No homeowners want to deal with flooding. It can cause structural problems and mold growth that can be costly to fix and remove. To avoid these issues, many people install a submersible pump to keep their home dry. Here are four benefits to gain from using these innovative devices.

4 Reasons to Buy a Submersible Pump 

1. Avoid Priming

Basements that feature above-ground pumps require regular priming to ensure water flows properly without being interrupted by air bubbles. This process is complex and is best done by a professional. However, a submersible pump avoids the need for this type of maintenance; the device uses suction and is already under the water, which limits its air intake.

2. Save Energy  

Traditional pumps can use a lot of electricity and quickly increase energy bills. However, submersible pumps use kinetic energy by spinning water into the pump with an impeller; this process requires much less electricity while still offering ample power.

3. Last Longer 

Submersible pumps often last around 25 years before requiring replacement. Traditional well pumps have a higher likelihood of needing repairs or potentially failing because they are not submerged in water. Plus, they only last eight to ten years with regular use.

4. Take Up Less Space

Older homes may feature above-ground well pumps that require several feet of space in the middle of the floor. This can make it difficult to utilize your basement’s full storage or living space capacity as you’ll likely want to hide the pump. Submersible pumps are much less intrusive because they’re below the floor. They only require a small covering over the pipe to ensure nothing goes into the pump chamber.
