Next dig a hole large enough to fit the basin making sure it is flush with the floor. Wrap the basin with filter fabric. Set the basin in the hole with a few inches of gravel inside. Put stone paver on the gravel. Put the pump on the paver. Connect valve and PVC pipe to pump, and then run the pipe up the closest wall. You may need to drill a hole to run the pipe outside.
