The pump is not working and I ordered a new one. I do not want to send the whole kit back because of the trouble in getting it installed properly.I need to find out how to remove and repave the old pump. I have tried for two days to find support to no avail.

As far as pumping water out, it works really well.The only issue I have which others have mentioned is the 3/4" inlet being much too close to the largest inlet, making installation difficult as the clamp on the large inlet won't even fit without first removing some material from the 3/4" one, and it's consequently not possible to use all three inlets, but I only needed two so it still worked out.

Easy install & a Great pump depending on how your boat is plumbed. Used this pump in our old boat but the lines ran down then out. Unable to use in current boat because lines run up then out. I previously installed two of these, they work great. Just remember to periodically clean out the box (hair, etc.) & flush with a little vinegar to help keep lines & small amount of waterthat stays in the box odor free.

You get what you pay for. In hindsight I wish I had paid more and bought a better quality product where the screen stays in place better, the hose barbs are spaced better, and the pump is higher quality. That being said, it seemed to work for a while. However, due to the fairly low quality, I feel like I have to keep getting into the bilge access to check on it. Now that I'm 6 months in, I found the integrated float switch is sticking and allowing the sump to overflow. I'm going to go ahead and purchase one of better quality.

Easy drop in replacement for the TWO Rule sumps that I had before. The Rule sumps had serious proble,ms with the float switch behaving badly and was very unreliable. Both units failed in a couple years of use. This unit is solid - can be left on the entire weeks of a cruise and make no noise unless the shower is used. It pumps super fast and shuts down. Easy to clean our hair etc. Price was so good I bought a second one as a spare but the performance so far gives me the idea I may want to sell my second one.

It's a very cheap alternative/replacement of the shower sump/pump on my boat. $280 for a straight sawp, versus $40 for this was a no -brainer for me as I only need occasional use of it.PROs:- easy to install: cut the hose bard end off with a hacksaw for the size you need, then attach hoses - DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN HOSE CLAMP, YOU WILL BREAK IT EVENTUALLLY! Then wire in the pump.- all-in-one unit has box/lid with pump and integrated float switch in it- it has a slot-in 'filter' screen to stop hair etc getting into pumpCONs- filter screen is pretty flimsy, as is the unit itself - IF YOU'RE BLUEWATER CRUISING, avoid this and buy a better housing. You don't want a broken hose barb on the box to break off whenever the hoses get jolted around after a couple of seasons...- Integrated float switch will probably fail before the pump.SUMMARYBuy it for a quick/cheap item to do the job with light use inshore, if you're happy doing your own maintenance. Great value in that context. Install it carefully with strain relief on hoses.

Looked at lots of sump boxes as the one I had "gave up the ghost". This shower sump box was less than the price of a replacement pump in the old box (which was gross by the way) which looked to be the original. I read the reviews saying it was "cheap" but, when it arrived, I found it to be substantial and well made. As noted in some reviews, I noticed that the inlet and outlet sides were reversed from the old box but this was only a minor inconvenience. I hooked it up, fastened it in place and tested it. Worked great and best of all, no temperamental float switch like the old one. I truly dislike the float switches as I find them to be wholly unreliable over time. I use the shower daily. After a month, no issues and works as it should. Even if it gives out every year, still cheaper than the ones at West Marine or other marine stores. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
