Cast Iron Sump Pumps Are Recommended.

Why Are Cast Iron Sump Pumps Recommended?

  • Cast iron is strong and is not likely to crack or break, especially if it is class 25-30 with 25000# tensile strength.
  • Cast iron, though submersed in water, is epoxy coated to retard corrosion.
  • Cast iron is heavy; therefore the sump pump will not move in the sump pit as easily during heavy duty pumping.
  • Cast iron dissipates heat readily. Heat dissipation capability is important for those submersible sump pumps that pump continuously for long periods of time. A sump pump motor that gets too hot will be shut off because of thermal protection against overheating.
  • Cast iron will not wrap thus ensuring all moving parts will remain in alignment and function as intended.

What Characteristics Make Cast Iron Housing A Good Choice For Half HP And Greater Sump Pumps?

  • Strength makes it strong enough to withstand heavy duty pumping
  • Heat Dissipation keeps it from overheating during continuous pumping.
  • Weight keeps the sump pump stable in the basin. some pumps weigh thirty-nine pounds.
  • Durability encourages failed part replacement.
  • Cost higher than thermoplastic is acceptable because heavy duty pumping needs justify more cost.
