Frequently Asked Questions

How long do sump pump floats last?

Stainless steel sump pump float balls typically last 15-20 years or longer due to their corrosion-resistant construction, far outlasting plastic floats which degrade from UV exposure and chemical contact. Lifespan depends on water chemistry, pressure conditions, and mechanical wear, but pressure-tested stainless steel floats offer significantly greater durability and reliability than standard plastic alternatives.
