GREAT PRODUCT!
It was easy to install and it works perfectly. I noticed that Amazon notes it is a product often returned. i believe it is because folks don't install the special plug-in correctly.

Great pump especially for good for backup system
I am using it a secondary pump in my pit. I like this because it is narrow and the dual float switch allows you to place it higher in the pit so I can use it as a backup

Quiet and Efficient
I had this same model for about 12 years before it quit working, but I liked it and bought it again. It may have failed only because I didn't elevate it on a brick or something when I installed it, and it was sitting in a lot of clay type sludge when I went to replace it. The impeller or internal components may have gotten clogged or seized. Again, I did not elevate the new one but I sucked up and cleaned the sump out thoroughly. I hope it lasts another decade or more.

Waisted money

You can not go wrong with this pumps. Solidly made to last for long long time.
I have used many other brands for pumps over many many years. once I tried Basement watchdog sump, never looked back. I found this pumps to be most reliable and smartly designed. With other brand if the float fails you have to replace whole pump, with this one since they are separate you can get away replacing float switch only. The pumps are made to last long time even with continuous duty. Customer service is Super friendly and easy. you have a customer for a life.

Works as it should.
Had one with a float that keeps getting hung up. This one goes straight up and down so no issues with it being stuck on.

Very good pump
But has rusted out over time in the past. This is the replacement.

Does NOT come with the vertical
Doesn't come with any adapter or vertical riser, even though it is shown. I have counted on Watchdog for years with the battery backup system. Now I am going to go for a 2 pump system so I bought the 1/2hp pump as my main. The exit hole is 1 1/2npt not 1 1/4npt like the battery unit. I hope it is as dependable as the battery run unit. More later after the next flood.
