Sump Pump
The Floor Sucker: Saying NO to H2O
Every home owner has a fear of coming home to a basement full of water. A leak as a result of heavy rain storms or an accidental pipe burst has the potential to cause severe damage to your basement or cellar area. Even a few inches of water can destroy your precious belongings and/or instantly wipe out your treasured memorabilia. If your home does not have a sump pump to protect your basement from water, it is crucial that you find another way of keeping water out. A floor sucker is a versatile utility sump pump that can handle the task.
The Effectiveness of a Floor Sucker
The floor sucker
was created for homeowners who do not already
have a sump pump in their home. The unit is
highly versatile and can be used to protect
your basement, cellar, roof and even crawl space
against water damage. The floor sucker runs
with the assistance of an oil-filled motor and
is housed in an epoxy cast aluminum shell. It
can be used fully or partially submerged, indoors
and outdoors, and can drain down to 1/8 of an
inch. Depending on your needs, there are different
models available including the 1200 GPH pump
which features a 1 inch discharge with garden
hose adapter, a 26.3 inch shut-off head capability,
and a screened inlet. In addition, each model
has varying flow rates and can be manually or
automatically operated. Other than for home
purposes, a floor sucker can be used for commercial
and industrial needs including pet applications,
statuary fountains, pool covers, equine and
livestock therapy, air conditioners and machine
tool coolants. In any situation requiring the
transfer or recirculation of liquid, the floor
sucker is well-suited. So whatever your specific
need, there is a pump that can safely and effectively
handle the task.
Detect a Leak with a Water Alarm
You can never take too many precautions when it comes to protecting your home from water. A water alarm is a tool used to detect leaks that can cause irreparable damage. It detects water on a surface with its two metal contacts. The device runs off a standard 9v battery and can be placed in any location where there is a risk of water seepage.
