A low cost 1/2 HP pump for a deep basement where lift matters more than raw volume.

2.9/5
For a deep basement or a pit that fills fast, where a strong cast iron pump that fits a narrow pit is worth paying for.

Pros
- Moves about 3,300 gallons an hour at 10 ft and still pumps past 30 ft of lift
- Heavy one piece cast iron body built for long run times in wet seasons
- Magnetic vertical float fits a pit as small as 10 in
- Stainless screen and 3/4 in solids handling resist clogging
Cons
- Expensive for a 1/2 HP pump
- At 29 lb it is heavy to pull out of the pit
- Flow comes from a curve only; Liberty publishes no table
