Product Does As Advertised
By Brian S.
Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania
Purchased 10/04/2021 |
Review Posted 10/26/2021
Product seems to be well made, well designed and fairly priced..Instructions are clear and easy to use. Product was shipped and arrived in excellent time. I can't rate performance yet as it was just installed, but I did test by using a hose to put a large quantity of water in quickly. It did as advertised.

Needed this for an unusual application where the sump pit is only 11" x 11" terracotta. This unit fit nicely. Hard to find a combo unit this small with these capacities. SumpPump Direct's support man, Jim, was instrumental with this.
