Evaluation Of The Liberty Sewage Pump
By Francis J.

Review Posted 08/26/2022
My Daughter's sewage pump failed after about 10 years. She ordered a Liberty pump from a Big Box store. I installed it for her. A few weeks later my pump failed after 24 years. Both of the old pumps were the same make. We live next door to each other. Both homes were built about the same time 1996.... I ordered a Liberty pump for my home. I installed it, it works great! Thank You.

After doing research online, I settled on the Liberty Pump sewage ejector pump. I installed the pump last month to replace an older pump that broke down. Installation seemed simple and not difficult. The product appears to be good quality, and durable and quiet operation.

Most Reliable Pump Available

Review Posted 11/06/2019
How often do you want to change a sewage pump. This is an American made commercial duty pump that will outlast any Chinese made pump for only a few more $$$. I only install Liberty or Zoeller pumps. All pumps should be replaced every 5-7 years, I much rather change a sewage pump on my terms and timeline.

Great Pump and Value

Review Posted 07/16/2019
Have had great luck over the past couple years with one LE51 to move creek water overflow, so bought another for water level control in a fish pond location. Good output when we get heavy Texas rains. Highly recommend this model with the 2" output, much preferred to the 1 1/2" output and the trash pump will move all that comes it's way.
Liberty makes a good pump and Sump Pumps Direct nails down good customer service and price. Thanks

Far Superior To Anything In A Big Box Store!

Review Posted 06/03/2019
This is my second liberty LE51 series pump that I have owned. I have one unit i placed outside originally 3-4 years ago and I have been thrilled with that unit. The current pump is installed in my crawl as I was so impressed with the original model. I went with the electric switch this time only since it was indoors and I like the redundant 2 stage switches, but the standard LE51 with float has worked flawlessly outside regardless.
I personally am using this pump in a sump based setting as I wanted it to hopefully be able to pass possible small amounts of pea gravel and outdoor debris which it has done an admirable job of. I also enjoy that the le51 pumps can be plugged in directly if needed due to some sort of float/switch failure. It's worth the extra money to upgrade from a box store pump to a Liberty!

Took Over 2 Weeks To Ship, Had To Call

Review Posted 12/04/2017
Haven’t installed the product yet because it took so long to get here. I purchased several products from you, the main one being the pump. Long weekend plans to install over thanksgiving were canceled. Disappointed. Just another oversized company that dropped the ball and didn’t even realize the ball even dropped.

Very sorry you experienced shipping delays. Based on the notes we have on your order, the original pump was lost during shipment by the carrier. Please understand that this beyond our control and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you.

Farm Work

Review Posted 09/07/2012
I use this pump for pumping out the sump tanks at the end of 3 barns. I also use it for the transfer of pond water to my large garden area.
This pump doesn't mess around. It pumps fast and with plenty of pressure. I think this pump could be used with a generator to pump out of a large tank on a trailer, to spread water with grass seed and re-seed fields that were damaged in this drought we are having.
