“The install ended up more complicated and expensive than I’d planned since it is directed not to share an outlet with the existing sump pump. Makes sense in hindsight but it meant a change in my install plans.I actually had my primary pump fail while this was on order, and a cheap water alarm I’d bought months before alerted me and saved my basement. it’s nice to know this is in place now.”
“Very easy to install. I had to use the board mount option because I have a separate overflow pit. There is a layout page in the manual that showed exactly how to cut the board for mounting. The performance is very good in my opinion. I have 5.5 ft. of head and standard city water pressure (sorry, I don't know the exact pressure). The pump drops the water level in the pit about 2 inches in 15 sec.”
“Installed as a backup to our Liberty 257 Pump. Plumber was in the basement for around two hours to install everything with an existing outflow pipe.This pump was slow emptying the water pit... So the best this pump offers us is to buy us some time until we can hook up our generator. We don't think this pump could keep up with a strong inflow of Rainwater with the primary pump offline.Even though plumbingsupplyandmore suggests it, you do not need a check valve for this pump. It has a built-in check valve.In some ways I wish that this pump was louder so we would know it is in action. It is all all but silent in operation. Maybe an alarm that indicated it was in use.”
