Answer
The Zoeller M53 is and has been a great pump for many years! It is designed to handle a maximum of 15 feet of vertical lift. I have heard of this pumps lasting for 10, 15, 20 and even up to 30 years. Chances are that the switch has failed and needs to be replaced, which is a common occurrence. We do offer the Replacement Mechanical Switch for M53 and the Zoeller Complete Cover Assembly & Switch Kit For M53 Sump Pump. Please note however that the switch requires installation by you or a certified plumber/contractor and ALL SALES ARE FINAL - NO RETURNS ALLOWED ON THIS PRODUCT.

I have an M-53 pump with a bad float switch. The current switch is a 4117J. Would the 4705 switch be a suitable replacement or could you suggest another?

Answer
Yes, the model 4705 would be a good replacement switch for your pump. However, please keep in mind that if the pump is older, the gasket in the switch housing may also need to be replaced. If that's the case, you might be better off with the Complete Cover Assembly & Switch Kit For M98 & M53 Sump Pumps, model 4724. Please note that ALL SALES ARE FINAL - NO RETURNS ALLOWED ON THIS PRODUCT.
