Q: is the zoeller 1.5 slip on check valve a full 1.5 inch or 1.25 and 1.5 inch by Anthony L from New York on December 31, 2011
A: The Zoeller model 30-0180 check valve actually has an inlet and outlet diameter to 1 3/8" but will slip and clamp onto a 1 1/2" diameter PVC discharge pipe. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Where on the line is the best location for the check valve, close to the pump is better? by CJ from Iowa on February 20, 2011
A: Half way between the bottom of the pit to where it exits the home.
Q: How important is having a check valve and how often should they be replaced? We bought a house in 04 and we have had the same check valve since we moved in. Don't know how old it is. by Jon Nickol from Ohio on January 06, 2011
A: A check valve is extremely important any time water is being lifted vertically. It prevents water from flowing back into the sump pit.
I would suggest listening to the valve when the sump pump is running. If you hear water flowing back down after the pump has cycled, it would be best to replace.
A faulty check valve causes your sump pump to work harder because it keeps pumping a portion of the same water.
To make things simple, if you're replacing your sump pump, replace your check valve too, or at least keep a spare on hand. by Jim, Product Expert

Although we have not yet had any significant rainfall, the Zoeller M53 works quietly, and reliably, and the Zoeller Brand provides me a comfort level and a good deal of confidence that it will take care of the problem.

Little Giant 1/2HP Sump Pump SC50V
Purchased a 10 year old house 5 months ago and needed a new sump pump to replace the 10 year old sump pump. The old sump pump still worked but it was under-powered and the warranty had expired 8 years ago. I purchased a Little Giant 1/2HP SC50V with vertical float from Sumppumpsdirect.com to replace the old 1/3HP Ace Hardware sump pump and couldn't be happier.
It is much, much quieter and much faster than the old sump pump. I also purchased a Zoeller 1 1/2" horizontal check valve at the same time that I purchased the new sump pump because my old sump pump system did not have a check valve installed and when the sump pump would shut off all the standing water in the vertical pipe above the sump pump that the sump pump had just pumped out of the pit would rush back down the pipe and back into the sump pit. Now, once the water is pumped out of the pit it is gone forever.
My local hardware store did not have either of these items in stock so after searching online for the best prices I found the best deal right here. Shipping was free on the sump pump but I had to pay shipping on the check valve. Shipping was super-fast and had both items in three days.

Surpassed All Expectations
My basement has two sumps...one for groundwater and one for greywater from the utility sink/floor drain. Well, the latter hasn't had a working float in months, and so between wash loads I had to manually plug/unplug the pump to drain the sump pit. Well, I think after a while of having too much standing water in there, it caused a smell, and my wife had enough. I browsed around online, found your website, and then noticed that you're local! I drove down to the showroom after work, told your guy what I wanted, and within a few minutes I was on the road. Just a tip: you should really have sections of 1-1/2 pipe, male fittings and pipe primer/cement available for sale. I would have paid a premium to buy that stuff and not have to make a separate trip to the hardware store.
Anyway, got the gear home, followed the simple instructions, and had the new pump in and running within an hour. The old pump was a WAYNE, and I'm not sure how old it was. Pretty sure the check valve was last replaced in 1988... The new pump is MUCH quieter...can't even hear it run over the sound of the washing machine. And the valve shuts without the bang we had grown so accustomed to. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Thanks again!

Upgraded from Zoeller 1/3 HP
My Zoeller M53 was 4 years old, and performing faithfully. However, during several severe storms, my sump filled so fast that the M53's 34 gpm (at 10 feet head) was barely enough to get the job done. Moreover, by the end of 4 years, I estimated that the switch had been cycled about 300,000 times. Because Sump Pumps Direct provides such thorough comparison specs, I was able to analyze how the higher capacity M98 would improve my situation. The M98 on-off difference is 6.5 inches, which in an 18 inch diameter sump amounts to about 6 gallons
(See http:www.sciencemadesimple.comvolume_conversion.php to do the calculation -- allowing for pump displacement, one vertical inch in an 18-inch sump amounts to about 220 cubic inches or about one gallon).
By comparison the M53 on-off difference of 4.25 inches amounts to about 4 gallons.
The M98 is able to expel over 6 gallons faster than the M53 can expel only 4 gallons. For the same sump inflow volume, this amounts to a 1/3 reduction in the number of on-off cycles with no increase in amps, according to the comparison specs. My new Zoeller arrived in only 2 days with free shipping. I installed the M98 and it has begun its chores. If all goes well, I will do another precautionary replacement in 2016. Thanks, Sump Pumps Direct for a thorough, informative web site.

We needed a Pump to replace a Home Depot model that only lasted two years at our church. I love Zoeller pumps and have used several over the years in different homes. Pump was delivered promptly, and works even better then we anticipated.

GREAT PUMP!!!!
The Zoeller came very to my house very fast. It was very easy to install and I was glad to see that I needed to drill a 316 hole in the pvc pipe so that water would run down back into the pit. At first I drilled the hole at a 90 degree angle and when the pump was operating, the stream of water hit the side of the pit and splashed out. I made a hole slope downward and now the stream just goes into the pit. The sump pump is very quick and strong and quiet as well!!! I'm glad that I installed it when I did because Hurricane Irene came the following week and had I not installed it, I would have had a wet and flooded basement. I would highly recommend this sump pump to everyone!!!

YOU CAN'T BEAT A ZOELLER!
Zoeller sump pumps are by far the best sump pumps Ive ever owned! Proudly Made in the USA! The M98s that I own are very reliable even after 2 years of daily use at my home, now the new 3rd one I just got (M53) is working daily also as my new 6 tier wine barrel waterfall pump, it has no problem keeping the water flow just right to make my water fall the talk of the block! Thanks Sump Pump Direct!

No Complaints
I had a pedestal pump for years. I am very pleased with the BA-33M. It was easy to install. It is very quite and the capacity is great.
No complaints. I am glad I took the tip and drilled an air hole.

Excellent Service For Excellent Products!
We very recently replaced our Zoeller M98 with a new one of the same model as we felt after 7 years we changed it as a precaution, however the older model was doing a great job. We decided to replace it and we installed the new Zoeller 507 back up Sump Pump.
Jim O. was fabulous in guiding us through the process and was very, very informative in explaining every detail to me, a female who is mechanically challenged.
We have a lot of rain tho' no electrical outage at this time. Product was tested and we are so pleased to work with Sump Pumsp Direct and really appreciated the professionalism as well as expertise. Yep! I talked to Jim more than seven times and he may remember my name as I called him with every question under the sun as my husband was working abroad and it was a great new experience for me.
Hooray for companies like yours with integrity, trustworthy and having Jim O as their expert!! Will pass on the successful outcome to others.
Thank you so very much!

Very Pleased
The unit arrived in a very timely manner. I was not aware that the PVC fittings came with the unit as well. It's just as the picture shown on the web site. So that save's a trip to the hardware store. Very easy to install, and it works like a champ.
