Best Sump Pump Installation: Basins and Discharge Systems

We’ve now posted two series of videos on the primary and backup sump pump systems respectively as important parts of educating homeowners and consumers about basement waterproofing. U.S. Waterproofing’s Barry Schilling, sump pump expert, has so far covered:

The difference between the pedestal style of pump and the more common submersible style

Pump capacity and how consumers should always read the small print

Why one type of sump pump switch is more reliable than others

How cast iron sump pumps have the advantage over those made of other materials

The importance of the filtration system to a sump pump’s performance

Why the Zoeller 98 is the recommended choice of primary sump pumps for most homeowners

Why the StormPro SHW 50 will keep basements dry even during the heaviest rains

Why the Boss 2100 is the perfect battery backup pump to complement any primary sump pump to ensure a dry basement during power outages

Why the Boss 3000 is the best choice to provide dual-power backup, stepping in not only during power outages but also in the event of failure of the primary pump.

Why the Boss 3000 Deluxe is the ultimate sump pump, combining primary and backup pumps in a dual-power system that is designed to outlast the competition

In this final segment on the physical components of a sump pump system, Barry talks about the importance of installing the right size sump pit for specific pumps and seepage conditions. By matching the size of the sump pit and the discharge pipe to the output of the pump, homeowners are assured of having the most effective system to combat basement water seepage and maximizing the life of the pump.
