Why have a pump control panel.

22 Jul Why have a pump control panel.

We often get asked about these

If you have a dual submersible pump set up and both pumps have built in float switches, one pump will do a majority of the work. This will result in a failed pump while the other pump will not work. When the “working pump” eventually fails, it will possibly short out and cause power failure to the pumps.

Typically this happens during heavy rain when the pumps are needed, and flooding of the area will occur.

If you have a pump control panel, there are pump float switches independent of both pumps. The pumps will alternate in duty. Should one pump fail, the inbuild breaker for that pump will trip out, leaving the main supply operating, and the working pump in operation. An alarm will sound, giving warning of an issue. This allows timely repairs to be carried out of the pump system. Also should high water or flooding water in the basement or pump pit occur, the alarm will sound to alert you as to this.
