Still on the sump pump

Update: In a case of "why don't you just order what will work?" the Liberty 237 fits the sump pit perfectly, and the vertical magnetic float switch doesn't get fouled up by hitting the side of the pit. Amazon had it in my hands in 25 hours (at no extra cost).



Okay, I ordered the Liberty 237.

I finally tired of making the new Everbilt 1/2 HP model SBA033BC with tether switch work. The manual calls for a bigger sump, and the tether switch hit the side. I need a more compact switch that will fit in my 12" x 12" x 12" sump.
