## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the waranty valid when you by thru amazon , some reviews indicate that it is not**
A: I've been trying to get Zoeller Pumps too tell me if there's a problem with the warranty on Amazon purchased pumps. They have not responded. I started a return process, but if the pump is covered under warranty, I will cancel it.

A: roughly 45  GPM HERE'S PER HOUR         GPH @ 0 feet:	2680 GPH GPH @ 5 feet:	2680 GPHGPH @ 10 feet  2040 GPH @ 15 feet: 1140 GPH  HOPE THIS HELPS YOUGPH @ 20 feet:	Off

**Q: what is the lift rate limit, will it lift 11' vertical?**
A: I do not know the actual lift rate -- My pump pumps up 9' then pump the water 150' away from the basement and when the water comes out the pressure is very strong!--JOE

**Q: Should the pump run all the time**
A: no it should not run all the time it has a float that shuts it off when the pit is near empty. The float arm might be stuck if it doesn't stay up then it's time to replace
