SUMP PUMPS
Sump pumps are designed to be placed into a sump basin,
typically in the basement of your home, to remove unwanted
groundwater before it reaches a potential ood level.
Sump pumps operate with a switch – vertical or tethered
switches rise along with the water level, and turn the pump on
when it reaches a certain point. An electronic switch turns the
pump on when it senses the water level has reached a certain
height, when all probes have been submerged by water.
Sump Pumps are available in a variety of constructions from
corrosion resistant thermoplastic, heavy-duty stainless steel,
and durable cast iron.
When choosing a sump pump, consider the volume and
horsepower you need. More active sump pits require a higher
pumping capacity than a less active pit. A higher horsepower
pump moves more volume faster. If replacing a sump pump you
should choose a model equal to or greater than the horsepower of
your current model.
Check valve replacement is recommended whenever a sump
pump is replaced.
