Most homeowners would like to use their residential properties for useful purposes. Even though this is an added benefit, it can often be the cause of a flood hazard. Even the well designed and constructed buildings face the problem of a flooded basement. The perfect solution to rectify this issue is to install a submersible sump pump.
They come with a special sensor which detects the water level within the sump pit. If it exceeds a specific level, it activates the motor. The device helps to force the water out of the space using an impeller. A hose or pipe is often used to direct the water to a safer distance from the basement. Even though there are pedestal ones available, the submersible ones are highly in demand. There are many reasons why they are always considered superior to others.
Benefits that you can consider
1. Parts are out of sight
The primary difference between the pedestal and the submersible water pumps is about placing the mechanical parts. In the former, the seals, valves, and bearings are usually placed outside of the sump pit, but in the latter, the most of its components are easily submerged within the pit. In most instances, it is completely installed out of sight. This will give the visual appeal of the basement. This is beneficial if space is freely used to entertain the guests or used as a warehouse.
2. Safe
When compared to its counterparts, it is a much safer option. This is suitable for the homes where there are children. These can keep the little ones away from the potentially dangerous components submerged in the pit. The homeowners often cover the pump with the sturdy board to avoid the risk of it being tampered. The children might play with the valves and other mechanisms. They might even accidentally hurt themselves.
3. Minimal noise level
Most users are not just fond of the less obstruction caused by this but also the quieter operation. As it is strategically placed within the sump pit, its walls absorb the sounds of the motor. It is impossible for this to occur in the pedestal pump as the motor is outside of the pit. This can disturb the occupants of the property as well as the neighbors.
i) Efficient
The efficiency of the submersible water pumps is unquestionable. The cantilever pump will get activated only when the water in the pit reaches a critical level. This means that there will already be a considerable amount of water which might spill soon. However, the submersible pump can detect the water much before it gets accumulated completely. It is the parts that enable this facility. The water is usually pumped out much sooner thereby avoiding any disasters.
ii) Less maintenance
These are always made with perfection as it is conveniently placed submerged in liquid continuously. The corrosion resistant materials can last for years. This reduces the maintenance tasks associated with it.
The building will stay dry even during the heavy rains. This will give the improvement in the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the property.
