Sump Pump, PROSTORMER 2110GPH 1/2HP Water Pump with Build-in Float Switch

Works well for the price, comes with built in float switch. No problems yet.

The city had a water leak in the alley that kept filling up my sprinkler valve box. The leak last 3 months. So I bought this a set it on a timer to pump out every 2 hours for 15 minutes (it took about 1 1/2 hours for my valve box to fill). My valve box was large enough that it held about 110 gallons of water. It worked great a first but the float on the low level switch would get stuck and the pump would not come on. I would have to go and shake the pump a little to get the float loose so pump would come on. Over all it worked as intended and I did use it for about 3 months straight on a timer. When I took it out I did clean it up and back flush the pump to clean it out and it’s ready for the next time I need it

Easy to set up and works perfectly..

The only way this pump works in automatic (float) mode is to submerge it, and then jiggle it so that the motor turns on. I tried a few tests lowering the pump into a container of water to simulate filling a sump. Not one time did the pump kick on by itself, but had to be jiggled in order to activate. I guess you get what you pay for. Sending this one back.

I order two pumps for sumps in window wells. Both worked terrifically at first then one stopped working, leaving a lot of residual water. I had to use the other pump to empty the basin. When they work, they work great. Hoping that the replacement works as good as the first.

Due to drain colapse in basement the AC drain was flooding basement. Put in 5 gallon bucket and ran AC drain into bucket. Hooked up garden hose with supplied adapter and ran to different drain. It kicks on hourLy for well over a month to keep up with large amount draining from AC. Was temp fix but due to family emergency and it being super quiet I forgot it. Basement is unfinished and not used much except storage. Went to check and it’s still working perfect.

I had this same pump for 8 years, it worked great pumping rainwater and irrigation water out of a sump. When I bought it 8 years ago, it was called a Flotec, but it’s the same identical pump.

Not recommended for a sump pit application. (This is the 1/2HP version). First pump I was sent worked fine for a completely flooded basement (it was able to be submerged several feet). But when the water level got down to just the sump pit, the pump would run (the water level was high enough to trigger the auto-float switch) but no water would come out. I cleaned all parts, and noticed that if the discharge hose wasn't attached, water would fly out of the pump, but as soon as the hose was put on, the pump couldn't overcome the pressure to lift the water out of the sump pit. I returned the first purchase thinking this was a lemon (I have the 1HP version of the ProStormer pump and it has worked fine in another basement). The second pump has done the same thing. I'm thinking this is a classic case of the old GPM vs. head pressure marketing shenanigans. The 1/2HP pump can definitely shoot out water with no hose attached, but it can't build enough pressure to actually lift the water. **To be fair, this may just be for my application, where the sump pit only submerges the pump by a few inches. (And I don't mean the pump is only sitting in a few inches of water, I mean the pump is underwater by a few inches).
