What People Had To Say
When looking at what people had to say about the Superior Pump 1/3 HP Thermoplastic Pedestal Sump Pump, most of the customers left positive reviews.
Several of these customers shared that they had never used a pedestal style sump pump before and when they installed this one in their home, they found it to work just as well as a submersible. They especially like that it is more affordable than a submersible!
Several people have said they purchased this sump pump said that they have had this product installed in their basement for a while and they reported that it hasn’t shown any signs of corrosion and whenever it comes on, it’s incredibly quiet.
Customers have reported that it was easy to install and they revealed that the pump is quick to remove water.
Unfortunately, not everyone was as impressed with the sump pump as those who left the positive reviews. There were some people who were very disappointed because the pump they received was damaged or defective.
One customer said they ordered a pump and it was broken. They received a replacement, but the motor didn’t work in that one. Another customer reported that the pump they received was defective, as it had no hole for the switch’s lever to go through.
Other customers were upset that only after a month, their pump either made a loud rattling sound, or it stopped pumping.
One customer revealed that the motor on the sump pump developed too much torque, causing the pump shaft to twist so much that it would get out of alignment with the bearings. Some people said that the pump only works when it wanted to. They go on to say that the motor would turn on, but the impeller would not.
Our Recommendation
Sump pumps aren’t just for draining basements, they can be used for a variety of water removal projects. The key to the sump pump like this one is having a powerful motor that will is capable of removing large quantities of water without rousing the whole house if it comes on at night.
We like this sump pump because it is a pedestal sump pump, meaning the motor is above the water. It features a heavy duty motor with copper windings that is housed in a steel and aluminum housing. These components ensures that the motor is always protected and won’t over heat due to prolonged use.
We also like that this pedestal pump features an automatic float switch with a stainless steel switch arm so that it doesn’t corrode if in water.
The pump also features a stainless steel impeller and a 1 1/4 inch NPT discharge that allows for an incredible 3000 gallons per minute.
There is a higher shut off height on the pump. This means the pump is going to have more power to clear more water.
We like the Superior Pump 1/3 HP Thermoplastic Pedestal Sump Pump because it comes with a 1 year warranty. With this warranty, you have one year from the date of purchase to get a replacement if something goes wrong with your pump.
In a perfect world, you wouldn’t even need that warranty, but it is still nice to know that you aren’t out of luck should your pump stop working.
