“I'm a plumber and I won't try to sway you one way or the other, but just know that the weep hole not being there could cause the pump to get vapor locked and run until it burns up.”
“It is a nice product but few parts could have come pre-installed such as the floating mechanism to the pump (pump to the T pipe shpuld have been glued pre shipping and the float to its housing that it needs a little piece that was missing from the part-only I had to wait for another one to show up to return the missing parts. Otherwise a nice product. That is the only reason fro 3 starts otherwise 4 or 5.”
“The instillation went fairly well except that I bought a rubber T connector to attach the pump to the exitsing sump pump discharge pipe. If I would have used the supplied T, I would not have been able to adjust the tilt required to stop an air lock in the pump. After I got everything adjusted and installed, I tested it as recomended. The pump worked as advertized, but it does not move a large ammount of water probably because of the lift required in my application, about 8 feet.Later that week I left the state on business, and when I got home the power was out and the pump was in fact running, but it was only maintaining the existing water level in the sump pump pit. If there would have been a heavy rain, I would still have flooding.All in all it did prevent basement flooding on this occasion and I am glad that i installed the system.”
