Great Backup Solution
By Matt P 
Minnesota
Purchased 03/06/2024 | 
Review Posted 04/03/2024 
I was looking for a backup sump pump solution that did not rely on Battery maintenance and determined this would fit my needs. Installation is fairly straight forward, but does require some planning and measuring before installation.

I wish it was a little more clear on how much elbows in your supply line or discharge line could impact your flow rates. In the end I did not experience any issues, but if you were unsure of your incoming pressure or had a high-lift height, I could see these items becoming problems. Expect to potentially re-plumb your main pump discharge as well, depending on your setup.

Overall I am happy with the product and hope it never needs to be used, but I am happy knowing a backup solution is now protecting the basement.

I think this is a good alternative for those of us wanting to spare the expense of a automatic back up generator system.
