“This thing is a life and property saver. Living in an all electric home, when the power is out in a storm, you need a pump like this. I will never use anything but this type of backup for my sump. I installed mine using PEX and shark bite to avoid/work around hard water corrosion. If you have city water there is no other option for a backup sump pump!”
“I installed this in a property w/ a history of flooding, which did just that when Tropical Storm Isaias came through, and knocked out the power for over 24 hours. A tornado sparked by Isaias caused significant damage to structures / trees making it almost impossible to quickly get to the property and remedy things. I already had a basement drainage system installed several years ago which prevents flooding when there is AC power present. The sump pip is probably 3' deep so this allowed this to easily go above the AC powered sump so this only triggers if something has gone wrong. I installed check valves on both sump pump discharges and a Watts dual check valve backflow preventer on the water supply to this pump. When done we unplugged AC powered sump and filled up the pit to test this. I was impressed how quickly this lowered water in the pit w/ roughly 9' of head. I am confident that this will prevent another flood if power goes out in the future. The pump seems to be a quality product at a very reasonable price point. I considered battery backup dc powered sump and inverter backup but I don't like to depend on batteries. What happens when the batteries drain or don't work because of poor preventive maintenance? And I like the cost point of this product versus the other options. Great product / price....”
“if you want to keep the fizz in your pop of a 2 liter bottle through it's entirety use the fizz keeper. By pumping air into the bottle until it feels tight it prevents the pop from being able to go bad and start losing its fizz. Have been using these for years successfully.”
