They Nailed The Product
By Scott

Review Posted 01/06/2016 
Once in a while you come across a product that delivers 100% on its promise in an industry filled with empty promises.

This product promises to get rid of the completely unacceptable failure-prone design of both mechanical and float based switches that for some strange reason are still being sold even in 2016. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results, yet it seems that's exactly what many homeowners do when they replace a failed sump switch over and over with the same failure-prone design or switch between the two common failure-prone designs.

What good is a switch design that "only" fails or "only" gets hung up on debris every year in an active pit? Those of you with an active pit still using the decades-old switch design know what I mean.

I gave this a "5" for value because I truly believe this solid state product will pay for itself in time even at it's relatively high cost because I will no longer have to deal with :
1) Annually failed switches that need to be replaced
2) Flooded basement cleanup due to #1
3) Switches where the set point drifts over time

So it completely solves the main problems with poorly designed switches. But that's just the switches. Now what about the features you get with the controller?

The controller adds these safeguards above and beyond the solid state switches:
1) Alternates dual AC pumps to prolong life in active pits
2) If one pump fails the other pump takes over completely at the exact same water level set point.
2) Dry contact alarm state triggered by:
- Failed pump
- Pump that can't keep up with inflow

If you want to sleep well at night knowing your property is protected, do you really want to trust a lower rated pump that has been sitting idle for who knows how long, a cheezy plastic DC pump to handle the entire inflow on its own, or a duplicate of the same primary pump that also sees regular use? (I use the AC35i with inverter battery backup. See my review there).

Bonus features that are simply nice to have:
- See the "live" water level on the display at any time
- Set the water level set point in 0.5" increments without opening the pic cover!
- Even though this is a computerized controller there is no setup at all, I mean ZERO. Plug in the pumps, switches, controller, and set the water level. Water level is literally the only option that can be adjusted.

I've had this system installed for over a year now. I estimate my pit is active around 50% of the year and during the most active periods the cycle times are less than a minute! It still works identically to how it worked the day it was new.

Solves a Real Problem

Review Posted 04/30/2015 
Have a whole-house ATS/ generator -- but needed a backup Sump Pump and Controller to protect against single pump failure flooding finished basement. This product appears to do just that...

I installed two pumps in the pit feeding a single pipe through rim-joist to outside. Needed to insure ONLY one pump ran at a time (to avoid over pressure damage). This product alternates pumps automatically and includes two digital pressure sensors for redundancy.

Nice feature is ability to set the pressure differential at which pump is turned on to any range between 1 inch and 22 inches (in my pit each inch is a gallon of water, and I've set it at 7 inches so there's no backflow into sump inlet).

The sensors are about 4" in diameter and are completely waterproofed with signal cord back to main unit (wall mounted). They come with mounting hardware allowing them to be easily attached to pump pipe without removing pump from pit.

Seems to be a well executed product. I have been using it now for a month.

Spot on to what I needed
By Aaron W.

Purchased 01/02/2015 | 
Review Posted 01/25/2015 
I just moved into new location and house where the water level in the sump was about an inch from the top of the pit, or floor level. Pump was a 2/3 horsepower, 2" discharge beast of a pump. Though actually fairly quiet, it didn't agree with my belief that the water level shouldn't be allowed to get that high.

Not good for the foundation as I've read and no freeboard when the rains came. Well by moving the tethered float sensor lower, the pump began to short cycle too much. Long story short, I switched to 1/3 horsepower pump(s) and added this Ion gem to the system. The Ion has allowed me to set a longer run cycle, control the water level height within 0.5 inches and have a high level alarm to boot.

The sensors are a tad bulky, but when used with the Stormpro pumps, I was able to fit both sensors and two pumps in a 18" crock with still room left. The Ion was a breeze to set-up and worth the extra cost for the high water table area I now live in. I'll try to report back in a year on how all is going but so far it's been perfect.
