This pump is so great I bought it a beer
So let’s frame the situation here...I built my house about two years ago on top of what apparently is a natural spring that produces more water than the entire nation of Guam. Seriously, it seems to do better than my well. Constantly filled up my sump, and the humidity of my basement was super high. As an added plus, my water is really high in salt. I could take a bunch of lobsters and throw them in my sump and eat like a king for years to come. They would live and breed, develop their own tunnel system, own culture, maybe worship me as their god....who knows. Anyway, the water is awful. I had a Harbor Freight pump I bought in a pinch, and that sucked lasted a whole month before it couldn’t take it anymore. It would have gone out for a pack of smokes and not come back if it could have, but since it couldn’t, it just froze up and died. Not a good death either. Think about it, it was basically running on a treadmill for 12 hours a day in a salty pit of horrors for a month. AND THATS WHEN THIS THING CAME ON THE SCENE. It was more than I wanted to spend, but I had a big problem on my hands, so I had a few beers and bought it. Not a single regret. This thing has been a complete champ. It runs around 10-12 hours a day and that has been for a little over a year. Nonstop. In fact, the reason I decided to finally write this review is because it stopped working. I was prepared to get all pissed off and order another one....and to my surprise, the thing had sucked up a bunch of rocks and clogged the hose. I cleared it out and it is running perfectly again. Unbelievable. I poured a beer in my sump because I figured the little guy deserved one, and now here I am writing this. Highly recommend.
