Red Lion WCV2 - 2" x 2" Heavy Duty Sewage Check Valve

I was almost sold on the Zoeller sump pump when I read that the water intake is located on the bottom of the pump rather than the side (elevated off the bottom of the well). The bottom location allows debris to clog much easier than the side intakes . Also, all sumps must have the switches replaced..unfortunately. I had a Little Giant sump that worked flawlessly for over 10 yrs without ever replacing anything on it. I shopped for another Little Giant 1/2 hp motor...but they are discontinued!
