How to Choose the Right Sump Pump for Your St Paul Home
Types of Sump Pumps
Before selecting a sump pump, it's essential to understand the different types available. The two most common types of sump pumps are pedestal and submersible.
Pedestal Sump Pumps
These pumps have a motor mounted on a pedestal above the sump pit and a hose or pipe running down to the bottom of the pit to pump out the water. Pedestal pumps are generally less expensive than submersible pumps but can be louder and less efficient.
Submersible Sump Pumps
These pumps are entirely underwater in the sump pit, making them quieter and more efficient than pedestal pumps. Submersible pumps are also more expensive but are often the best choice for larger homes or homes with a high risk of flooding.
Choosing the Right Size
The size of your sump pump is determined by the amount of water that needs to be pumped out of your sump pit in a given time period, measured in gallons per hour (GPH). To determine the right size for your home, you'll need to consider factors such as the size of your basement, the amount of rainfall in your area, and the depth of your sump pit.
Gopher Plumbing Supply's experts can help you calculate the right size for your home and recommend the best type of pump based on your needs.
Other Considerations
When selecting a sump pump, it's important to choose a model with a reliable float switch to ensure that it turns on and off automatically as needed. You should also look for models with backup battery systems to ensure that your pump will continue to function in the event of a power outage.
