RIDGID - Sump Pumps - The Home Depot

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.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

How does the horsepower of a sump pump impact its performance?

Accepted Answer

A higher horsepower pump can handle more water and has a higher discharge flow rate. This is important if you live in an area prone to heavy rainfall or have a large basement to protect. However, a higher horsepower pump will also consume more energy.
