(OP)
What are the formulars to compute the capacity of sump pumps for basement evacuation of water seepage. Also indicate the effect of rain in inches per hour and the effect of standing water on soil perculation increasing the capacity





RE: calculate sump pump capacity
Capacity of flow can be calculated based on the allowable start frequency, the maximum inflow, head and the pump capacity. Generally, the dimensioning of the sump volume is based on the assumption that the constant inflow is at the critical value, i.e. half of the pump capacity. All manufatures will provide capacity data on there units.
