Hate when your basement floods? Try a water-powered sump pump

You may have a sump pump or just clean your basement the good old fashion way with buckets and a mop. Who really has time to mop up all that water?

What happens if your basement is flooded and you have lost electricity?

One solution can be to use a water powered sump pump. It’s an easy affordable way to effectively remove water from your basement.

“This unique product is powered by your municipal water supply and requires no electricity to operate. The water powered sump pump uses 1 gallon of city water to pump 2 gallons out of the pit, and then all three are discharged from the house. Using the ratio of 1 to 2, at 1,020 GPH the system will use 510 gallons of water to remove the1, 020 gallons from your basement. If your water costs 2 cents a gallon, (510 x .02=$10.20) it would cost approximately $10 an hour in water use to keep your basement dry.” Doug Lynch, The Alternative Press
