How this pump stands apart

Compared with lighter-duty units, the Superior Pump 1 HP model delivers substantial flow with reinforced corrosion resistance and a bottom suction design that minimizes clogs and maintenance.

Pro tips for optimal performance

• Install a check valve on the discharge line to prevent backflow and improve efficiency.
• Keep the sump pit bottom clean and free of debris to maximize suction performance.
• Test the automatic switch periodically by filling the pit with water to ensure the pump activates and shuts off correctly.
• Place the pump on a stable, level surface or a sump stand to reduce vibration and noise during operation.
• Ensure the outlet routing remains clear and never directs water toward electrical panels or living spaces.
