One TripleSafe Sump Pump Feature
The sump pumps installed in the basement TripleSafe sump pump systems have sump pump stands for the sump pumps.
The 2nd Sump Pump Has a Double Stand
To elevate the 2nd sump pump so that its switch will not activate at the same time as the 1st sump pump, the height is doubled by using two sump pump stands. The sump pump stands hold the sump pumps in place and their switching floats will not get trapped between the sump pump and the sump pump liner. Many wet basement have re-occurred due to this problem.
