Why it matters
The RL-SP33PED is a 1/3 HP pedestal pump in reinforced polypropylene. Its adjustable snap-action float starts it at 8 to 10 in of water and stops it at 3 to 5 in.
Red Lion rates it at 3,300 GPH at zero lift and 16 ft shutoff on 4 A. It suits basins at least 13 in wide and up to 24 in deep, and has a two-year warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Small, shallow pits
- Average water
- Easy servicing
Look elsewhere if
- Sewage or toilet waste
- Draining pools or floors (a utility pump is cheaper)
- Homes that need a backup but have only one pump
- Lifts over about 12 ft
Pros and cons
Pros
- Rust-free
- Adjustable float
- Easy access
Cons
- 16 ft shutoff
- Louder
- 8 ft cord
Limitations to weigh
- Pedestal pumps keep the motor above the water; they're louder than submersibles but easy to reach and service.
- Maximum head is where flow drops to zero; at your lift the pump moves less than its maximum flow. Size it with the sizing calculator.
