Red Lion Pedestal Sump Pump

A pedestal sump pump like this Red Lion model keeps its motor up and out of the water. On a pedestal pump, the motor sits on a column above the pit and only the pump base goes in the water, so the motor stays dry and is easy to reach. A float rod turns the pump on and off as the water rises and falls.

A sump pump sits in the basement sump pit and pumps out groundwater before it can flood the basement.
