How a Sump Pump Works
If you are installing a sump pump for the first time, you may be wondering how these systems work. Sump pumps are installed at your home’s lowest point, typically the basement or crawl space. Typically the pump sits inside a small hole called a sump pit. When the pit starts to fill with water, the pump’s mechanisms are triggered to turn on, and they pump the liquid away from the pipe through pipes outside your home.
Some important parts of the sump pump include:
- Check valve – This valve on the pump end keeps the water from flowing down back into the pit.
- Float activator arm – This arm floats up when the pump starts to fill with water, and it triggers the pump to turn on.
- Pressure sensor – Some systems have a pressure sensor instead of a float activator. When it senses water pressure, it triggers the pump to turn on.
- Discharge pipe – This pipe sends the water away from your home.
