It Works So Far

Review Posted 04/02/2021
Cannot be rated because it has not been working for more than 2 weeks. Our last sump pump lasted 27 years and was still working when we replaced it.

The Best Pump For The Money
By Robert

Review Posted 08/30/2018
I need a pump that has a long cord as it was for a drainage for a dock, had called this company before but they did not have one, now they do. I had cut the cord and ran it direct, works great.

Replacement Sump Pump Works Great
By Jan
Oklahoma
Purchased 01/30/2016 |
Review Posted 03/27/2016
My old zoeller M53 finally gave up the ghost after several years of service and I replaced it with the exact same model. So far it is working like a champ. I was so happy to see the model was still available (and at a great price ). That made installation so easy.

Knew Right Away Its Quality & Reliable
By Rick L.
Redwood city, California
Review Posted 03/01/2016
Running two out back moving water out of our parking lot to the front side walk gutter and couldn't be happier. This is replacing one the same because water got into the electrical junction and fried the on off switch. No fault of the pump it was the thumb print that hooked it up! Quiet efficient and a great price I feel. Remember to seal up the wiring and if your moving sewage don't lick your fingers during the installation. Truly great pumps.
