Filter sock fully submerged. Looking on how to fix it.

As you can see there is that much empty space.
Would you still be concerned?

 

Any other ideas or input I am going to drill a hole tommorow.

 

Try this
CPR Sock-It 4 Inch Adjustable Filter Sock Holder

 

Like was said earlier, If you raise the sock above the rim, you must make sure that if it clogs, it will overflow back into the sump!!! The bracket that I gave you the link to should hold the sock far away enough from the edge, that it should work.

 

That looks like plenty of empty space. I think i had a vision of the sump being filled close to the rim for some reason. The pic obviously cleared that up! That adjustable holder looks like it should do the trick.
