Zoeller 105-0001 Sump Pump: Efficient Water Removal, Compact Design, Lightweight Review

Installed for my washing machine as Flotec pumps couldn't last more than a month or two. The thing doesn't make a bang, but it's too big for a laundry tub. I assume the float switch will wear out quickly as it operates in short pulses since it's too big. I don't care, however, as all the other pumps I've spent time and money on couldn't handle a piece of lint without binding. Replacement switches are also cheap and easy to replace. This is an American monster, I love it. Has been running for…

We moved to a new house last year and due to the unusual design of the house our washing machine was in the spot where we needed a pump to use it. I'm not a very skilled guy, but a friend came to me and we were able to set him up in one night. It works great and pumps the wash water down the drain pipe when needed. It's not the product you usually think of or buy, but when you need it, you need it! This is a great product I would recommend if so. Note: We have attempted to connect the exhaust…

This is a very nicely packaged system. It's easy to maintain and has a better pump than other all-in-one systems I've also compared.

Simply put a 2" x 1 1/2" sleeve in the tank and instead of a 2" tank connection, run a 1 1/2" vent. I also pulled out the existing cleanup for the exit connection and added a Y in its place. Installation was relatively…

My driveway changes direction as it approaches the garage. There is a useless gutter crossing the driveway to the garage door that doesn't connect to the drain pipe. I was looking for a submersible pump that could clean up the little lake that has formed by my garage door (and inside my garage) after heavy rain. When I read about the Zoeller drain pump, I was skeptical. but ordered. It really is an almost complete kit, containing a sump and sump pump, as well as a check valve, a couple of PVC…

Took hours to install under the sink of our finished basement. The most time consuming part is due to the fact that we are new to the plumbing industry. It took us 3 trips to the hardware store to get all the parts right. We took the lid and instructions and it helped. Additional trips were only necessary to troubleshoot problems with our existing installation. That being said, really the hardest part, as others have mentioned, was getting an even seal between the lid and the sink. The KEY is…
