Sump Pumps Buying Guide?
Sump pump installation is expensive. On the other hand, sump pump equipment is relatively not. Therefore, in these tough economic times, many people perform their own sump pump installation. However, there is a diverse array of sump pumps available and prices range from $50 to $500. For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to choose the right one. The first step to choosing the right pump is to determine whether you need a pedestal or submersible pump. Submersibles are more expensive, but it’s out of sight and earshot, which is an important consideration if you use the basement as a primary living area. However, due to being submerged the lifespan of a sump pump is only 5 to 15 years. On the other hand, a pedestal will last for 25 to 30 years. Therefore, in addition to being the cheaper investment, it is the better long-term value. Choose a pedestal if the basement is not used as a primary living area. The next choice to make is the switch. These are available as floats, diaphragms and mercury switches. However, that type of switch doesn’t matter much. What does matter is manual versus automatic. Manual switches are much cheaper. However, they don’t do you much good if you’re not at home when the basement begins to flood. In addition, most pumps will burn out if they run dry too long. It will depend on your personal needs, but the automatic switches are generally worth the additional money. The greatest determining factor of price is the unit’s strength. Sump pump units are rated in horsepower, generally ranging from 1/6 to 1/2 HP. However, more important than HP, is the gallons per minute (GPM) or gallons per hour (GPH) rating. This capacity is combination of the pump’s efficiency and its head, also called lift. In terms of sump pumps, head is the vertical distance from the bottom of the sump to the highest point of discharge. Therefore, a 2300 GPH sump pump might only have a 1-foot head while a 2100 GPH model has a 5-foot head. The client will also want to consider if they require a sump pump that is strong enough to pass small solids. Finally, many of the cheapest sump pumps are made with corrosive materials. While these may serve you in a pinch, they will break down faster over time.
