shower pump question

[ctcruiser]

ok guys this may be a dumb question but here goes. My shower drain has a pump (no sump) that is turned on and run while you are in the shower it does a good job just very noisy. I see many use shower sump pump system what is the better system and why.

Thanks

i have Rule sumps, they're pretty quiet... had Atwoods before, they failed but were fairly old... i think they may have been a little louder but not much.

if you get the rule, get the one with the largest strainer... i have one with a small strainer (about 1" diam) and one with a 2" strainer that doens't require as frequent cleaning.

The reason for a sump is so that you only operate the pump to drain the collected water. This is done for 2 reasons.
1) Saves battery energy.
2) Many pumps don't like to be run dry.

My sump pump is also very noisy.
