Water-Powered Sump Pump Advantages
If you’ve decided that a water-powered sump pump is the way to go, there are several advantages of these pumps. For starters, they can run endlessly, as they’re powered by the water that comes into your home. And if your main sump pump fails, your water-powered pump will continue to run until you can get to it. Water-powered pumps also have a few other advantages, as well. Find out
Choose The Right One For Your Needs
A water-powered sump pump has the advantage of high pumping rates and can easily displace up to 1,185 gallons per hour. It also has a 3:1 efficiency ratio. However, it can’t be installed in your existing pit lid, which limits its use. And you’ll need a pit diameter of at least 18 inches for this model to function properly. It’s a good idea to know how much water you need to be removed with a water-powered pump, and then choose the one that’s the best fit for your needs.
Water-powered pumps also save you money. Batteries are expensive and should be replaced every three years. A water-powered backup pump does not use batteries and does not require batteries or other components. This means you’ll save a lot of money in the long run. For example, a battery backup sump pump can cost upwards of $200, including acid. In comparison, a water-powered backup system will cost less than half as much as a battery-powered model.
