WHAT IS A SUMP PUMP AND HOW IS IT USED

If you are wondering what is a sump pump and how it is used, here is the answer:

A sump pump, combined with a sump pit, is used to evacuate water that collects and seeps into a basement. The sump pump (2) and sump pump switch (3) are installed inside the sump pit (4). Water below the basement floor collects in the sump pit and is pumped outside with a sump pump. It is important to consider reliability when designing your sump pump system. Use a dependable high output, submersible sump pump with an Ion digital sump pump switch. A mechanical sump pump switch tends to fail and are not as reliable as a Ion digital sump pump switch.
