The Most important Reason to Segregate a Sump Pump.

Some houses have it, others don’t. That cascade of water as the sump pump gushes, sending the water away from your home. We’ve been in a lot of houses that didn’t need the pump, while others turn on every thirty seconds. In fact, we’ve seen some homeowners who have exchanged the sump pump which moves water at 30 gallons per minute for a sewage pump that moves water at 130 gallons per minute.
What’s important however for those homes that need those pumps to keep flowing is to have an outlet that’s protected. Initially people think it should be protected like an outlet in your kitchen or bathroom, however this can be problematic if you flip the switch during a rain storm.
The protection you need for your outlet is simple. A sump or sewage pump should be on a dedicated breaker so nothing else can cause it to flip the breaker.
