1/3 HP Stainless Steel Dual Suction Sump Pump

A:  The pump has worked great.  I would recommend it.

A:  This pump will pump up to 20' of discharge head (lift distance).

A:  Mine goes up 8' then out 12' before dropping to the ground and traveling 35' to the back of the property with NO problems

A:  Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. Per Page 9 of the Warranty file also located in the form of a PDF file, under 'Product Details' and 'Additional Resources' verbatim "For five years for 1000RSDS, 500RSDS, and 330RSDS models from the date of purchase." We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.

A:  The running amps of the pump is 8.1. In rush can be up to 5 times the running amps when using an alternate power source. Because of the large inrush Wattage that is required, we do not recommend running pumps on generators.

A:  I have this pump up north at my home I also have a Firman generator at the same home. It runs on propane or gasoline, the output of the generator is higher on gasoline but then you have to run the gasoline out of the carburetor every time you use it so I’ve only used it on propane. The generator is large enough to run the fridge, furnace, a handful of lights and 2 sump pumps. It’s a 8500 watt generator I have at my home for back up power, my tenants have used it 2 or 3 times with no issues. The heat stayed on, no pipes froze no food went bad and no water in the basement. In the spec sheet for the for the pump you will find a pump start up wattage for the pump. What ever size generator you decide to get you need to add up what you are putting on the generator before you purchase it to make sure you don’t overload the generator and end up with no power at all. I would find out what you want to run on the generator, then go on Firman’s web sight and locate a generator that’s inline with your total wattage being used. I believe they advise going a little larger on the wattage for motor spikes on start up’s. Their web sight is very informative. Good luck Joe

A:  No this pump has duel suction so there is no need for a weep hole. That information is in the video with the product.

A:  No, this pump has a dual suction design that allows any trapped air to escape thru the side ports of the intake screen.
