It is sad that the subjects of predestination and election are a stumbling block for many believers.
1 An average sump pump (pedestal or submersible) for a typical home runs about $100-$300 depending on the horsepower, materials (plastic is less expensive than cast iron or stainless steel), flow rate and the height the water needs to be lifted to discharge it. A submersible sump pump costs more and only lasts 5-15 years, but is typically quieter and less obtrusive than a pedestal model. 2  Both types of sump pumps range in horsepower from a quarter to 1HP; a 1/3HP sump pump is standard for most homes.
1 Sometimes, hardwiring the pump is necessary, which may cost $1000 to $2000. 2  Installing a backup sump pump is always a good idea, just in case the primary gets clogged damaged or there is a power outage. 3  A backup sump pump runs on either batteries or water power, and can be purchased and installed for $500 to $1000.
