Benefits of the TripleSafe Sump Pump Lid
Sump pumps often come equipped with lids, but their effectiveness can vary. Many lids feature a small U-shaped cutout that permits water entering the sump to evaporate back into the basement air, potentially causing a musty odor. A lid that traps this moisture and smell within the sump pump is crucial for maintaining a consistently dry and odor-free basement.
The TripleSafe Sump Pump is designed with an airtight lid that not only retains moisture and odor but also prevents debris from entering the sump. Objects like toys or clothing can harm the pump motor or block the discharge line, preventing water from exiting the basement. The lid includes several features to safeguard the sump's integrity. For instance, the WaterWatch Alarm, similar to a smoke detector, alerts you when water levels exceed the pumps' operational range, signaling a problem before damage occurs. The system also has an airtight, radon-approved floor drain, useful for plumbing leaks, allowing water in while keeping damp air from escaping. Moreover, the lid's yellow grommet ring secures electrical lines and blocks evaporation. It also has multiple drain ports for attaching hoses, convenient for draining water from HVAC units or dehumidifiers. Typically, there are two discharge lines through which water is expelled from the house.
Together, these TripleSafe lid features contribute significantly to keeping your basement dry and clean for many years.
