Review 1 for 3/4 HP, 7000 GPH Submersible Sump Pump
Griff
This is truly the last sump pump you will need top buy. Its very quiet and very easy to install. With the lifetime warranty, i think its worth paying 50 to 60 dollars more, compared to a less expensive pump that you will have to replace in a few years. I'm keeping the original box and reciept in the crawl space by the pump, so if it ever fails i will have the reciept to have it replaced free of charge. It's also a great selling feature if you ever sell your home. The Bimford 5000 of the sump pump world.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pump - guarantied for life and bought to replace a sump pump that worked for 26 years - failed after only 11 days of operation. Motor was burnt. Returned pump to local Home Depot for full credit, but I am still dissapointed.

Had this model in my house for 7 years. When it died I decided to by another one. This one lasted 2 weeks and the built in check valve failed. Thinking this was a fluke I bought another one. The second one would not even run right out of the box! Decided to go with another brand.

The pump worked great for 18 days. It may be unusual circumstances as my county more or less made my base the storm drain. But it did break, the plastrc guts of the pump came apart. But if I don't recommend the pump I recommend home depot. This pump was an online pump only, and my basement had water in it. I went to the local store and without question they did the refund so I could purchase another pump.
So we all know things happen, but the store held up there end which will have me commng back

New Sump Pump
,PostedApril 30, 2011
I purchased the 3/4 hp flotec submersible pump from Home Depot's website based on reviews I read. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time in excellent condition. I was able to install this in about an hour. Most of that time was spent cleaning out the sump (contractors don't care what they throw in there). Alhough I got a new backflow valve, I was able to reuse the old pvc pipe. This new pump works great! Even with all the rain this spring it has not missed a beat. Its much quieter than the previous pump too. I have discovered that the piping underground that carries the water to the street is not angled correctly, causing water to drain back into the sump. I'll get that corrected soon. But I am very happy with the sump pump. I hope it last the ten years that the last one did. No reason to think it won't.
Here's the model I purchased.

Flotec FPOS6000A
,PostedOctober 26, 2010
This is a great pump. I've got 4 of them keeping my house dry, and a spare in case of failure. It's real easy to install, but be sure to leave lots of room for the float to swing. If it jams up, then you'll have one of 2 bad outcomes, either won't turn on, or won't turn off. I have had one pump replaced by Flotec due to failure. Be sure your electric outlet is above any possible water level.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Reliable+
,PostedAugust 12, 2010
I bought this pump 4 years ago and it has been 100% reliable. I took it apart this week and cleaned the plastic screen filter and it just had a thin coating of mud/dirt on it. I am purchasing another one, in the event this one stops working. I have my sump pit set up that it takes less than 5 minutes to install the new one. Before this I had the pedastal pumps, which were more difficult to change and a battery back-up which was a joke, as it couldn't handle the amount of water I get. I am now confident that two of these pumps will last virtually forever.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This sump pump was definitely a lifesaver this year.
I live in a flood zone and other sump pumps could not keep up with the water seepage and flooded my basement.
The past 3-day rain, many Massachusetts residents had to deal with flooded basements, but this particular pump kept me high and dry this time around.
Fantastic pump....at 7,000 GPH.

Proved to be strong for 8 years
,PostedMarch 27, 2009
I bought this pump in 2000. Used it as a sump for a number of years and subsequently to drain the pool. All in all it was a strong performer until it died today 3/26/09. As with another reviewer, mine did have the connection shoot off in the middle of a storm, filling my basement like a bathtub for hours until my wife realized it and had to call the fire department since I was out of town. What a mess, but to be honest, it was a huge amount of rain, and the pump had been going forever, Im sure the connection just worked its way out with the constant pressure. Besides, I think my wife enjoyed the guys from the station saving the day. Lesson learned: Make sure its extra tight! Perhaps using some adhesive to assist. Im not sure it put out as much GPH as it claims, but it always did the job for me. With the lifetime warranty and no receipt, Flotec gave me no problems on the phone and after a few troubleshooting questions, they had me take off the product sticker and cord tag and fax a copy in. Replacement within 7 days. Simple as that. Of course, if you are in a jam, you're stuck, but then again, 2nd day air wouldnt help you in that kind of situation anyway, so 7 days is reasonable. In Summary: I feel a $200 price is justified and I'd buy it again, but luckily, with a lifetime warranty, I'll never have to!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Once bitten....
,PostedAugust 29, 2007
I had big expectations for this product, based on previous reviews, not to mention the hefty $220 price tag.
As my 17+ year-old "el cheapo" pump finally died, I figured I had nowhere to go but up. I placed my online order (it was not available at the store), paid for express shipping, and the next day installed the pump. Since the waste piping exits the top of this pump, I also had to cut my existing piping to fit this "non-standard" arrangement.
Imagine my surprise when at the point of testing (which required a ridiculous amount of water in the sump basin), the pump only hummed - the *plastic* impeller was seized up in the housing. After numerous calls to get RMA numbers (including one to Flotec where the rep actually had me partially disassemble the unit), I finally got permission to dry off/clean up and ship the unit back for credit.
Was this one of those unforseen, one-in-a-thousand out-of-box failures that isn't representative of the product? Probably so, but it sure put a damper on my perception of this "top of the line" pump.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The real truth about a Sump Pump warranty!
,PostedJanuary 14, 2007
I've owned this Flotec model for 2.75 years. I bought this last Flotec model due to its better warranty and capability. (I used to work for their competitor years ago. I feel Flotec is a good brand.)
I paid $50 more for the better warranty and pump. I thought it would last at least 5 years. Let's discuss the life time warranty. You have to send the old unit back for Flotec first. What about your flooding basement in the mean time?
Thankfully, I have a battery back-up unit. This unit wasn't made for main full time pumping duties. It got me through the night and until I could buy the replacement.
Bottom line. Don't pay for the extra $ for this pump and its life time warranty. Who can wait for Flotec to send a replacement? Buy a lower cost unit from your local Home Depot and get a back-up pump or the battery back-up unit.
The warranty is selling feature, but not much use. My pumps go out when I'm on vacation or in the wee hours on the weekend. The warranty only works when you don't need the pump. Be Well.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Stars for easy installation
,PostedNovember 6, 2006
I don't know how the unit will hold up over time yet, but it is very easy to install. There are three pictures on the box: put in the pipe, put the unit in the sump hole, and plug it in. That's about it. The pump comes with a handy clamp fitting for hooking the unit up to an existing pipe. I'd suggest replacing the stopcock fitting (that you buy separately) at the same time-it's cheap and if it is old and cracks while you're doing the installation, it will take much longer to get the job done. Also, you don't want to be "done", only to find out the stopcock doesn't keep the reverse-flow from occurring. Don't worry whether you have 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 pipe: the fittings work with either.
Yes, I recommend this product.
