Good morning and happy Thanksgiving BITOG.
I am seeking input and recommendations on a replacement 1/2 hp sump pump. Current model is a Basement Watchdog branded pump (model number is unreadable) that is paired with a Basement Watchdog battery back-up system. Recently replaced the battery in the back-up system and while doing so noticed the sump pump was starting to show its age. During periods of wet weather highest usage would be up to 25 times an hour for 24 to 48 hours and then go for months without any use. I have been reading reviews online and trying to determine which brands offer quality construction and durabilty. I am hopeful several of our members here will have some firsthand experiences either personally or professionally on which pumps, material used (stainless steel, cast iron, and so on) and features are most desirable.
