Pros
- Cast iron housing and volute with a three year warranty
- 20 ft cord reaches an outlet well away from the basin
- Piggyback float can be swapped or bypassed without pulling the pump
Cons
- Costs as much as stronger 1/2 HP pumps for 80 gpm at 10 ft
- Little flow left at 20 ft
- Tethered float needs a basin wide enough for it to swing freely
