Find the right sump pump capacity for your basement based on pit size, water inflow rate, and discharge height.
Basement and Pit Details
Inflow rate is how fast water enters the pit. A typical residential basement averages 1,000-3,000 gallons per hour during heavy rain.
Discharge Details
Total head pressure is the vertical lift plus friction losses in the discharge pipe.
High risk means frequent flooding, heavy clay soil, or a high water table. Size up for high-risk installations.
