Question

We know we are going to need to replace our sump pump. What is the absolute best sump and where did you buy it?  

Answer 1

My husband is a plumber he said Zoeller pumps. They are the best out there and only can purchase them at a plumbing supply house. Retail box store items are not even equivalent to the quality that is built in a zoeller.

We also have a Zoeller and a separate battery back that runs independently of the water get too high. It kept up with all the water today. Unfortunately our window well didn’t though.

Answer 2

We just replaced ours with a Rigid after the storm a couple weeks ago. We are very pleased with it

Answer 3

Following. Juat found out ours is not working!  

Answer 4

We just swapped out our sump last year for a 1/2 HP Metropolitan stainless steel pump with a warranty and it’s been keeping up much better than our old sump.  

Answer 5

Make sure to get a back up battery!  

Answer 6

We have a Wayne sump pump that is actually 2 pumps, 1 with a battery up. It has saved us a couple times already and before this pump we flooded. Tonight, we were a couple inches from the water going over and that was with both pumps going!

Answer 8

Not sure about brand, but a Backup Battery is a must! We have a watchdog.  

Answer 9

When we replaced ours, we put in a system with two primary pumps and a backup. Marine battery backup. WiFi connectivity with alerts sent to us and the installer. And a LOUD alarm.  

Answer 10

We put in a 1/2 HP ejector pump, it has kept up nicely. knock on wood

Answer 11

Get a pressure activated pump. The ones with the float do not last long. 7 years for the pressure activated pump and only 2 years for the pump with the float.
