Finding a perfectly-sized replacement pump shouldn't require an engineering degree or complex calculations, and you shouldn't assume your old pump was sized properly, either. Instead, just watch the video and use our Sump Pump Sizing Tool (below). We'll take care of the rest.

 

Step 1: How High Are You Pumping? Measure the vertical distance from the bottom of your sump pit to where the pipe exits your home. Round up.
* Note: the average sump pit is 2 feet deep.

Step 2: How Far Are You Pumping? Measure from the center of your sump pit horizontally, to where the pipe discharges outside of your home. Estimate if you are going through a wall and round up.
