There are three main categories of plumbing pumps available at www.supplyhouse.com. Sump pumps remove only water and should be installed underground, such as in a hole dug out in your basement. The pump will automatically turn if the float device senses the water has reached a certain level. An effluent pump has a similar construction but can handle small amounts of debris mixed into the water, such as leaves. Both types of pumps can be connected to a garden hose or PVC pipe, which is used to transport the water out to a disposal area.
Little Giant and Zoeller are our most popular brands for these pumps and can be found in the plumbing category.
