Where to get a pump for putting in your wash pit?

[bensurdi]

I am looking to get a pump for pumping the water out of my rug pit. Where can you get a pump like this?

Most submersible utility pumps work well for this. What wefound was don't restrict the blumbing, If its an 1.5 opening, use 1.5 hose to pump out, not a garden hose.

If you aren't sure what type or where to get a pump
Maybe you're not ready.
Unless your trying to look like you're building a rug plant well then ask Better questions

3/4" hose hooked to a Simer sump pump works great for us.


edit: available at most good hardware stores, Tru-value, Ace, etc.

How far along are you on your new place? Any pics?

I would say a pump heavier than a standard sump pump. You're going to have lots of dirt and grit to pump out of the pit, so I would go with a cast iron pump....possibly a trash pump. If not, you will be replacing it often.
