A sump pump is only as good as its sizing and backup plan. Here is the Cupertino buying guide.
The horsepower
Most homes need a one-third or one-half horsepower pump, sized to the pit and the water volume.
The type
Pedestal pumps keep the motor above water; submersible pumps sit in the pit and are quieter.
The backup
A battery backup is the most important add-on — the pump fails exactly when the power goes out.
The quality
A cast-iron or stainless body lasts longer than plastic. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines In Cupertino, storms make quality matter.
