Replaced Old Pump
By Mickey D
Indiana
Review Posted 11/11/2022
Replaced my old pump. Haven't received very much rain so performance rating is off of pouring water to see if it works. Will know how it works when we have more rain.

Thank You For Availability And Quick Turn Around
By George K.

Purchased 01/07/2022 |
Review Posted 01/25/2022
The quick turn around was awesome. I actually ordered a second pump the following week since both of my sump pumps quit at same time. The availability, along with shipping cost included, enables me to sleep at night when it rains and my house won't get flooded again,

Impressive Build Design
By John T.
Joliet, Illinois
Purchased 03/07/2021 |
Review Posted 03/15/2021

This pump is fitted in a small sump pit, approx 2ft across and 3ft deep. With a pipe height of 7 feet, fitted with a flapper check valve by Zoller which is available on the website. It excavates the water promptly yet operation is very quiet and the only thing heard is the check valve closing. Plumbing is all tied down on the wall with hold downs and tap-cons. Very professional install and hopes it'll outlast the competitive branded pump. Usually don't do reviews but this is well deserved.

Liberty 1/4 HP Pump
By Cliff M.
Vancouver, Washington
Purchased 01/23/2021 |
Review Posted 03/09/2021
The pump looks of high quality. The vertical float on/off works very smooth. I have only had it installed for 1 month, but so far so good. Way to early to say anything else. It seems to be a very good pump. Not easy to find the 1/4 HP pumps of high quality.

Review Posted 03/20/2018
The Liberty Pumps 247 VMF - 1/4 HP Sump Pump was a good match for my small sump. This was much more substantial then the one it replaced. Case Iron with vertical float. Easy to install and worked perfectly.

Just What I Wanted
By Steve A.

Review Posted 11/10/2016
I was looking for a vertical float pump with low volume and decided on this one after discussion with the salesman. It was easy to install and arrived in amazingly quick time.

Quick To Install & Extremely Quiet
By Bob
Endicott, New York
Purchased 04/11/2016 |
Review Posted 05/03/2016
The pump was purchased to replace a burned-out Flotec inside a laundry sump system. The Liberty pump was installed in five minutes, and is so quiet that I can only tell that it's running by feeling the vibration in the piping. We're extremely pleased with this pump, and glad to have spent a little extra money to gain peace of mind.
