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 A separate battery-or water-powered backup emergency sump pump is $150-$350 or more, depending on horsepower, flow rate, materials and other features. 2  A backup pump operates during a power outage or if the primary sump pump fails.
