Q: Is this pump capable of handling water softener and washing machine discharge?
if not, which brand/model can? by Steve K from Wisconsin on June 06, 2013
A: Generally, sump pumps are not recommended for use in a water softener and/or laundry application. Just about all manufacturers will void the warranty if the pump is installed and fails in this application. You might check out our selection of LAUNDRY / DRAIN PUMP SYSTEMS as most of these self contained systems are designed for laundry and water softener applications. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Hi Jim, I'm looking at getting the Superior Pump 92501 - 1/2 HP Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump w/ Tether Float Switch, but not sure how you can adjust the switch setting on these to turn on at different heights. Can you explain? Thanks by Pete from Massachusetts on December 04, 2011
A: With tether floats you have the option of shortening and lengthening the runtime of the pump by simply loosening a clamp on the top of the pump and shortening or lengthening the cord that the float is attached to and then tightening the clamp to keep the cord and float at your desired setting. Make sure the float switch will swing freely from the bottom to top without coming in contact with the side of the sump basin. Contact with the side of the sump basin may cause the switch to malfunction. by Jim, Product Expert
I had already purchased a pump from Sump Pumps Direct when I required another. Based on the previous experience, I was confident that SPD would deliver.
They did indeed, with the pump arriving within 3 days of ordering and the buying experience was as great as the first time.
Don't go anywhere else - Sump Pumps Direct is the place for online buying!
