Client Testimonials
Zoeller M-53 Sump Pump
A home we are remodeling had a leaky basement. Heavy rains lasting a few days resulted in an inch or even more of water in the basement. A actual mess. We got bids from 6 basement waterproofing organizations. Five companies said they installed Zoeller M-53s due to the fact they were the most trustworthy pump they were aware of, and angry consumers with failed pumps had been bad for company.
The business we hired did a fantastic job, as the basement is now bone dry regardless of rainstorms. The M-53 is so quiet, that unless you are close to the sump basin, you can't hear it run. It really is only been a year since installation, so I can not rate pump longevity but so far, it's worked just fine.
The M-53 turns on when the water level depth is 7", and shuts off when the water depth is 3".
The contractor installed a sump basin with TWO pumps: an M-53 and the Zoeller model 507 backup pump, which uses a 12-volt marine-battery. At a five feet head (from pump to water discharge), the M-53 pumps 43 gallons per minute, and the 507 does 23 GPM. A backup battery operated pump provides added protection when the main AC pump fails due to: storms, brownouts, the primary pump fails due to damage, mechanical malfunction or obstructions in the pit, or when the primary pump fails due to damage, mechanical malfunction or obstructions in the pit, or when the main pump fails to maintain up with excessive water due to rain or overloading. As far as I know, the 507 has under no circumstances kicked-in, but it does eliminate worries about basement flooding.
The bottom assembly (containing the feet) is plastic on this pump, as is the impeller. Zoeller tends to make a much better version, called the M-57, which is identical to this 1, except the base is cast iron, as is the impeller. A cast iron impeller will hold up far better to gravel, sand, or other hard issues being sucked in to the pump, as compared to the plastic impeller of the M53.
I own two M53s and an M57. The M57 feels like it weighs 10 pounds a lot more, due to its additional cast iron. If you drop the M53 (e.g., even though servicing it), the plastic base looks like it could simply break. If you drop the M57, you are going to dent your floor. If I had it to do once more, I'd get M57s, even although the M53 is a fine pump.
Great pump. It replaced a "top rated of the line" Ridgid pump that started acting up. The Ridgid pump had the "industry major" electronic switch that would not maintain water level reliabilty. I paid $100 less with the Zoeller and got a superior pump.
The great factor about the Zoeller it that it is the exact same basic design that has been manufactured for 20+ years. It is tried and true. Replacement parts are readily offered at your nearby plumbing provide shop.
As for the reviewer who had the switch fail. It is a mechanical portion. It has a rated life. It will fail ultimately. As with any mechanical system, it needs common upkeep. Obtain the $20 replacement switch and replace it every single three years. Even though you are at it, check and clean the float, inspect the check valve, and make positive the impeller is clear and spinning freely. No sump pump really should ever be regarded a upkeep-zero cost item.
As for not like an alarm... You can get a $10 water sensor/alarm from just about anyplace. A further popular-sense point to install when you have a basement.
This is a superb pump. It is not exciting like the major box-shop sump with a crazy horsepower rating, a high flow rate at feet of head, and fancy newfangled electronic switch. It really is a fundamental pump that performs a distinct job reliably. It is the sort of thing you want in your sump crock.
