I have had TWO of them Flotech POS! Both FAILED right after warranty time ran out! 2 years! Flooded basement both times! Second time I put in a back up pump just in case! FLOTEC DIED and shorted out the circuit so tripped breaker so other pump could NOT WORK. Away on trip came home to 8 inches of water! Now have second circuit BUT NO FLOTEC JUNK! I Would give it ZERO Stars if let me!

During the recent heavy rainfall and flooding in my area of central PA, the only thing that stood between me and a flooded basement was my sump pump. I decided to get a backup sump pump in case my present one ever fails unexpectedly. This Flotec pump is the same model as the one I currently have which has served me faithfully for about 3 years. Based upon the history of the one I've had, I can tell you that it is very reliable and dependable.

I bought this unit because the sump that I am taking water out of is being filled from alkali soil. The other pumps that I have purchased from this manufacturer have aluminum motor frames that act as a water seal and mechanical support for the thermoplastic pump components. One pump catistrophically failed just outside the 1 year warantee period due to the corrosion of the aluminum in the alkali water.

When I received the unit I discovered that it was really no different than units that were discribed without the designation "thermoplastic." I had to send it back.

Easily assembled, quite powerful. Excellent replacement pump, easily installed, especially in a smaller sump. As for durability, time will tell...
