Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So now that I've had this for a while, I feel compelled to comment about it. 2 years ago I moved my laundry to the basement and naturally that meant using a pump to elevate that water. I didn't really give it a second thought from there: I used an all-in-one solution from the local "home store" (hint: store = depot) that promised me it wouldn't fail, and that it had an "internal check valve." Oh my poor naive 2-years-ago-self. Contained in the sump box was some imported pump made out of Chinesium, but it assured me it was good enough, like an activist second-string quarterback. "No coach, I won't let you down." Well, much like Kaepernick, and much like the 49ers playoff hopes, my pump was soon underwater and drowning and it was time to move on. "Internal check valve," my foot... Amazon searches led me here, and figuring it was too good to be true, I went to their website and found Zoeller is an American family-owned company. Their pumps ship with residual water in them because some American Patriot threw it in a bath after production to assure it works. I'm fully on board. I can work with this. Installation was straightforward and results have spoken for themselves. So now I'm left wondering, is this the Tom Brady of laundry pumps? Well so far, it has been quiet. It hasn't hiccuped under pressure. And the way my fiancee does laundry, this thing is never not in service. Challenging it further, let's throw a heat pump vent-less dryer at it? No problem. Run em both at the same time! Throw in a dehumidifier? No big deal Mr Goodell, "I got this." You might say, "Yeah but I mean, that's only like 3 devices draining, and it's keeping up. Maybe if you had a water softener draining into it... maybe then that'd be something MVP worthy." And I'd have some news for you, because my municipal water has more calcium than that precious California Happy-Cow milk. And the only way to avoid crusty pipes is to slap a water softener in the system and throw that brine at this pump like a blitz-hungry defense. Yup. No problems. Quietly throwing downfield, up-pipe, it doesn't matter. It's just there every day, working, especially on Sundays. This is the Tom Brady of laundry pumps. This is GOAT territory. Buy it already.
