Q: My water softener wash tube discharges into my sump pit. Will the Storm Pro BA Series Pump hold up to the salt water in the pit? by Jim T from Ohio on January 29, 2014
A: The StormPro pumps are actually one of the few pumps that we offer that are designed for saltwater, so you should be fine! by Jim, Product Expert
Q: What does min. sump basin size mean? by John D from Massachusetts on February 02, 2013
A: The minimum sump basin size relates to the minimum size of your sump basin or pit, that a specific pump will safely operate in. Any pump needs a certain amount of space due to "on/off" levels, cooling factors and cycling that the pump is designed for. Most pumps will require a standard size basin of 18" wide by 24" deep but some will also operate in smaller basins. You want to pay very close attention to these requirements as they will insure a longer pump life. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I would like to know how many watts a 1/3 or 1/2 hp sump pump has, because i was think of buying a portable generator in case the power goes off. by Tom B. from New York on September 03, 2012
A: That really depends on the pump. Some are more efficient than others. For example, the 1/3HP Basement Watchdog model BW1033 has a running amp rating of 3.5 and a starting amp rating of 7. When you figure the watts by the formula of amps times volts equals watts ( A X V = W), you get 420 running watts and 840 starting watts. But when you look at the Zoeller 1/3HP model M53, that pump has a running amp rating of 9.6 and a starting amp rating of 29.6 or 1152 running watts and 3552 starting watts. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I understand that the BA-33M has a switch differential of 6-1/2 inches. Can I modify it with a longer rod to increase that differential and thus further cycling? by Ben from Ohio on June 27, 2012
A: Unfortunately, there is no way to modify that switch. If you are looking for a way to increase the run time of the pump, you might consider changing to a TETHER float or the Pro Series Ultimate Sensor Pump Controller System model USC3. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I don't know which model sump pump to purchase or which model is appropriate for my home. How do I go about doing that? by Harry from Illinois on May 20, 2012
A: If you are replacing a sump pump and the pump has performed well for you in the past, it's best to replace it with a pump that matches the horsepower and/or gallons per hour rating as close as possible. If that information is unknown and the original pump's brand and model number is still visible on the pump, you can always look it up on the internet or call us for more help. If no information is available, an average sized home in a typical water table can usually use a 1/3HP - 1/2HP sump pump. Submersible sump pumps are more popular and will usually run quieter and last longer than pedestal sump pumps. You can also click HERE for more information on how to pick the perfect sump pump. If you have additional questions, please let me know or give me a call. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Is stormpro and sumpro made by the same company? Is your site says not made in the USA for stormpro, where is it made? by Dan from Indiana on May 05, 2012
A: Yes, StormPro and SUMPRO are made by the same company and are probably considered one of the better quality brands that we offer. And like many of the pumps available, they are manucatured in China. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: When setting the switch off point, how much of the pump (Storm Pro 33) should remain permanently submerged? by Ted from Indiana on April 17, 2012
A: For a typical sump application, you should try to keep the bottom portion of the pump submerged at all times. With this switch having a 6 1/2" differential, even if you set the switch at a minimal height, you will have water in the bottom portion of your basin on a regular basis, which is normal. For a continuous duty applications, the pump MUST always be at least 3/4 submerged at all times. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Can it pump water 16 feet high? by Paul from Ohio on February 17, 2012
A: Yes, the StormPro model BA-33M actually has the capacity to pump to a maximum of 25 feet. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Is the Storm Pro Ba33m 1/3 HP UL inspected? by Gregory Speicher from Pennsylvania on January 28, 2012
A: No they are not, but they do carry the CSA certification.
CSA International (Canadian Standards Association), a member of the CSA Group, is a provider of product testing and certification services for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, gas and a variety of other products. Recognized in the U.S., Canada and around the world, CSA’s marks appear on billions of products worldwide.
CSA International certification marks indicate that a product, process or service has been tested to a Canadian or U.S. standard and it meets the requirements of an applicable CSA standard or another recognized document used as a basis for certification. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Re: the Storm Pro BA-33M 1/3 HP. Ok, I cannot visualize the set up for this pump. It looks like the cord goes under water and that does not look safe at all for a sump pump! I have a tub to line the hole it goes into and do you put both units under water? Or below the floor line and eventual water? by Richard Neva from New York on January 16, 2012
