We install sump pump back-up battery systems, A sump pump battery stays charged until needed, and you may never actually need it. A sump pump alarm which alerts you high water level is a valuable and affordable addition that can alert you to a problem that you may be able to solve easily in time to possibly prevent a basement flood. We will diagnose the problem and give you fast and reliable solutions. If you find your sump pump is not operating correctly contact the professionals at Artisan Home Services. Either way, the objective is to introduce water without hitting the float switch as this can damage it or cause a malfunction. To see if your pump is working properly, either slowly pour water into the sump pit until the float activates the switch and the pump empties the basin, or you can raise the water level with a hose. Once the water level drops and lets the float drop as well, the pump shuts off. As the water level rises, the float rises with it, and eventually trips a switch and activates the pump. The pump itself has a float similar to the float in the back of a toilet. As the water table rises, water drains into the sump pit and is pumped out and drained far from the foundation. In the sump pit is a basin approximately 2 feet in diameter with holes on the sides. Electrical standard UL 778, CA: Electrical standard CSA C22.Sump Pump Installation in Bucks & Montgomery County, PAĪ sump pump is installed in a sump pit, which is usually in an out of the way place in a basement, like the mechanical room. The Saniswift has been certified to American and Canadian Standards. The Saniswift is a compact unit with attractive rounded contours that fits neatly into tight spaces. It is also highly recommended for the gray water pump to be connected to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Please note that the vent system should be a two-way air vent. All plumbing codes require connection to a vent system. This unit has been designed with a vent connection on the lid. A non-return valve, which comes already assembled on the discharge rubber connector, prevents back flow into the unit.
The waste water from other sanitary fixtures is discharged into the Saniswift via two 1-1/2 inch inlets, on either side of the housing and an additional inlet on the top of the unit. The Saniswift can also accept gray water from a washing machine through an indirect connection such as a laundry sink.
This base should be made out of a 2" x 6" (minimum) or 2” x 8” (recommended) on edge, to allow for the installation of a P-trap and the required 1/4” per foot gravity flow towards the pump unit. When adding a shower, a base will have to be constructed. In addition to a sink, the Saniswift will also accept and discharge the waste water from a variety of other sanitary fixtures such as: a laundry sink, a shower, a urinal. A normal operating cycle for the Saniswift can be as short as 2 - 10 seconds depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration power consumption is therefore minimal. Once the water is discharged and the water level in the container goes down, the pressure switch deactivates the unit until water enters the unit again. The unit pumps the effluent upward to 14 feet and/or 140 feet horizontally (with gravity fall). A spindle/shaft drives the impeller and therefore the moving parts are kept to an absolute minimum. The motor is sealed for life in an oil filled enclosure. When the water enters the Saniswift, it activates a pressure switch which in turn starts the motor. The inside of the Saniswift is comprised of a pressure switch and circuit board assembly, which starts and stops the unit, and the motor, which drives the pump. The system is able to discharge the waste up to 14 feet vertical and/or 140 feet horizontal.This model is powerful and economical with a compact design and multiple inlets which makes it perfect for installations anywhere you can imagine. The Saniswift drain pump is used to pump gray water away from a variety of fixtures in residential applications.
