Zoeller 98 0001 Flow Mate Automatic Submersible Review

Bought this pump in 2013 based on rave reviews. There wasn't a heavy load (meaning there was a lot of rain to keep the pump running) until last week when it rained all day. and when he should have done his duty, he failed. The basement was flooded due to damage. Apparently the quality doesn't match the reviews. For me there is no more Zoller.

Just reading another review (2 Jan 2018) about a capacitor failure on their M98 2HP pump. I bought my pump in January 2015 and it failed in February 2018 - exactly three years, which is also the length of the warranty period. The pump turned off my GFCI output and after trying to get it to work I could smell the capacitor being cooked. I wonder if there was a problem with the processing of these parts at the time? I loved this pump when I first bought it based on the positive reviews, but would

Purchased on the advice of a friend and based on reviews. Bought the original 2 years and 7 months ago. The first served a little over a year, the warranty replacement and the second about the same. I only expected this pumping level to last longer than 15 months. Maybe I'm expecting too much? I can get 2 years on cheap pumps for 70.00 at Lowes.edit: Spoke to the company for a warranty exchange. I was told that they would only guarantee the first pump and that the second pump was out of…

Purchased February 2020. It stopped working after only about six months installed. I removed the bottom cover to diagnose the problem and the rotor works when turned by hand to start it. But otherwise not at all. Just sit and hum. I suspect it's a bearing issue, but I'm no expert. - Guarantee says 3 years. I can try to get it back under warranty but it's very tedious and time consuming so I can just write it off as a bad investment. - - I have already replaced it with another model.

WARNING: When ordering from Revain, Zoeller will not accept a 3 year warranty as it is not purchased from a certified dealer. If you don't care about the 3-year guarantee, then take it. However; our pump failed in less than 1 1/2 years. Revain says there's a guarantee, but you'll need to contact Zoeller directly. Zoeller will ask you to return it to your certified non-Revain Zoeller dealer. Zoeller asked me directly if this was from Revain and he said they don't respect Revain purchases. Just a

Purchased in July 2013. I live in a very low-lying area where there is a lot of rain and runoff. This pump was amazing! It has been running without problems for almost 7 years and has certainly been tested. It rained almost 20 hours out of 24 yesterday. On the radar map, my house was flooded with red! This pump pumped every minute for 16 or 17 hours. I slept like a baby knowing my house will be dry when I wake up in the morning. I'll be buying another one, exactly the same model, because I've…

So far I have bought 2 of these pumps from Revain. The first took about 3 months before the switch stopped working properly. I came home from work and heard him working like a straw sucking water from an empty cup. I have a radon control system so I had to remove the cover and wiggle the float switch until it stopped. Then some time will work, and then again the same problem. Since I absolutely need a drain pump, I bought another one from Amazon, since the Zöller 1/3 horse that came with it has