A: The pump will sit on a level surface on the bottom of your basin and the vertical float switch will clamp onto your discharge pipe at the height you determine. The vertical float switch does have a differential of 6 1/2". The power cord for the vertical float switch will be plugged into your 120 volt, 15 amp GFCI rated dedicated circuit. Please note that the plug for the vertical float switch is a "piggyback" style plug, just like the plugs on Christmas tree lights that allow you to "string" multiple lines together. The power cord from the pump will then be plugged into the back of the plug from the vertical float switch. The only portion of the cords that are in contact with any water is the portion that is connected to the pump and switch which is normal. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Are pump and switch available with 15' or 20' cords? by Tim Walsh from California on December 21, 2011
A: The float switch is available with a 20 foot cord for $64.99 but there is no option for the pump. Another option would be the 1/2HP model BA-50M that comes with a standard 20 foot cord on both the pump and switch. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I was concerned that as often as our pump works I should have a replacement pump in case the primary fails and an alarm if the power goes out. i was thinking of a pump that is more quiet and then using our old one as a backup. i'm not sure if I like the idea of a battery backup. any suggestions? by Ells Snyder from Maryland on December 10, 2011
A: A backup is never a bad idea as long as you're home when and if "the" event takes place. A BATTERY BACKUP System would be good insurance and would help ease your fears of having some pumping capability should you be away from home when a severe storm hits. Most systems will give you approximately 7 hours of continuous runtime or 24 - 48 hours of non-continuous runtime. The other consideration would be a STANDBY GENERATOR. This option would also give you peace of mind for your pump, refrigerator, heating or cooling, garage door and security system. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I recently purchased a BA-33 sump pump. Is it necessary to drill a hole in the bottom of the discharge pipe? Also how do I install the switch on the discharge pipe to maximize the run cycle? Is it adjustable? Finally- is it OK to go from 1 1/2" ABS pipe comming out of the discharge fitting to 1 1/4" id black plastic where it exits the house [about 7' above the pump] The 1 1/4" black plastic carries the water along and away from the foundation with a steady pitch for approx 30'. by John Szafranski from Massachusetts on October 29, 2011
A: It's always recommended to drill the "weep" hole approximately 4" above the base of the discharge to help prevent air lock. The vertical switch is adjustable in that it actually clamps onto the discharge pipe at any height you wish. The differential on that switch is 6 1/2" and that is not adjustable. As for reducing the discharge from 1 1/2" to 1 1/4", that should not be a problem. You will however realixe a slight loss in your gallons per hour (GPH) rating. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I recently purchased Stormpro BA-33M. I did not get the check valve. I picked up a check valve at a local plumbing outlet. The pump would not work at all with the valve installed, i have installed several of these and was careful to install the valve with the direction correct. I installed the pump without the check valve and it seems to work fine. Will this affect the life of the pump, or cause any problems? It has about a 10 ft. vertical lift and simply drains off into a ditch. Thanks. by Mark Ramsey from Tennessee on June 21, 2011
A: Have you double checked the following possible causes of your problem?
● Check valve is installed backwards. Arrow on valve should point in direction of flow.(Usually pointing up) ● Discharge shut-off valve (if used) may be closed. ● Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove pump and clean. ● Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check for clogged vent hole in pump case. Drill a 1/8”inch hole into PVC Pipe 4” inches above the pumps discharge. ● Inlet holes in pump base are clogged. Remove pump and clean the openings. ● Vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce distance or change the discharge fittings of the pump.
If you're sure none of these possibilities are causing the problem, I would suggest calling StormPro tech support at (800) 323-1665 x231 for further assistance. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Jim, Researching sump pumps and leaning towards the purchase of a StormPro BA33 with adjustable height switch. (good reviews) My question is can I purchase an additional switch for my secondary pump? I'm not sure what the model number is and the cost involved. Also, during my wet season, this pump will actuate every couple of minutes. I'm concern over how long the switch lasts! What do you recomend? Several of my pumps have failed due to the switch! Thank you in advance for your help. Joe by Joe Muscatello from Connecticut on June 06, 2011
A: If your secondary pump utilizes a "piggyback" style float switch, then you could replace the switch with no problem. Click HERE for a listing of switches that we offer.
It is very typical for a switch to fail before the actual pump however, sometimes it's just a case of debris in your sump basin getting lodged in your switch. If you determine the switch to be bad, it's then just a matter of locating the correct switch. If the switch is built into the housing of the pump, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the pump and provide the model numper of your pump to see if the switch is available and how involved the replacement would be. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Hi Jim, I just bought a StomPro BA 33M sump pump.I would like for it to go "ON"at 9 or 9.5 inches.Where on the discharge pipe "height" in relation to the pump body do I attach adjustable switch? At contact pt with float at top,midway of pump body? Thanks so much,Marvin by Marvin Yowe from New York on May 11, 2011
