His comment was that while he never noticed a difference between using a stum box and not, if you don't use one and you suck debris into the pump, you'll notice a BIG difference. The strum box functions as much as a strainer as it does to increase the pump's pickup ability at low water levels. If flow rate is an issue, put more slots in the strum box or make a bigger one.
