 Costly, but works great. January 12, 2008

When I recieved this, I couldn't believe it was all plastic for the price I paid. But I went ahead and installed it anyway and I am not disapointed in its performance. It works terrific. It is loud as it runs and does cause water hammer at shut off but it does what it is supposed to. Just make sure you correct any high water pressure problems or you will get water blasting out from the head gasket when it shuts off. Also it is very loud because it is mounted right to the floor joist. The one time it kicked on because of a power outage overnight, it woke me up in a second floor bedroom, which when you think about it was accually a good thing so I could check on things. It is pricey, but it works. I just hope its all plastic construction holds up.

I live at a bottom of a hill and it is a nessisity to have a backup. When I moved into the home the owner installed this pump. Just had a plummer in here and said these are the worst you could have. My main pump died (didn't know it) back up kicked in and now it died. so for the past two months it has been running on water and sucking water when it wasn't nessisary (it died, remember) So the water guy who reads the meter knocked on the door to ask if there was anything wrong because we have been using twice the water we ususaly do. It was cool of him to let us know. both him and the plummer said they havent seen these in YEARS and they are obsolete. It may work for a while but what if the village or town shuts off the water for any reason...you won't have a backup. Battery is best, don't go cheep and get a pump with an alarm on it to alert you when the first has gone bad.
 Kept my basement dry for 4 days October 18, 2006

We just had the October surprise snowstorm of 2006. Our power was out for 4 days. The rain that followed and melting snow meant that the Basepump HB 1000 had to run every 5 minutes to keep up with the peak water flow. It never missed a beat. The only negative was the loud water hammer when it shut off. I plan to add a water hammer arrestor to the supply line sometime soon. It is a great product that performs exactly as advertised.
