A water powered sump pump is a type of sump pump that uses water pressure to power the pump. It does not require electricity to operate, and it is designed to be used as an alternative to an electric sump pump in case of a power outage.
A water powered sump pump consists of a pump, a water supply line, and a discharge pipe. The water supply line is connected to the main water supply for the home, and the discharge pipe is used to pump the water out of the sump pit. When the water level in the sump pit rises, the pump is activated and uses the pressure of the water in the supply line to pump the water out of the sump pit and away from the home.
Water powered sump pumps are an attractive option for homeowners who live in areas prone to power outages, as they can provide an alternative power source for the sump pump. However, they do require a reliable water supply and a properly sized water supply line to function effectively. They are also generally more expensive than electric sump pumps.
