“Installation is straightforward but requires planning. Addresses backup needs without battery maintenance. Satisfied with the product protecting the basement.”
“This product leaked out of the box where the impeller meets up with the Y connection. I had to re-install this product 3x before I figured out that the leak was coming from the part that was pre-assembled. I took that apart and applied a generous amount of Teflon tape and now it is fine...... but very disappointed that this was overlooked, cost me some $$$.”
“I ordered from Canada. I got shipping notice and confirmation about the amount which included a line item for Import Fees totalling $49.58 Cdn. I complained and order was retracted. I found out when I tried to track the owner.Nevertheless, I reordered and this time no import fees were added.As a DIY guy, I drew a picture of how to connect to water and drain as a secondary sump pump. With power outages increasing, having a water powered sump pump is mandatory.Included in photos is the pump spy that comes with two back flow valves. I cut one side of the spy pump so things fit better.Photos show Zoeller sump pump mounted vertically. Water input at bottom and water out at top.”
“This backup pump works great! I selected it based on the reputation of regular Zoeller primary sump pumps.I am not a plumber and spent my time installing it and using shark-bite fittings and valves as I didn’t want to get into soldering connections. I contacted Zoeller afterwards and recommended they specify pipe dope instead of Teflon tape for the screw-type connections and provide more detailed instruction on how to connect the float valve hose connections.”
