Is the Zoeller M95 a new pump?

Is there a big difference between the M53 and M98 when it comes to noise and cycle rate? I have about 12 feet to go up from my sump pit, so would the additional hp help it not run as much with the initial float kick on at 9?"

Jim, could you let me know how much wattage the Zoeller 98 1/2 HP motor uses. As I am considering buying a generator for a few items, including the sump pump?? Thank you, Paul

My Zoller pump has a threaded female connector on the body. What am I expected to put between the pump body and the bottom clamp of this check valve?

Hi Jim, Can I use the Zoeller M98 as an effluent pump. I have seen it listed as a sump/effluent pump elsewhere. I like the Zoeller brand and am looking to use it as a lift pump for a septic tank. Thanks.

Installing an underground sump pump to drain water coming under the house. Was thinking about ordering the following kit, but I am not sure if the basin is the correct one for a sump pump or if we should switch it to something bigger.

I live on a small man made lake and have a walk out basement. Over the years the water table of the lake has risen to the point that the piers of my deck, approximately 100 feet from the water, have raised my deck about 4 inches. I dug a dry well near the house 2 feet deep. This dry well is constantly filled with water to within 6 inches of ground level. The dry well has underground drain tile running out to near the lake. I want to install a sump pump in the well to extract the water and hopefully keep my deck fro rising. Will the M98 be a good pump for this application or should I be looking at a 3/4 or even 1 HP pump. I expect this pump will run quite often maybe even close to continuously. Thanks for your help.

I want to replace my old 1/3 hp Zoeller with a newer 1/2 M98. Our pump has worked well but we got hit with a lot of water in the Sept 2011 flood (Lancaster PA area). The check valve double checked so I don't know if the pump would have handled that volume. The pump is old, has a 1 & 1/4 line out. Do you think replacement with a 1/2 hp upgrade would be ok? Fits in the well the same but would handle a bit more water per hour. Thanks

I would like to know how many watts a 1/3 or 1/2 hp sump pump has, because i was think of buying a portable generator in case the power goes off.

Jim, I've learned a lot reading these Q&As and the reveiws. A few questions for you - hopefully this isn't overboard, I'm rather new to having a basement... 1. My current sump pump is old and I'd like to proactively replace it. Based on where I live, and how active he heard my sump pump going off even after no rainfall for a while, a plumber/family friend recommended getting 2 high velocity pumps at least 1/3 HP (with 2" discharge). Even though this only has 1.5" discharge, based on reviews I'm sold on either this Zoeller or your Storm Pro 'Best'. I've also heard of some friends having someone out to 'install a battery backup' on their existing pump (apparently not a separate system including another pump). Is there a way to add a battery backup system on to these pumps, since I want those pumps but the security of a battery backup? Does this approach of 2 of the same pumps make sense to you, or should I be looking to get one of these and a battery backup system? 2. How much time do the battery backups generally give you? Thanks! 3.

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?

I am considering buying a Zoeller m98. I am going to have it on a dedicated circuit my question is how many amps does the circuit breaker and circuit need to be. I see that the running amperage is 9.4 but I am concerned about having a circuit that will carry the starting load.

I have this pump: Zoeller M98 - 1/2 HP Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump w/ Vertical Float Switch, I am on my 3 pump in 6 years. All the same pump. Each time the pump gets stuck in the on positon and will not shut off. Can I replace the switch? I just got a new one and thought I could fix the swith on the old one and keep for a back up. Also, isn't is strange that this keeps happening? Our pump runs quite a bit in the spring and in winter is we get rain or a big snow melt. I keep getting the same pump from my home builder who runs a plumbing supply company and get a good price. Should I consider a different pump?

I want to replace our pedestal pump, which runs a lot due to high water table, and the zoeller M98 looks good. We have a rectangular sump hole in the corner of the basement, about 18 inches deep (est). What accessories would I need with the pump? All the covers I see are round, is there a rectangular cover available, and where does the check value go? Thanks!

Can you raise the vertical float switch to accommodate a higher water level in the sump pump pit on this Zoeller submersible sump pump, if so, how?

I am considering ordering a back-up for my thirty-year-old Sears Craftsman 1/2 hp submersible. So far this unit (Zeoller M98) looks to be the best fit in terms of size, capacity and quality. Can I reuse the Craftsman solid state controller? The reason why is, I like that I can precisely set the cycle on/off level, using these little probes that run to an A/C line controller. I'd re-buy that exact same Craftsman unit again, except they don't make it anymore.
