why is my sump pump no hot water

Plumbing

The answer to 'why is my sump pump no hot water' is that a sump pump is not connected to the hot water supply. Sump pumps are designed to remove excess water from a basement or crawl space, and they only use cold water to operate. If you are experiencing an issue with your sump pump, it is likely not related to hot water.

Some common issues with sump pumps include a failed or malfunctioning pump, a clogged or blocked intake, or a problem with the electrical connection. If your sump pump is not working properly, it's best to call a professional plumber to diagnose and repair the issue.

How often should I have my sump pump serviced?
