Easy Clean-up From April Showers

If the rain is causing unexpected flooding and you need a sump pump for a one time clean-up, Zoeller Floor Sucker pumps can come to the rescue. They are easy to use and have a threaded connection for a standard garden hose. They also have an automatic shut-off so the pump will turn off when the water is cleared rather than burning out. Simply plug in your pump and submerge it in the flooded area to remove water from an area down to 1/8 inch.

These Floor Sucker utility pumps are great for a one-time clean-up in your home. Larger sump pumps and effluent pumps are available for preventative installation if you live in an area at high risk for floods. These pumps are designed for installation underground, such as a pit dug in your basement. They work with a float device that tells the pump to activate if water reaches a certain level.

Visit SupplyHouse.com for a large selection of sump pumps, effluent pumps, sewage pumps and utility pumps, and remember the utility pumps are your best bet if you get hit with an unexpected flood and don't want to invest to much in a pump for one-time use.
