Clean these properly with soap or degreaser paying special attention to the impeller that will be entangled with hair that obviously needs to be removed. Pour some simple green or degreaser into the sump box and brush it clean, now reassemble. run water from hose or turn on a tap that drains into the sump and let it run for a good 15 minutes to clean everything out. By doing this every year you will never have a sump problem or odour issue from the sump. They do need some TLC every so often.
Thank you, sounds like good advice.