A: Attach your switch to the discharge pipe and set it so the bottom of the vertical float rod housing is at 9 or 9 1/2" from the base of your sump basin. As the float rises, once it reaches the top of the float rod, the pump will switch on. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Hello Jim,
I have an old Zoeller sump pump that does not seem to be able to keep up with demand (possibly overheating). I have an 18" diameter by 18" deep hole and I would estimate during peak rain periods a need for a pump to remove up to 36 gallons per minute. This pump seems to be able to do 50 gallons per minute. Is the 1/3 HP StormPro a good choice or should I go to the Simer 3995 I'm considering? I can't determine the current horsepower on my Zoeller... by David Marshall from Indiana on April 22, 2011
A: Either pump will do the job for you as they are both rated for continuous duty and will not overheat, however, you should try to match the GPH and/or HP of your current pump as best you can. Installing a pump that's too powerful will only result in the pump cycling too often and shortening the life of the pump. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Hi Jim i have a single sump pump that is only in a 2x4 foot rectangle that they left out of the concrete when they built my house . it is open to the air and water is always about 6 inches below the surface. I have a single sump in there now that keeps it from entering the basement and there is a low spot that has another pump that sits on the surface and routes its water to the primary. I wanted to enclose the pump and also get something powerful enough to keep that water lever down. i also donot want to be fighting the water table if that is the issue. ( it is very high) what kind of pump , enclosure , and system would you recommend...thank you , Jason by Jason Craig from Massachusetts on April 17, 2011
A: Typically, I would recommend a Zoeller or ION 1/3 HP submersible pump and have it installed in a Sump Basin and include the Cover. Due to the high water table, you might check with a local plumber to verify if a 1/3HP would be sufficient. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Jim, To take advantage of a deep sump pit and reduce the number of run cycles. Which pump would you recommend that has the greatest on/off differential?
Thanks, Dan by Dan Fenstermaker from Minnesota on April 05, 2011
A: Most pumps that include a tether switch tend to have a longer run or pump time which will reduce the number of run cycles. The tether switches can also be adjusted to lenghten or shorten the pumping time or differential. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: i have a truck well that gets water, leaves and a small amount of other junk. i am in florida and the wet season can cause a mess i need a heavy duty pump
by F. T. ESPOSITO from Florida on March 31, 2011
A: I would suggest a sewage pump, most likley a 1/2HP. It would handle the leaves and small debris up to 2 inches. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Jim, What is considered continuous duty applications. My present pump can be on in as little as 1 min intervals. Has operated for several years as such. A True Value Master Mechanic pump. Afraid will one day quit. Reason for shopping for replacement. by Roger L Kopshina Sr from Pennsylvania on March 06, 2011
A: A continous duty rated pump is exactly what the name implies. The pump is capable of running continously, non stop, as the StormPro pump will do. If you need, you can unplug the piggyback switch and plug the pump directly into your outlet in the case you have an emense amount of water to discharge. Most pumps will cycle on and off in a normal operating process. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: How does the sump pump connect to the independent float switch, Does the pump plug into the switch and the switch plugs into the power? by Mark from New Jersey on February 09, 2011
A: Yes, most external float switches utilize this design. It's consider a "Piggyback" style plug. Very similar to how sets of Christmas lights connect to each other. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Would this pump be suitable for a 12' x 12' basement? by Cody Dix from Ohio on January 10, 2011
A: The interior dimensions of a basement aren't a major factor in sizing a sump pump correctly.
Monitoring your current pump during normal operation and during a storm can give you a better idea of what size pump you would need. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Hi Jim. I know the float can be attached to discharge line. I'm wondering what the maximum On/Off points are. Looking to figure out how many inches of water will be pumped out per cycle. Thanks. by Charlie from New York on January 05, 2011
If you’re looking for a heavy-duty pump, choose a iON. These pumps were originally sold only by plumbers, contractors and plumbing distributors. Now you have the opportunity to buy what the professionals do.
These pumps are built to last, bottom line. With a volute and motor housing made of cast iron and stainless steel, they will provide years of reliable operation. They also use a cast iron impeller which extends the life of the pump even longer.

