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.
The standard sump pump ($100 to $200) is 1/3-horsepower, which is powerful enough to remove 1,800 to 2,200 gallons an hour, a pretty significant flood. If youâre in an extreme flood zone â or your machine will have to pump the water up 10 feet or more of vertical pipe to get it outside â move up to a Â½-horsepower ($150 to $350) pump, which can handle 3,000 gallons an hour.
