Quiet, efficient, easy to install
By Michael J. Cashen
I chose this one because it has a 1 1/4" female threaded coupling which matches my old pedestal sump pump, making replacement a snap, and it's also easy to find the 1 1/4" threaded male adapter you'd need to join to PVC pipe if you're going from scratch or you're if your old pump's connections don't match. If your old pump doesn't run through a check valve, you should get one for this pump to prevent back-flow through the pump, shortening its life (according to the instruction manual) or worse.It's quiet - I'm so used to hearing my old noisy pump running that I initially went into the basement several times to check this one out several times during a heavy rain to make sure it was working.I ordered this after my old pedestal pump died during the power outage/basement flooding from Hurricane Irene and it arrived in the middle of several days of heavy rain from the remnants of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lee. I had been manually running the cheap pool pump, which I had bought to pump out the Irene basement flood, every couple of hours (all through 3 nights!) when it arrived, required less than 15 minutes of work to replace my old pump, and it easily handled the job and saved my sanity.The instruction manual is very poor, though. For example, it mentions cleaning out an "airlock hole" if the pump doesn't move water, but doesn't tell you where it is anywhere in the document or on the box. In planning how to position the pump in your sump well: note that the instructions say nothing about keeping the two power cables (one from the float switch, one from the motor) out of the way of the float, though it should be obvious they need to be fed away from the side of the sump well the float is on and need to be supported so they don't slide down into the well and tangle things. Only one outlet is needed because the pump motor plug piggybacks into the float switch plug.Despite the poor manual, I still rate it 5 stars because it's a quality pump (watch the video linked under the photo at top left of this item's webpage) and it's much less expensive than the pumps I can purchase locally.

Quiet with good flow rate
By CST
I purchased this pump to partially drain my 30,000 gallon pool to get the cyanuric acid level down.It drained about 7,500 gallons in about 3 hours which matches the 40 gallon/hr rating. It was sitting on a pool step and the rise was about 1.5 ft using a 25ft, 1.25 inch plastic hose kit I purchased at OSH (local hardware store).I could barely hear the pump wile it was running. The little floater that turns off the pump kicked in when there was about 3 inches of water at the base. I think the instructions say that you can drain much lower, but I guess you need to "override" the floater to do this.I'm very happy about this purchase - the price was about $75 less than the pump that the local pool supply store sold with approx same specs. It came with a screw-on adapter that fit into my hose kit. No adapter for standard hose, but I'm sure that is cheap to get.My only regret was that I drained into the street's gutter, but found out later that the water would end up in the local streams, marshes, etc. Next time I'll drain into a sink or bathtub using a standard 100ft hose. It'll take twice as long, but be better for the environment. If you have a sewer cleanout port nearby, you can darin into that.

Cheaper than HD and Lowes
By Ian Jeffries
This sump pump works great. It was easy to install and seems to be built well for the price. Make sure you get a check valve! This one works well and is silentZoeller 30-0181 Check Valve, 1-1/2 Inch. The pump itself doesn't make much noise either.
