RL-SPS33 1/4 HP Sump Pump Water Removal System with Vertical Float Switch and Five Gallon Basin

Sturdy, quiet and performs flawlessly

Great pump. Working solid for a year. No issues.

I purchased this pump to replace a dead older laundry pump. This thing is super solid and easy to install if you have minimal plumbing skills, very recommended.

I set up a laundry room in the basement with a utility sink, and this is perfect and has been working without problem for months. Works great with the washing machine and any use of the sink. I will end up buying another one at some point.

An error in the installation manual drawings indicates that the ports on the top of the lid can be used interchangeably for waste or vent. This is false. One of the ports is smaller on the interior side of the lid to fit close with the outlet pipe from the pump. If the other port is used for waste, much of the pumped water will circulate around the larger opening back into the basin and not develop enough pressure to discharge. I falsely assumed that the manual was correct and installed the waste on the wrong port, requiring disassembly to reorient the pump and do more PVC work to cross the vent and waste. Make sure the vent port is connected to your actual DWV venting system. Trying to shortcut with AAV or island vents will pressure lock the system and cause malfunction.
