Question 1

How does a sump pump work?

Accepted Answer

A float switch inside the sump pit activates a sump pump. When water rises to a certain level, the float switch triggers the pump to start, pumping the water away from your home through a discharge pipe. The pump will continue to operate until the water level is below the float switch, automatically turning off when the job is done.

Some popular brands known for high-quality sump pumps include PLUMBFLEX, ECO FLO, and Liberty Pumps.

Question 4

How does the sump pump's housing material affect its performance?

Accepted Answer

The housing material affects the pump's durability and resistance to corrosion. Choosing a material like stainless steel or cast iron will ensure the pump can withstand harsh environments and last longer. Thermoplastic or aluminum are good choices for lighter-duty applications.

Question 5

Why should I care about the discharge flow of my sump pump?

Accepted Answer

If you live in an area prone to heavy rainfall or flooding, you'll want a sump pump with a high discharge flow. This ensures it can keep up with the water inflow and prevent your basement from flooding.