iON pumps use high efficiency motors that cost less to operate and discharge more water than standard pumps. If you don’t believe it, compare similar HP pumps to these and you’ll see for yourself that these pumps use fewer amps to operate and provide a higher output.
The last reason why these pumps earns our "Good" recommendation is because of the float switch. They are adjustable and can be mounted on the discharge pipe. This is a great feature if you have a deep sump pit or if you live in an area with a high water table. You can increase the amount of time between cycles and extend the life of your pump. Last, but not least, since these pumps use a piggyback type switch, they can be replaced if necessary without having to replace the pump.

A True Workhorse Providing Peace Of Mind
I purchased this pump in May of 2015, and since installation it has been a true workhorse. The crawl space is constantly filling with ground water due to an extremely high water table, so for 22 months this has been a constant-demand pump, operating several times an hour.
Installation was easy, I have it discharging into a 2" to 1" PVC drain system with a minimum flow valve/vent.
The pump has run through two sub-freezing winters with no issues, even when the discharge piping froze, the min flow valve protects it and the pump was able to force the outside PVC apart to allow a flow path (it's designed to do that).
This coming summer I will pull the pump and clean all the parts, the residue buildup from the ground water is fairly significant.

Will try to keep this short. Purchased the Ion pump approximately 6 months ago. I can now give a review for this product. Only real world testing after many cycles in my basement would allow for a thumbs up or down. This pump is impressive. One positive aspect of this pump is low amp draw. Connecting this pump to an inverter and two batteries gives a great deal of capacity if/when the power goes off. Thumbs up! That was very short for me.
Pros:Quiet, High Quality, I'd Buy It Again, Exceeded Expectations

Small Powerful Pump
This is a quiet, powerful, lightweight pump that is working in a high water area that has need for frequent cycles. Fits well in a small pit with backup pump.
I got tired of replacing those cheap sump pumps ever 2 years I bought at the home stores...The iOn 1/3 Hp is one Great pump! small, powerful, quiet. The current one is still running strong after 6 years when the float switch started not to function and would stick on occasion. So I decided to replace the switch and pump. I will still keep the old one as a backup for grins. I got my moneys worth and more.
Pros:Quiet, High Quality, Exceeded Expectations, Reliable

"I recommend ordering from Sump Pumps Direct to all my friends."
Bought this back in 2011 and it began having problems today just a couple months shy of 5 years. In that time we have had about 3 of the wettest years on record. This pump has delivered and delivered again. We would get what we call down South, a "gully washer," several inches of rain in a short period of time. This pump has kept our basement dry and never seemed to even struggle.
This morning I could tell it was sounding a little different than usual. I went down to discover that the float was not shutting the pump off as it normally had been. The pump was running about a minute after it should shut down. Technically speaking the pump is still good but the float switch is going bad. I ordered the exact same pump again today. 5 years is good service for the money.

One Design Flaw
The pump seems reasonably heavy duty and seems to work well so far. I bought this model specifically for the adjustable float switch that is to be mounted on the discharge pipe. Unfortunately, although you can set the mounting height for the switch on the pipe, you cannot set the draw down amount. The float maximum / minimum is permanently set to about a 6 or 7 inch on/off differential. There is no way to extend the rod or move the switch actuators. I would prefer to be able to extend this so that I could have a longer cycle and less off / on stress.

