InoKraft E-Float Automatic Sump Pump 1/2HP, 2500 GPH Submersible Water Pump with Auto/Manual Mode, Mesh Bag, Universal Hose Adapters,Grey

I rate this product five stars. BACKGROUND My apartment is in the basement. The sinks in the three apartments above me are connected to the waste water drain pipe that is connected to my kitchen sink, as one might anticipate. But somewhere deep below the concrete foundation, below the level of my apartment, the waste water drain pipe is clogged. THE PROBLEM: Water backs up into my apartment's kitchen sink and frequently overflows onto the floor because the waste water from the sinks of the three units above me cannot enter the sewage pipes. Because I work in the legal field, I often have late evenings and nights. On numerous occasions, I returned home late to discover that my floor and sink were filled with someone else's discarded dishwater and I spent the next hour eliminating the water. My back muscles reminded me of my late-night escapades the following morning. When I told my landlord of the problem, he evaluated it, said it would take a week or two to fix the blockage because it was so deep in the building's concrete foundation, and offered me another apartment. Unfortunately, because of temporary personal issues I was not able to move to another apartment. I thus thought about the problem and, on a whim, looked up information online about the systems that pumped water out of containers. My investigation eventually led me to sump pumps and pool water extraction systems. After that, I looked into sump pumps. I was searching for a pump that would function effectively, be durable and well-built, turn on and off automatically, and be reasonably priced. THE SOLUTION: By chance, my search turned up InoKraft and its offerings. I've been using the product for about a week, and it's really effective. I sat the pump in my sink and connected it to a garden hose that travels into my bathtub. As a result, when the dishwater from the three apartments backs up in my sink, the InoKraft E-Float Automatic Sump Pump automatically pumps the dishwater water out of my sink and into my bathtub via the garden hose, allowing the dishwater to travel down another unobstructed drain line. Understandably, my solution to the problem is a very temporary one, however as far as I am concerned the InoKraft device affected my life and wellbeing positively and I CAN say that about extremely FEW products. Now I know that my opinion is necessarily biased as I have not tested all sump pumps that are on offer. However; I can tell you this: InoKraft E-Float Automatic Sump Pump worked for me as promised. And on a personal level, the pump paid for itself on the first day of use as it allowed me to return home without having to risk back pain by cleaning up spilled dishwater after a nine or eleven-hour workday. Would I purchase another sump pump from the company? Yes, I would without hesitation. The previous statement is naturally biased; InoKraft helped me address a temporary issue, and as someone who values loyalty, I always stick with those that do that.

Great pump. Works great and pumps alot of water. Puts out more then my water hose

Powerful, quiet and dependable. Easy to install and takes up less room than the previous sump pump I had. The built-in float is so much better than the floating arm that the prior pump had which always got hung up. I highly recommend and I’m very pleased with the performance and my purchase.

The pump worked well and functioned as expected, meeting my needs. However, the instructions on the packaging did not match the information on the website, which was confusing. According to the website, the pump would activate at a water depth of 1.5 inches, but the packaging stated 2-1/3 inches, which surprised me because that would not have met my requirements. Fortunately, in practice it did operate as described on the website, activating at 1.5 inches of water depth.

It failed in the first 30 minutes of operation in clean water. The 90 degree fitting isn't tapered and tightens facing down, not up, so it needs to stay loose while pumping out. It's very loud and sucks air for about 20 seconds after the float hits bottom. That's probably what burnt it out.

I love the functional ability this has! It knows when to turn off and when to turn off. It’s very durable and with all the rain we’ve had, it doesn’t disappoint to make the flow of water go where it needs to.

First pump I received immediately ran when plugged in, sitting on a table. That is not as designed. It should start in auto mode and since it is dry, it shouldn't run. When it is placed in the water it should turn on, and run until the water level is shallow enough to activate shutdown (or you remove it from the water). It should then run about 30 seconds more and shut off. There is also a selectable manual mode where the pump will run continuously. The new replacement ran as designed and really puts out some water! It is also very quiet. It comes with a silt bag to use around the pump (only if you are pumping water that could contain items that would hurt the pump) and an assortment of plumbing fittings for temporary or permanent connection to the pump. Nice unit.

Great pump, love the fact it has manual and auto modes, most pumps either have one or the other but not both
