Question from Leah

Although we have a lid on our sump pump, there is an odor coming from it, especially when it is dry outside and the water sits for a period of time. It comes in through the heat vents in our crawl space and our entire house smells. We were told to put chlorine tablets in it to help the smell. I am looking for something more natural that might work. Does anyone have experience with this or have any ideas? The water travels into a ditch in front of our house. Not only do I not want to be breathing chlorine in our house, I also don’t want to pollute our yard. Thank you!
