Our scoreSCORE7.3 / 10Not reviewed yet
Our takeOur default for a furnace, air handler or dehumidifier lifting water up to about 10 ft, with the overflow switch the bare UL lacks. Plan on motor noise and a check valve that needs cleaning.The pick if you want 115V or 230V in one tank pump. We've seen no owner reports on it, and its listed 3.3 ft cord needs an outlet close by.

Watch out forThe 15 in the name is shut-off head, not working lift; the manual's 75% rule puts planning lift near 11 ft. Remove the cardboard insert or the pump will overflow. Warranty is 12 months from purchase.Treat the 20 ft as likely shut-off head, like Little Giant's 15, not working lift; no flow curve is published.
