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 While optional, many homeowners opt to consider a backup sump pump. 2  A backup system, depending on the complexity, can cost around $300 to $1,000 to have professionally installed. 3  This can either be by battery or through the water line in the basement. Various sump pump models at Walmart.com range from $50 to more than $200. 2  For example, the WAYNE 1/10 HP Oil-Free Submersible Multi-Purpose Sump Pump retails for $57 while the Superior Pump 1/3 HP Sump Pump retails for $63. 3  At PlumberSurplus.com, automatic sump pumps cost about $150 to more than $1,000.