William,
A 6-Inch to 7-Inch On/Off differential it common on almost all vertical float switches used for residential applications in an 18-Inch diameter pit.
This is a fairly impressive pump. It's very quiet compared to other pumps I've had and very fast. There's just a slight hum sound that's inaudible unless you're right next to it listening and the water of the sump pit goes right down in about 4 seconds flat. I'm surprised it only draws 4.5 amps as it seems very powerful for a 1/3 HP unit.
There are several variation of this pump. 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4HP.
I have the 1/3 HP model BA-33M rated for 3000 GPH at 10ft of lift. The M in the model number means it has the external SPI type vertical float switch that mounts on the 1.5" PVC outlet pipe. Having the float switch attach to the outlet pipe instead of on the pump body works well since that allows a sturdy mounting point that's infinitely adjustable up or down as needed. Most other pumps have a fixed position float switch that is not as useful.
The similar 1/3HP model BA-33V has an "SJ" style switch mounted directly on the pump body. The BA-33M model has more options since the switch is adjustable but other than that the specs are the same on both models.
The bottom inlet screen, main body and fasteners are stainless steel while the thick, heavy duty carry handle at the top works very well for lowering the pump into the sump pit.
If your pump or pipes bang when it shuts off try adding a Campbell 1.5" Quietsump Chk Valve B-0823-15C. That solves the pipe noise completely..
I also use a Ford 1.5" radiator hose as a vibration isolator between the check valve and where the PVC pipe bracket mounts to the basement studs. It's a Gates # 20957 hose. That may be unconventional but radiator hoses are super tough, last forever, and work great at cutting down vibration transmission from the sump pump to the building framing. Sorry I got off track there but that rubber hose vibration trick works really good. With the Storm Pro pump and a quiet check valve we hardly need the isolation hose anymore but it was a lifesaver back when we first got setup and the pump banged loudly throughout the night. That's all fixed now with improved drainage, routing rain gutter downspouts away from the house, regrading the yard and quiet pumps with quiet check valves.
The 3 year year warranty is good but be aware that the fine print included with the pump says it's "3 years from date of manufacture" NOT from when you bought it.
That could reduce the warranty period quite a bit and you can't tell when it will expire. Maybe if we all call them they will fix that.
Note that some places sell the StormPro pump at much lower prices without any float switch at all. So be careful of that if you need automatic operation.
I considered a Zoeller pump but they all draw 9 amps or more and up to 29 amps on startup. That's why Zoeller switches go out sometimes.
Meanwhile the efficient models that draw 5 amps like the StormPro 1/3HP or Wayne EE980 allow the pump switch to last a lot longer.
The only drawback I see of the storm pro (other than price) is that it's so fast that the water going out through the pipes now goes "Kaa Woosh!" in a blast of water. That's a new sound since the Superior pump we had before wasn't nearly so fast and we didn't hear the water going out. Now there's just a single KaaWoosh sound audible upstairs as the pit empties in a couple seconds.
Fortunately there's no humming or motor noise so overall we're pleased with the quiet, fast operation of this pump.

"Even the free shipping was really fast. just 1 day. That was very impressive. Order and shipping confirmation Emails were sent promptly as well. Didn't do any returns or calls so don't know how that goes but so far no issues."
I've had this pump/switch combination installed since Nov 2013. Since that time, there have been 4 weather 'events' which caused the pump to operate (normally the sump is bone dry, but when it needs to pump, it will pump for 2-5 days). The operation of the pump is monitored by a home automation computer.
Total pump/switch actuations =
8605 in 4 events over 17 days
Total pump running time =
15.86 Hours
Total estimated discharge volume =
42,700 Gallons
On the heaviest day the pump/switch activated 2097 times, roughly every 40 seconds.
The ability to locate the switch allowed increasing the working level in the sump pit a pump with an attached float switch would have had an even higher actuation rate.

Been living in my house now for 42 years, many NorEasters, hurricanes and at least 6-8 sump pumps later (lost count). Have had many different brands but the StormPro has been the best by far.
Not only is it powerful, it is soooo quiet. I can hardly hear it even when I'm in the basement. The separate adjustable float gives an additional few inches to draw down so it comes on somewhat less frequently.
It was installed in 2010, then back in January 2014 I went away for a week. When I got home, I found one of the clamps on the sump pump holding it to the discharge pipe had a screw rust out, the clamp let go and the pipe shifted. As it did, it pushed the float over just enough so that when it came on, the float got caught up against the rough cement wall of the sump and did not lower enough to shut off.
Apparently it had been running for...well, I don't know... hours or maybe days. But it was still running. After taking it out and reassembling the setup with new clamps, I plugged it back in and it was up and working as usual. However I had no idea how much the motor was strained by the extended run without being under water. So, I was not going to take any chances and ordered another one to keep on hand for the inevitable failure.
Well, it's now May, 2015 and the new one is still in it's box.
