Customer Reviews for VEVOR 1HP Sewage Pump, 5600 GPH Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump with Automatic Snap-action Float Switch, Heavy-Duty Submersible Sewage, Effluent Pump for Septic Tank, Basement, Flooding Area

As described, good quality

I ordered this sump pump as a spare. My old sump pump has been keeping our basement dry for over a quarter century and I would not be surprised if my water level alarm went off at any time. It is always better to have the replacement on hand and ready for installation when that happens. This VEVOR 1.5 HP Submersible Cast Iron and Steel Sump Pump comes with the fitting to hook up to my discharge pipe as a bonus. As a test I placed it in our rain barrel, which is larger than our basement sump, and it almost emptied it in less than 45 seconds. It is heavy, so it might be better to have help installing it if your sump is in an awkward location like ours is.

There is little one can do when there is a terrible storm and your sump pump dies at 2AM in the morning. That's exactly what happened to me several years ago and my basement flooded. That's why I got this pump as a spare. this pump boast of moving 6000 GPH, that's a lot of water. Take into mind that it can pump that much if it's 0-4 feet at total feet of lift. But even at maximum lift of 33 feet, it is still capable of of pumping 3,400 GPH. (Gallons Per Hour) In my book that is one powerful pump. This pump is strictly designed for sump pump applications, so don't try to use it as a waterfall pump or a pool pump.I like the float bracket design as that seem to work best in my basement. As the water raises when it hits the top, it automatically switches on and just begins sucking that water out until the float settles to normal. I always make sure I clean out the pump every couple of month as not to get it clogged with silt or other debris. Looking at the suction area at the bottom of the pump is a much larger grate than I've seen in others. Another good idea to allow more water and miniscule debris to flush through.I feel more secure knowing I have a backup if and when the current pump gives out. And they will eventually. This is a excellent buy and I recommend that if you have a sump pump that IS working, get yourself this Vevor 1.5 HP Submersible pump for a backup. And if you need a sump pump, get this one now. You'll thank yourself when it happens. And like I said "it will".

the pump is easy to hook up and use didn't take long to finish the job.

The pump is easy to install if you have basic knowledge about plumbing. The pump is worth the cost for the quality craftsmanship. The pump will last a long time. The pump has a float that activates it to kick on when the water level rises. I would recommend this product.

Built like a tank, heavy duty and ready to work. This sump pump only needs to have a hose added to the outlet. The hose needs to be long enough to reach a sewer or area where the undesirable overflow can be directed. This is used in a basement or area which is flooded. It is a good idea to have it ready BEFORE the event. Which is why I have this placed in the laundry room ready for use. I have tried this out in sink full of water and it works great!

Hooked up like any other sump pump, and it is working great.

This 1.5 hp submersible pump is outstanding. It can handle the biggest of basement floods in a matter of minutes. A great peace of mind item to have just in case you get that basement flood. Can also be used to empty swimming pools or large amounts of water in an area that���s not desired. A great item to have.
