Float Valve Replacement
By Terry L
Minnesota
Purchased 06/06/2024 |
Review Posted 06/28/2024
Sump is builders original installed 7 years ago but recently stopped working with excessive spring rains. Contacted support help line and determined issue was the double float by eliminating and connecting sump directly to electrical. Ordered replacement and received quicker than promised even without paying for express shipping. Installation was exceptionally easy without issues in nick of time in advance of heavy rains...so far has worked and was far cheaper than having to replace whole sump pump system.
Might consider contacting SumpPumps Direct Help support for adding back-up battery to system.

My sump pump was running every 30 seconds, driving us crazy. Adding this float switch allowed me to configure things so that the sump fills to a higher level before the pump runs.

It Works With No Hassle
By Bruce H.
SAINT PAUL, Minnesota
Purchased 01/04/2020 |
Review Posted 02/17/2020
So my old switch was about 4 years old quit working. I had a secondary switch on the pump which alerted me to the problem. I got on line and order this one. It went in no problems and has been working without any issues for a couple of months now. My pump works all year long, regardless of season - and I need a good reliable pump and switching mechanism. This works

Review Of Part For My Sump Pump
By Morton F.
York, Pennsylvania
Purchased 11/19/2018 |
Review Posted 12/11/2018
The company was very good with which to do business. Unfortunately, I ordered a part I did not need. The company received my return about 10 days ago and I am waiting for them to credit my account. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Not Happy
By James G.
Illinois
Purchased 04/14/2016 |
Review Posted 05/07/2016
I am a small plumbing contractor, and I like the pro series pumps a lot. What I do not appreciate is when I bring the pump into a clients home to install it. Open the box and the float is missing. This is now the second time this has happened. When I called to complain. The person I spoke with seemed as if it was common. Very extremely disappointed with Sump Pumps Direct!!!

We apologize for the issue you had regarding the missing switch. This is more of a quality control issue with Pro Series because these are shipped sealed in the mfg packaging.

Review Posted 12/05/2012
This pump system was highly recommended by the company installing a new sump pump in our basement. We really liked the idea of the dual float switch and the power-outage alert. However, what we didn't find out until after everything was installed is that the pump has a maximum cycle time of 45 seconds.
What this means is that during wet periods in the spring, the pump is constantly turning on and off. Our old "big box store" pump and switch used to run for several minutes, and then shut off for a longer period. Each time the pumps runs, you can hear the water rush - this is very annoying and we are thinking about replacing this pump. According to manufacturer's customer service rep, the only thing we can do is use the old switch which doesn't plug into the controller - we lose the back-up switch and power alert which were factors that made us choose this one.
