Zoeller 1/2 N98
By Steven F
Wisconsin
Purchased 05/30/2024 |
Review Posted 06/21/2024
Shipping was faster than expected. Have used 1/3 hp Zoeller pumps for years in my house with no issues. Have had issues with Wyane and Barricuda sump pumps then switched to exclusively Zoeller. I live in a very wet area and my sump pump runs all year long - and runs frequently. My experience with all sump pumps is switches fail before pumps do. For my house, I change the switch every 12 months and have had no switch failures. The 1/2 hp pump is backup to the 1/3 hp sump Zoeller that has been working hard for 5 years.

Zoeller Sump Pump M98
By Roger V
Iowa
Purchased 11/11/2019 |
Review Posted 05/31/2023
I was disappointed with this pump I purchased. The motor locked up at 3.5 years. My sump pit is always very clean and I usually change out pumps every 5 years. Hopefully the next one is better.

Strong Pump
By Michael B

Purchased 02/27/2023 |
Review Posted 03/21/2023
Very heavy pump, somewhat of an overkill for my need. Tired of spending money on cheaply made plastic pumps with tethered switches that don’t last.

Serious Pump
By Joel H
Illinois
Purchased 02/18/2023 |
Review Posted 03/14/2023
This pump will empty out your residential sump system in half the time it takes one of the home store models, and at half the noise level as it's really quiet. DO NOT put this pump on or near any gravel at the bottom of the sump pit or it will ingest the rocks and die. This pump must sit on a non-gravel surface, it is so powerful that it easily sucks in nearby debris.

Good While It Lasted
By Jason F.
New Jersey
Review Posted 12/09/2022
I purchased this unit in 2016 and it died in mid-2022. It has a 3 year warranty, but I am disappointed with its lifespan.
This unit was one of two in my basement and it was attached to an electronic switch. My expectation was that the longer thro of the electronic switch would result in a longer life-span. Not so. I'm in western NJ and I'm told our water is hard. Also, this unit was over-kill for the water flow rate in the pit. When it worked, it worked so fast that the pit was dry in seconds. My advice would be to get a smaller capacity pump and save a few dollars.

Non-Automatic Pump No Float Switch Electronic
By Jerome S
Pennsylvania
Review Posted 05/26/2022
The Zoeller N98 with the electronic Hydro-check proximity switch is a winning combination for my needs. The on cycle has a very wide adjustment range and allows the pit to fill to a much higher level before activating the pump. Fewer on cycles should lengthen overall pump life.
The 1/2 HP pump is more than adequate to drain the pit quickly avoiding potential overrun. It is quiet and powerful. I am pleased with my choice and highly recommend it for similar applications.

Overall Decent Performance
By Ed K.
Illinois
Purchased 03/06/2022 |
Review Posted 03/29/2022
I purchased this pump to replace the same pump that failed. Unfortunately the Zoeller died while we were on vacation. Thank God the backup system worked well. The N98 lasted a few days short of 4 years. This is about a year more than the pumps I was buying from Home Depot. I live in an area where there is a high water table with high iron and and very hard water. The pump has to run a lot. I was hoping for a little longer life expectancy, but satisfied overall with the performance.

I am torn between which Zoeller pump would be best for my application. My basement is 104' and currently takes in approximately 3" of water when there is a hard rain. The water is only on one side of the basement and never comes up on the other. Would you recommend a 1/3 hp or 1/2?
