Tremendous sump application pump

This pump was purchased to replace an identical pump that had developed a sticky switch. The old pump was ~15 years old and had worked flawlessly. We have had storms that , literally, dumped over a foot of water during it's course and this pump kept my basement dry. My only complaint is that the pump body, being cast iron, rusted quite badly and simply touching it made a rusty mess on everything that was close. Still, purchasing another unit was a "no brainer" due to it's reliability.[...]

The pump works well. It doesn't return off everytime

The float switch is sticking and the pump runs when the pit is empty. The float doesn't appear to be heavy enough to turn it off.

Good pump at good price from Supplyhouse.com

I replaced the old pump with the same pump model and it's a breeze to change out that way. The first pump lasted about 12 years until the float switch didn't work correctly, the pump still works so I can just change out the switch and have a backup to throw in if I need to. Supplyhouse.com has the best price for it too.

I would (and have) bought this product again.

This pump is terrific. It is used to manage groundwater in my semi-finished basement.

Works the way it is supposed to.

Pump empties dry well when it rains so the water does not overflow and go into basement. Same model lasted 13 years. Delivery fast. Installation straightforward.

Q: Zoeller model M53 specification has 9.7 Amps. Is that peak or continuous run. I will also want to buy an eletrical Inverter and I want to make sure I purchase the correct box.

That spec refers to full-load amps (amps when at running conditions).

I believe that is a specification for typical continuous current. Peak current could exceed that on start up or under heavy loading. That says you need an 1150 watt inverter minimum. That is a lot of current from a battery!

Q: What is the difference between a sump pump and a effluent pump??????

Sump pumps mainly pump clear water. Effluent pumps are used in septic tank applications to pump the "gray water."

Q: how high will this pump water? I have a 9 foot rise and 10 foot horizontal run to discharge. Will this pump work for my situation?

Asked by levo77 15 years ago

Add your answer

Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

This pump should easily work over a 15' rise and 10' horizontal run discharge, unless there are extreme GPM or voltage requirements.
