Sump Pumps
Also known as dewatering pumps or basement pumps, sump pumps come in handy when there is water on a low-lying surface. Sump pumps are designed to empty accumulated water from a basement, well, or sump and pumps it outside. Used for drainage purposes, sump pumps pump the flows up onto outside ground surface and keep areas from flooding. A sump pit, commonly found in the home basement, is simply a hole dug in the ground to collect water. The water may enter via perimeter drains funneling into the pit, or may arrive from natural ground water in the earth.
Variations of sump pump models include pedestal (upright) and submersible. When installing a sump pump, a sump tank, drain system and discharge pipe will also be needed to host the pump.
Besides residential purposes, sump pumps are readily used in industries such as automotive, aircraft, auxiliary, OEM, processing, recycling, wastewater and slurry treatment and transfer, waste processing, plumbing, and more.
