Performance you can count on in real scenarios
During heavy rainfall or rapid groundwater buildup, this sump pump quickly reduces water levels, protecting foundations and finished spaces.

The automated float switch responds immediately to rising water, so you don’t have to monitor the pit constantly.
Simple installation and maintenance tips
- Place the pump on a stable base inside the sump pit and ensure the bottom suction intake is clear of fabric, gravel, or sediment.
- Connect to a dedicated 115V circuit and route the 1-1/2" discharge line to a proper drainage area; use appropriate fittings to maintain a clean, leak-free path.
- Keep the pit clean and free of clogs; periodically inspect the float switch to ensure it moves freely and isn’t obstructed by debris.
- Test the unit by slowly filling the pit with water to confirm the float activates and the pump shuts off as the water level falls.
