This is the second Liberty Pump I've had. The first one lasted for over 15 years. It worked very hard and long at times to keep my basement dry. It did a great job keeping up. (1/3 HP first one Great) They are worth every penny. Thank you.

Awesome Pump
By Ash K.
Piscataway, New Jersey
Purchased 09/11/2021 |
Review Posted 10/05/2021
I am prone to basement flooding. After hurricane Ida, I decided to replace the 1/3 HP pump with a powerful pump like Liberty 297. The pump seems to be rugged. It is very quiet. I also added a quiet check valve. Now, I hardly hear any sound when the pump comes on. Being 3/4 HP pump, it is able to pump the water out very quickly, as a result under normal low drip season, one trigger lasts no more than 10 seconds.
One complaint I have is that there was no coupling included. Minimally, they could have included a 1 1/2 inch coupling, which is the most common one in households.
I am looking forward to the next storm (or maybe not.)

Very Strong Pump
By Amit S.
Los Gatos, California
Purchased 05/25/2021 |
Review Posted 07/06/2021
This is very strong pump. We have gray water bucket and the pump lift the water 30 feet. We had previous pump that couldn't make it. This pump push the gray water up with no problem at all. We had same pump installed for 7 years and died on us.I just replaced it with the exact same pump.
Contractor used PVC to connect to the pump.I found out that it is better to have at least short pipe of galvanized steel pipe on the output. The heat melts the PVC when the pump start to have problems.
I called Liberty pump with questions and they where very helpful.

I am hoping this pump will last over 3 years. I keep buying pumps and they would not last 3 years.
