“This can save the day. While this is not as powerful unit as a regular sump pump it works when your other one doesn't. Electric sump pumps can be finicky and need electricity but this one works off water flow and pressure and can save the day when your power is out or your switch goes bad. Gives me piece of mind! After coming home to water in the basement a couple of times, I rest a little easier when I am gone and its storming. It can be installed by a home owner but you do need some skills and patience. Make sure and follow instructions if you want it to work efficiently.”
“Installation was a chore which requires a good amount of planning and buying adapters, but once you have everything, it works really well. I believe installation is possible for anybody that is relatively handy. I use it as a backup sump pump in case the first one goes out or the power goes out. I recommend using Sharkbite products for push-to-fit installation. Also, make sure you use a check valve, or back flow preventer, between the main water line and this product to prevent back flow into the city water supply.”
“I cannot say enough good things about this pump. Above all it's the piece of mind you have when the lights go out and the water is flowing in that you don't have to worry about your basement flooding.I installed a fill line right off the main feed line (the valve with the red handle in the picture) so I can test the pump every once in a while. I plan on testing it once a year, which has ended up being used a lot to show my friends and family how well this cool little pump works.”
“This is a bad mammer jammer! when I plumbed this in I added a water valve to add water to the crock anytime I wanted to test both pumps. I just run water, make sure sump works. Then unplug sump and run water, make sure aqua pump works. I do this every month. I used copper 3/4" pipe right into the shark bite. 1 1/2" pvc for the discharge.I used the 2x4 to support the pump as it would not get close enough to the sump to clamp it. It comes with a 2x4 template so you can make your cuts.”
“It worked for just under 3 years a now won't shut off. I'll order another one but this time I'll get the protection plan. It works great but is made of plastic and won't last more then a few years.”
