A dual sump pump setup employs two sump pumps—a primary and a secondary—within a sump basin to effectively manage excess water in basements or low-lying areas. The primary pump handles most water accumulation, while the secondary acts as a backup in case of power outages or pump failure. Both pumps are equipped with float switches to detect water levels and activate accordingly. Check valves prevent water from flowing back into the basin, while a properly sized discharge pipe ensures efficient water removal. The dual sump pump system offers enhanced reliability, peace of mind, and protection against flooding.
