Zoeller ProPack53 - 1/3 HP Combination Primary & Backup Sump Pump System

Great piece of mind! Excellent quality, easy to install, and worth the money. Paired with a Radon Dome sump lid, makes this a super clean install.

Our downstairs family room had water come through the block foundation and ruin the carpet and walls. Me and my two sons removed all the furniture and pool table and installed an interior perimeter drain system, we did it in two Saturday's and saved $4000 dollars.

Having never done anything like this before was intimidating, but one of the easiest part was installing the Zoeller propak, after hours on the internet reviewing sites and pumps I chose sump pumps direct. They answered all my questions, and after placing my order online, my pump arrived in 2 days.

After setting the complete pump with a battery back up pump in the basin we had several days of hard rains, the pump kicked on about every 30 min and pumped out in about 5 seconds, amazing pump, and great service.

I wish the primary pump switch had more length, after a moderate rain it cycles every 4-5 minutes. My old unit had about a 15 minute cycle time after a moderate rain. Pump is located in basement under our kitchen table so it is noticeable when it runs. I do like the check valve system much better and the secondary pump has enough hp to pump if the primary pump is off. Overall, I have much more confidence in this set up than I had with my old back up pump system.

Product was received in 2 day from the time that it was ordered and was received in excellent shape. Instruction manual was clear and easy to follow. I installed the pump system myself and it is working fine. AC power went off for 3 hours after system had been installed for 3 days. Everything operated as designed.

The statistics on the controller have been very useful. I am looking forward to many years of quality use from this system.

I replaced an operational, 6 year old 1/3 Hp Zoeller 53 with the ProPack53. The watchdog special backup system I was using failed. The Zoeller Propack is expensive, but the installation was easy. The control unit with the volt reading of the battery is very nice. This unit does not boil or overcharge the battery. Simple interactive read out on display. All pre-assembled parts made the install easy. Every item including the heavy duty wire harness is a serious system made to last.

Took 30 minutes to install. Basically ready to go kit. Would of stepped up to the wifi system if it was more affordable. Zoeller you need to work on that.

We replaced an older model sump pump with this one. It was easy peasy. The kit is completely assembled, so all I had to do was trim the existing drain pipe 3", since this sump pump stood a little taller, and then hook up the wires. By the way, the backup sump is pretty much just supported by the white tubing that they assemble with the kit. If you study the picture closely you can see this in the middle. You see the white tee just behind and coming out to the right of the black float switch and you can see the shiny stainless steal clamp and then it turns to black pipe and then the backup sump. In our particular situation we decided to support this tee-supported sump by putting a small plastic paint pail (from Lowe's) upside down under it (you can see the one of the three black legs there in the very center of the picture). I supposed if your vertical drain pipe is very firm/solid/fixed, maybe you're okay just letting the white tee and stainless clamp carry the weight. It's not real heavy, but in our situation we just felt it needed support underneath.

The sump operates PERFECTLY. Very quiet. Very quick operation. Our old one ran for a long time. This one does a very quick "flush" and it's done.

We have great peace of mind knowing we now have a battery backup sump and a maintenance free battery.

Love it!

Backup for piece of mind.

Was hoping to "upgrade" my current sump to a dual power (electric / battery) . I ordered it online....received it broken in the box. The battery operated pump was broken off where it mounts to the outlet pipe. Hoping I can get this resolved quickly, as this is the first time I've ordered something this expensive online! And, my current sump pump is failing.

It's hard to compare/compete with the quality of Zoeller, the pumps are made to dam near last a lifetime and in my opinion are one of the most dependable out there. Excellent combo unit, easy installation, very strong pump and extremely quiet.

The secondary pump is only supported by the rubber coupling at the base and may appear to be weak taking on the weight of the pump, but if it is installed correctly with the discharge line secured, it's no reason to be concerned.


Dropped it in, adjusted the secondary float due to my height of my inlets, easily installed the electronic control/charger which is small enough to fit anywhere and done.

Strong and silent, made quick work of draining the water from the pit, very happy with the purchase and performance of the unit. No regrets whatsoever, the only thing is I wish the main float could be adjusted.

I had placed the order and the pump arrived like the next day. I installed the pump, which could not have been easier because it came completely assembled and the directions for hooking up the battery charger were easy because the wiring was made up and ready to hook up. I would recommend the Zoeller Pro Pack 53 to anyone in need of a sump pump.
