5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy duty, rock solid workhorse, March 18, 2008

By	Zaine Ridling (Missouri, US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

Had this pump for four years in my house and eight years in my businesses  it has never failed yet. Those people who give it bad reviews often don't have a clue to what a sump pump does, and the different types. Zoeller's M53 shares the same dimensions and is nearly identical to the M57. The M53 has a cast iron switch case, motor, and pump housing, a thermoplastic base, and an engineered plastic impeller with metal insert. Like the M57, it can pump 43 gallons (163L)/minute, passes half-inch solids, and shares a 1.5" discharge. Zoeller is the industry standard: don't let anyone tell you differently. It's the brand the professionals use and the plumbers recommend. If you need the extra casing weight and prefer a cast iron impeller, get the M57.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pump, January 8, 2009

By	David W. Safian (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great pump. It replaced a "top of the line" Ridgid pump that started acting up. The Ridgid pump had the "industry leading" electronic switch that would not maintain water level reliabilty. I paid $100 less with the Zoeller and got a better pump.

The nice thing about the Zoeller it that it's the same basic design that has been manufactured for 20+ years. It's tried and true. Replacement parts are readily available at your local plumbing supply store.

As for the reviewer who had the switch fail. It's a mechanical part. It has a rated life. It will fail eventually. As with any mechanical system, it needs regular maintenance. Buy the $20 replacement switch and replace it every 3 years. While you're at it, check and clean the float, inspect the check valve, and make sure the impeller is clear and spinning freely. No sump pump should ever be considered a maintenance-free item.

As for not including an alarm... You can get a $10 water sensor/alarm from just about anywhere. Another common-sense thing to install when you have a basement.

This is a great pump. It isn't exciting like the big box-store sump with a crazy horsepower rating, a high flow rate at 0 feet of head, and fancy newfangled electronic switch. It's a basic pump that performs a specific task reliably. It's the sort of thing you want in your sump crock.
