Just had this installed today after a 5 year old Simer failed in the middle of the night during a 4" rainfall in 24 hours. Thankfully, my backup Basement Watchdog Special was there. The house was built in 2006 and I just bought it this past April.
This ST1050 is a really great product. Much quieter than the Simer that failed most likely due to short cycling time of the Simer. Last night, the Simer would run for 6 seconds, sit for only 9 seconds (heavy rain), and then pump again. It had a non-adjustable float on it attached to the pump.
However, the ST1050, with the adjustable float position is smooth, quiet, and pumps the crock down in short order. When I put it into the standing water in the full crock it didn't balk a bit and pumped it out quickly even with heavy water still coming into it.
I would HIGHLY recommend this sump pump.
