Product Questions
Answered by Jim, the Sump Pump Expert
How reliable is the magnetic vertical float, and can it be replaced or repaired if it fails in 2-3 years?

This pump requires a 10" diameter basin, but what about depth? Could I use it in a 5 gallon bucket that has an 11 inch diameter, and is 14 inches deep? My window well space is too small for a 22" deep sump basin

Considering making the Liberty model 257 my primary sump pump and then making our existing Zoeller an emergency backup. We have a lot of iron in our water. Would the aluminum model 237 be better or worse for high iron content?
