Mastercraft 1/2-HP Cast-Iron Column Electric Sump Pump

Maintain water levels in basements and sump pits with the Mastercraft Cast Iron Column Sump Pump, 1/3 HP. Designed for permanent installation, this electric sump pump is ideal for emptying narrow basement sump pits that need frequent drainage. Powered by a 1/2 HP motor, this pedestal sump pump has a maximum flow rate of 3600 GPH (13,267 L/h). Built-in thermal overload protection prevents the motor from overheating by switching off the sump pump before damage is caused. The non-submersible design allows for easy servicing and repair, while the metal switch arm provides added strength. The permanent split-capacitator motor has lower amperage, which keeps the motor cooler and helps with longevity. Stainless-steel and cast-iron construction lends durability to this basement pump by helping to prevent rusting and corrosion. Additionally, the stainless-steel shaft prevents corrosion and breakage, adding resiliency to this water pump for basement. The automatic, adjustable float switch turns the pump on and off at a predetermined water level. The cast iron base provides added strength and support, while the stainless steel impeller resists clogs and handles solids up to 3/16” (0.5cm) in diameter. A top suction design eliminates air locks and clogging from the bottom of the sump pit. A screwdriver, hacksaw, tape measure, rigid pipe, tongue and groove pliers, zip ties, cement, and a check valve (sold separately) may be required in order to install the pump. This product includes a 10’ (3m) power cord.
