by Gregory Speicher from Pennsylvania on January 28, 2012

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.

Q: What is the height and width of this unit?
by Walter from California on October 08, 2011

A: The dimensions are 9.1L x 6.3W x 13.8H.

Q: I need to upgrade my pumping capacity - current sump pump (approx. 2400 GPH @ 10ft) was overwhelmed last season. I am looking at the StormPro 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP pumps. I currently have 1 1/2" piping and wondered if you could tell me what the actual GPH on both of these StormPro pumps would be if I use a 2" to 1 1/2" adaptor at the base of discharge and is this adaptor provided with these pumps? Thanks!
by Rob from Wisconsin on April 14, 2011

A: The StormPro BA-33M 1/3HP pump will do 3000 GPH @ 10 feet and the model BA-50M 1/2HP pump will do 4200 GPH @ 10 feet. I wouldn't think you should need to increase your pumping capacity any more than that. Typically, if your current pump is not keeping up with the incoming water, you should only increase the HP by one size. As for the pumping capacity when reducing the 1/2HP BA-50M down to 1 1/2" discharge, you might try calling StormPro at (800) 323-1665 x231. Another option would be to add a BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM. Most systems will activate should the water level in you pit rise to the level of the backup systems float switch to assist your primary pump and add extra pumping capacity if needed.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: I have the StormPro 1/3hp pump and want to upgrade to the 1/2hp. My discharge pipes are 1.5 inches now. Will I have to change the discharge pipe to 2 inch or is there a way to make this work without changing all my piping?
by Bob from Massachusetts on April 06, 2011

A: You can use a 2" to 1 1/2" adapter at the base of the discharge. It will reduce your GPH, but not drastically. Also, keep in mind that there is usually no reason to upgrade just for the sake of it unless your present pump is having difficulty keeping up with the incoming water. Bigger is not always better.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: What does "manual override" on the float switch mean? I have a 110 volt receptacle that is controlled by a float. Will this pump work with that receptacle?
by Bob from Michigan on February 12, 2011

A: Manual override means that the pump can be used without the float switch. It's basically a utility type pump that has independent float switch. They are two separate pieces. The pump should be able to work with that receptacle.

The switch that is included is has a piggyback style plug, like Christmas lights.
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: 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

A: The on/off differential for the float switch is about 6.5".

Sump Pumps Direct Recommended
Jim's Recommendation

If you’re looking for a heavy-duty pump, choose a StormPro. 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.

StormPro 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 we recommend these pumps 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.

StormPro 1/3 HP Sump Pump

The pump works great as expected. I really like the switch that mounts to the PVC pipe, so much more adjustability. Has only been in use for about a week so far so good.

SO FAR SO GOOD

While my Rigid 1/2 HP submersible pump is still working, I decided to keep it as a spare pump. We have a high water table here in MI and this pump doesn't have any adjustment on the vertical float. I have removed and replaced one of the Rigid Pumps already as it lasted only 2 years. Didn't do my homework as I found out they are notorious for failing switches.

Did alot of research and I believe the StormPro is one of the best out there. The pump arrived in just a few days. I installed it and noticed right away how quiet and quickly it emptied the basin. The piggy-back adjustable... more

Good Product/Bad Advice

SPD Responds: While we would like to give as much advice as possible about installing sump/sewage basins, it is very difficult because of the complexity of the install. Installing these basins (which normally include a french drain or drain tile system for maximum water removal) is on the far end of a "DIY" project. Installing a basin incorrectly can cause serious foundation or structural damage to your home. If you're unfamiliar with the installation process, it's always best to contact a licensed plumber.

The sump pump is exceptionally quiet and efficient. The cove... more

Everything I Thought It Would Be

Received my StormPro sump pump as promised. It was easy to install and worked as I expected. My only suggestion is for those who buy this pump is to make sure you make your hole wide enough to allow the float to move freely. Also, if you use a coupler or reducer near the float, make sure the float has room to move freely. Other than those suggestions, there is nothing I can say about the pump except I made the right choice with StormPro.

Sump Pump Review

I bought a BA-50m just before hurricane 2 weksks ago. Set up and it worked just great. I have 100 ft. of hose to discharge water and only 3ft. total lift. It pumps water better than anything I have had in the 47 years I lived here.

I would highly recommend this pump to anyone. I'm glad I got good advice from your service people. I hope we can get wrong discharge hoses resolved.

Functioned Well

Bought two sump pumps for two attached but separate cellars . We live 100 yards from Long Island Sound, in a 100 year old house with poured cellar walls& floor that had Locust Post Support columns, that have since been termite eaten and that have left "weep" holes in foundation floor . Posts have since been replaced by steel columns but "weep holes" left, as the slight seepage, at times of inordinate high tides and hurricanes, are the only times we receive water and the seepage reduces the hydraulic pressure on the foundation .
