Frequently asked questions
- Why choose a water driven sump pump?
- It runs on municipal water pressure instead of electricity, so it keeps pumping during a power outage when an electric pump stops.
- Does a water driven pump need a backflow device?
- Yes. The backflow assembly is what keeps the sump water from reaching the drinking supply, which is why the device has to stay in place and be tested annually.
- Do you test the hookup after installation?
- Yes. We test the pump and certify the backflow device before we leave.
