Product Questions Answered by Jim, the Sump Pump Expert
Do you still need to drill an air relief hole in your pipe if this pump has an air relief hole?
Greg L.

Jim, how can I prevent water and sand from settling below my beach house? Would this pump work, and also be one that can handle the sand that comes in mixed with water? The beach house we purchased sits on stilts with all concrete drive-thru underneath. The house sits lower than both the street in front and back. If we get heavy rain in a short amount of time, then a heavy flow of water flows directly underneath our house and directly into the pool. It leaves dirt all across our front yard and underneath our house, both of which are concrete. After a big rain, it is not uncommon for the flow of water coming in to be 2-3" deep. I cut a trench 2' wide X 1.5' deep into the concrete running the width of the house,45' and placed the M53 sump pump at the end. It has a 1.25" Pvc discharge pipe tying into 4" pipe that carries the water into a lake behind our home. The pump pumps up 1.5' then 25'to the 4" drain line. This water rushing into this trench will have sand mixed in. Bottom line, this pump is not moving water out fast enough to keep the water from going under the house and into the pool.

Is there a big difference between the M53 and M98 when it comes to noise and cycle rate? I have about 12 feet to go up from my sump pit, so would the additional hp help it not run as much with the initial float kick on at 9?"

I'm replacing my Zoeller M72 Model with M53. Since M53 have a built in air relief hole do I need to drill a hole into my PVC pipe?

I noticed that the zoeller 1/3hp pump takes 25 amps to start do I need a thirty amp circuit to run a zoeller pump? I have a twenty amp circuit with 12gauge wire for my wayne spf33 1/3 hp pump.

Jim, I currently have a 1/3HP pedestal pump discharging through a 1-1/4" pipe. My pit is 15" across by 24" deep. When it rains, my pit fills up very quickly and the pump goes every 2-3 minutes. I want to replace it and was looking at this pump because my existing one is old and noisy. My concern is that it will be going off even more often if I change to a submersible style pump because it sits lower in the pit. Will that be the case? I don't want it to have to run more often then it does now.

My Zoller pump has a threaded female connector on the body. What am I expected to put between the pump body and the bottom clamp of this check valve?

I plan to replace a non working Zoeller M53 in a recently purchased house with a new Zoeller M53. Two questions: 1) the current set up uses 1 inch PVC discharge pipes - up about 8 feet and then horizontal for another 15 feet until exiting the house. Is the 1 inch pipe OK, or is it necessary to change to 1 1/2 inch pipes? 2) what is the recommended location for the new check valve? I was planning to go about half way up the vertical pipe. Thanks, Jim

I am thinking of buying the Zoeller M53 - 1/3 HP Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump w/ Vertical Float Switch. But I was wondering does this need more than a 15 amp outlet, due to start up amps?

Installing an underground sump pump to drain water coming under the house. Was thinking about ordering the following kit, but I am not sure if the basin is the correct one for a sump pump or if we should switch it to something bigger.

I have a M53-D Zoeller pump that is about 10yrs old.I was told by my home builder that it was rated to pump vertical up to 10ft.is this true?I have miss placed my owners manual and now the switch is bad so that the pump runs constant till it over heats,is that do to pumping vertical for 10yrs out of my basement for a washer?By the way it has been a great pump and will never own anything but a Zoeller for the rest of my time.Thank you.

Should the switch compartment of the M53 remain above the waterline or be watertight, because when i opened to determine if i should replace the switch a lot of water came out. All the terminals are corroded so it's been running like this for some time. I'd prefer to bypass the switch altogether but not if the compartment can't be sealed properly.

I have a Zoeller M53 1/3 hp sump pump. It is at least 7 years old. I think older. It has been running well, but now it will not come on. the float is free and clear, but will not kick on unless i just tap the arm. The the pump works fine. I have cleaned the pump, well and float. Do I have to replace the pump?

Is any maintenance required on the M53 pump? I see there are two white plugs on the pump and I'm wondering if oil needs to checked or added periodically or any other type of maintenance is needed.

I am getting a portable generator and want to include my zoeller m53-d pump to be one of the items supported by the generator. What kind of draw (startup and normal operation) should I include in my calculations for sizing the generator. Note, in hurricane Irene my pump was going off every minute.

I purchased a home with a zoeller sump pump already installed in the basement. Is there any way for me to tell whether it is a 1/3 or 1/2 hp model? I need to buy a generator, so I'm trying to determine what size. Thanks

I installed the Zoeller M53 with the recommended 1 1/2" Zoeller check valve. I mounted the check valve about 5' above the base of the pump, about 2 1/2' above the check valve the pipe makes a 90 degree turn. All is operating well - Leading up to a question, I think I am getting some water hammer. The pump starts smooth but when it switches off it rattles the pipes. Any suggestions? I installed according to directions.

I have a Zoeller M53 in a basement sump 24 in. deep. the pump rests on the bottom and the float activates Approx. every hour for maybe 5 seconds max. Can i raise the pump in the sump 6 inches or so and therefore pump more water per cycle. Thereby cycling only maybe only every two hours. If I raise it 6 in. the water table would still be approx. 8 in. below underside of concrete floor when the float activates. This pump is approx 7 years old, seems to work fine , do I need to consider replacing and with what. Located in NW Ohio and water table is fairly high.

I am torn between which Zoeller pump would be best for my application. My basement is 104' and currently takes in approximately 3" of water when there is a hard rain. The water is only on one side of the basement and never comes up on the other. Would you recommend a 1/3 hp or 1/2?

I purchased a super-sump 1/3 hp Zoellar cast iron pump last July. I would like to buy a generator to run that sump pump plus my icebox which takes 6.5 amps/115 volts. What size generator would I need to run both of these during a storm? Thank you.

Hi there, I'm planning on using this pump and a Jackel sump basin ( or something like that) to move water from a "lake" in my diveway, about 50' horizontally to a flower bed. How far will this pump move the water? No head, actually probably a foot or two lower. I'll be using 1.25" PVC terminating in some sort of perforated drain pipe... HELP!!

I have a Zoeller submersible sump pump don't no the model but it has a 9 foot cord, is it a m53? I found it running with no water in the pit,unplugged it and moved the float up and down a few times and plugged it back in, and it is working okay now. The pump is about 6 years old, should i replace it or is there something else i can do. Sort of worried it might fail and flood the basement.

the pump is not turning off. Is the switch stuck? Can it be replaced? I gave it a good rap, but to no avail. The zoeller M53 unit is approximately 3 years old.
