Installing outdoor sump pump

Tags: Basement & Foundation
Hello. Due to high water table, the basement of my 2 year old house floods. The builder left a deep pit behind the house with two pipes coming into the pit. (french drain?) How can I install a sump pump in this pit to stop the water before it reaches the basement floor level. The pit seems to be about 7" deep. How can I do this?
