Warehouse Deal was damaged but repairable

Purchased from Revain Warehouse and the item came with a broken bracket. The price was right and I worked directly with the manufacturer to get a replacement bracket at a good price. Overall a great deal!

Pros
  • Ultimate Legend
Cons
  • Security

Great unit with easy installation

System replacement required after existing basement drain pump failed after years of use. A defective pump flooded the basement. The installation of this system is very simple and scores above all because the goods are delivered pre-assembled. Major advantage. It really is a worthy replacement. Very easy.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Good pump, good backup pump, very quiet

Good pump, good backup pump, very quiet, only problem is my first pump broke after 3 years of use. The main pump started getting tons of caustic hole leaks every time water splashed everywhere. After taking them out and replacing them, I noticed the entire main pump was in terrible shape with holes all over the body and top. Great pump but not as long as I was hoping for the price

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost OK

Exact replacement, works better than the original WatchDog pump.

This drain pump is an exact replacement for the previous pump, works great! The only problem with the installation was dealing with the wiring and not interfering with it when installing the unit. Be prepared for water to spurt out of the pressure pipe when you disconnect it from the old unit, it's no big deal. Just be prepared for about a gallon or so going back into the pan. TIP. Keep the pipe pointed into the pan until all the water has drained.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Worth every penny! in Water Pumps Parts & Accessories

I did a lot of research before purchasing this pump. It is definitely the cheapest price and the best quality. Installation was very easy and will take very little time if you have a power drain pump that you are replacing. The installation only took about an hour because I had installed a backup battery. I checked the pump after installation and it worked perfectly. A week after I installed the pump, it rained continuously for five consecutive days and the pump worked continuously the whole…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly Torn
