Zoeller Waste-Mate 267-0001 Sewage Pump, 1/2 HP Automatic – Heavy-Duty Submersible Sewage, Effluent or Dewatering Pump

Extremely heavy and durable. The pump looks and feels solid made. Item arrived on time and well-packaged. The pump's 85 gal/min flow rate was more than enough to handle my basement bathroom's shower, sink and toilet. The pump was easy to install with very good instructions and diagrams to aid you in proper installation. The pump functioned flawlessly and I was surprised at the quiet operation and how quickly it drained the sump tank. While this pump may not be the cheapest one out there, Zoeller is known for its quality and durability. I highly recommend this pump for those reasons.

I live in a 1920s-era home in Brazil, Indiana. The property has an exceedingly high water table and I've used these pumps to keep my basement dry (I don't use them for sewage--just my basement sumps). The oldest one I own I installed back in like 2012 or 2013, and it's still working flawlessly. The newer one--of the same model--handles my basement perimeter drain and as I type this, it's kicking on almost every 10 or 15 seconds due to a major rain that we're currently getting (2-3" worth). I can't say enough good stuff about these pumps. Word of advice: Make sure to drill the little 3/16ths weep hole about 2 fingers above the discharge port and do whatever you can to make sure your exit line has long-arch angles to push through for any turns your exit line has to make as it'll reduce noise and vibration. My current pumps push up about 5-6' before leveling and going out of the house. Doing this means the pipe uses the floor joists for suspension before exiting the home. If you do this, don't disregard the amount of noise the pump will reverberate throughout the home because unless you have a special way to suspend the pipe, you'll hear a lot of noise from the pipe and the pump. (Which is perfectly normal, but the solution isn't a new pump but rather, a better installation of the exit line that most people need contractor help to do right.) Overall, these pumps are amazing and well worth their expense.

The pump arrived on time and was overall easy to install. Water flow was smooth, the pump was quiet but I personally didn't mind when I heard in sometimes because we knew it was working properly. The system flushes out the water quickly. The longevity of the prior pump lasted 9 years. We think it could’ve lasted longer, but we had a faulty check valve. Highly recommend

This Zoeller pump is all cast iron. So I expect that it will still work after the exterior Amazon, and interior manufacturer box were busted through during shipping, from the inside out. It would of helped if Amazon put any type of packing materials between the two boxes. It is heavy and no one cares.

Very heavy duty pump!. Only drawback is the float switch is connected to the pump motor so only one power cord plug is available from this pump. On other pumps that have the float switch plug into the power outlet and then the pump motor plugs into the float switch cord allows for easier testing to determine if the float switch is bad or the pump motor is bad without removing the pump cover or pulling the pump out of the pit.

We had a septic tank disaster the old pump died and alarm did not work this appeared to be the best match I ordered it my brother installed it and it has been working like a dream so far it’s has only been a couple of weeks but it’s doing the job nicely

Sorry to say this pump arrived in a very beat up box. Pump was in pieces, the bottom housing was unbolted. The float would not turn the switch off...I am returning. Very disappointed.

Well built. My last one just like it lasted 14 years.

Pump is an upgrade from what I was using and it is doing exactly as it is supposed to do. Very sturdy and so far reliable.

Horrible pump! I’ve replaced an old pump which has been working for 30 years with that Zoeller and automatic switch got broke in 2 weeks so pump would keep running while there was no water. Amazon sent a replacement and the second one stopped working even in shorter period . Need a replacement as again, but guess will pick another brand this time

It's a good pump. Very quite and good built. The only thing I don't like is the backward flow of water when the pump stops every time.
