Check equipment space before you buy

Compare measured usable space with the exact equipment dimensions, including the space you need to service it.

Usable space 1: enter a value greater than zero.

How it works

Length and width must fit the usable footprint. Equipment height plus your entered service clearance must fit the available height. A permitted 90° footprint rotation can swap length and width, but never turns an upright product on its side.

A dimensional pass is one check

This tool checks physical dimensions only. Manually verify the sump water-depth requirement, pump and voltage, plumbing bore and thread, overflow/drain capacity, heat and ventilation, cable access and manufacturer-approved installation. These checks need exact product documentation.

Before ordering

Measure the door opening as well as the final space; account for hinges, baffles and existing plumbing. Confirm how a skimmer cup, pump or filter is removed. Record remaining checks below rather than treating a dimensional pass as a compatibility guarantee.
