Burcam 400701P Reviews & Ratings
Quit After 3 Months
By John P.
Marietta, Georgia
Review Posted 03/25/2021
Do not buy this or any other Burcam product. I have had to replace 3 of these in just over 2 years! Burcam would not replace the latest pump that again failed, even though the warranty on the unit stated it was good until 08/ 2022.
Bad customer service and will not purchase this brand again!

Very sorry these pumps didn't meet your needs. If you've had 3 pumps fail in a span of 2 years, it may be that the pump is not the correct option for your application. You may want to consider contacting a plumber to see if there's a better option for you.

No longer works. Looks as though it may be the start capacitor.

Float Issue
By Simon P.
St. Louis, Missouri
Review Posted 07/19/2018
It really seems to be a strong pump however a little quirky on initial install and test but once float was adjusted it seemed great but a week or so afterwards. The pump would stay running until we’d tap the float through the grommet hole & after messing with it for days tapping it I tried calling and was told to email then was told it’s a manufactures issue so I contacted them and they said since I just installed it within the month it was the suppliers issue and all the while for that week this pump was running practically nonstop. I was told it’s under a year warranty but I’m concerned with it running nonstop like that it reduced the life span. It took another week to receive a new float and we had to replace it.
So far it’s been working but will be watching out for this. I’d like to give better review. I had high hopes yet not so good this far. Still hoping it’s a fluke and will be a great pump for years to come.
