Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Budget wet basements
- Narrow pits
- Spare pumps
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
Pros and cons
Pros
- 1/2 HP
- 3-year warranty
- Low price
Cons
- Plastic
- Shorter life than cast iron
- Can short-cycle
Limitations to weigh
- 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.
- Fit a check valve on the discharge so water in the pipe doesn't fall back into the pit after each cycle.
