A typical sump pump, when installed correctly in an appropriate application, can usually be expected to have a lifespan of anywhere between 7 - 10 years depending on the application. However, every once in a while, you might run across an exception to the norm.

"How long should my sump pump last?" This is one of the most common questions, and the answer is seven to ten years. However, here is the latest testimony from a customer replacing his Zoeller sump pump after 31 years!

The National Library of Korea was founded in 1945 and has been in its current location since 1988. The main building consists of seven floors and a basement level, and two smaller buildings are attached. 

The Le Loi Hospital consists of a clinic, an emergency room, and a labor room. The hospital utilizes a small wastewater treatment system for all discharged waste from the buildings.

Jumex is a fruit juice manufacturer based in Mexico. When a processing plant was opened in El Salvador in 2009, it was required to have its own wastewater treatment plant on site. A local Zoeller distributor, is running this system utilizing their own chemical treatment process powered by Zoeller pumps.

It is likely in this type of location that gasoline may drip onto the ground around the filling stations and would then be washed into the pump pits by rainfall. This can create a hazardous environment, which requires a hazardous duty pump to remove water from the building’s foundation.

This healthcare center is located in a rented, commercial building. Since the company is not permitted to destroy or change the structure of the facility, they are not able to install buried discharge piping through which wastewater would be moved away from the foundation.
