Make Sure You Have A Sump Pump When You Need One!

A sump pump is a piece of equipment that is necessary when you live in a space, home or corporate, that runs the risk of flooding, such as in a home with a basement. Sump pumps are used in New Zealand (NZ) to remove water that has flooded into a sump basin. A sump basin is a pit of any size, naturally constructed but not only naturally constructed, where water collects.

Most basements in NZ have sump pits underneath them. A sump pit can be used for water collection or water drainage. When there is too much water, a sump pump needs to be used to get rid of the excess water. Sump pump makers in NZ, therefore, supply homeowners, plumbers, small and large, industrial companies and mines too.

Variety of sump pumps

There are different sump pumps on the market, including submersible sump pumps (probably the most popular for homeowners), pedestal sump pumps, battery operated sump pumps and water-powered backup pumps.

A submersible pump is the most compact as the pump and motor are in one. They are good options for homeowners as they sit submerged inside the sump basin, quietly doing their work. If you have a home with a basement, and a sump pit, chances are you have a submersible sump pump to drain any excess water.

The pedestal sump pumps have a separate motor and pump, both sitting above the sump basin, with a hose running to the drainage area. They can take up a bit of space and be a bit noisy in use, but they last longer and do a good job. Battery-operated pumps are good for when the power is out, perhaps in a disaster.

Water supply manufacturers in NZ would supply a sump pump and advise the best kind for you. There are water-powered sump pumps too.
