moldy basement? ozone generator or ionizer will work. We also used potassium pelets but I don't know what the effect might be on the pump. You can also hang charcoal in nylon stockings around the basement to absorb the smell.

First off, you need to treat any areas with bleach to kill the mold. (make sure the area is properly ventilated.) Then you need to go to your hardware store and buy a masonry sealer. This "paint" will seal the masonry and prevent moisture from seeping in. Once this has been accomplished, install a dehumidifier/air purifier.

we used a dehumidifier-worked very very good. Just have to remember to dump the container of water out, or we ran a hose to the drain.
