We bought this to have on hand for emergencies with standing water. We tested it and it worked great, we’re grateful to have this on hand for the future!
This heater works great in my tiny house! I love it! The customer service is amazing!
I had to buy a shut off switch so the pump wouldn't run constantly.
I purchased this pump to use as a backup, but it has more than enough power to be the primary pump for my groundwater basement system. This unit is lighter, so I installed it higher than the primary pump. Honestly I think it works as good or better than my primary pump. Not sure how it would do being submersed under water for long periods of time or if it rusts. I have it up higher in my basin so it probably wont be wet much. I used the cyberpower CP 1500 120 watt system as the battery backup in the event of a power outage or a primary pump failure. I tested it today and it worked great. The battery backup can run up to 8 amps 1/3 horsepower pump and I ran it through about 4-5 cycles and it barely used any juice from the battery to move the water out. I figure I will get at least 3-4 hours of time since the pump only kicks on every so often in a rainstorm. So far the entire system works great. I choose this pump to run off the battery because it only draws about 4 amps, but is very powerful... I have at least an 8-10 foot lift to get it up out of the basement and it moved the water with no issues in a matter of seconds with the hose spraying water into the basin at the same time. I installed a new pipe down into this sump and used the Superior Pump 99555 Universal Check Valve that was only 6.99 and it worked great.
I bought one of these several years ago to help bring the level of my pool down when I’m closing for the winter, I also use it in the winter as I don’t actually cover my pool the way most people do, so occasionally I pull some more water out, and I also have an attached spa that I keep dry. So just get used quite a bit during the winter when it’s not freezing. So I put it in the pool on the 2 step and completely forgot about it for a day and a half. Which means it was running dry for at least 24 hours when I went out it was not running. I assumed it was dead and immediately jumped on Amazon and ordered a new one as it’s something I need. For grins it rain the day before the new one was going to come, so I just figured I’d throw this one in and see what it would do, amazingly it work! And I’ve used it several times since and it continues to work…. Not saying you should expect yours not to burn out I guess I just got lucky, I also wonder if having it in near freezing weather kept it cool enough. But I still don’t know why it stopped running, because when I went out, it was not running and electricity did not trip. Anyways, pretty amazing, and the new one still in the box in case I mess up this one again…..
