Q: can this pump run continous 24/7. t be used in a exterior feature by Paul from Illinois on April 30, 2012
A: The Zoeller pumps are not designed to operate continuously. A better option would be the StormPro model BA-50M. While the StormPro pump comes with an adjustable vertical float switch, you can use the pump without the switch. Also, please note that for continuous operation, the pump must be 3/4 submerged at all times. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: 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? by Joe from New Jersey on January 15, 2012
A: Without knowing more specifics like the water table, area of the country you live in, actual square footage of your basement, etc., it really is difficult to answer. I can tell you that most average sized homes in an average water table area can usually get away with a 1/3HP or 1/2HP pump. Beware of over-sizing the pump as it could cause the pump to cycle too frequently thereby reducing the life of the pump. You don't want to just install a 3/4HP or 1HP pump just for the sake of it. by Jim, Product Expert

Level Guard
After talking to several of my friends who are plumbers, the name level guard came up several times. Although my sump pump is new, it had a long range before starting and stopping which made me feel uneasy. The level guard is easy to install and keeps my sump level where I feel is adequate.
