Been working for years without any problemsI put this in my last septic tank before it goes out to the drainfeild. Installed a push/ pull valve about 3 foot away from the tank (that I keep closed), and a TEE after that. Then piped the discharge from the pump to the TEE. Installed a float that turns the pump on (through a custom control panel I built), when the tank reaches a certain level and shuts it off after it drops a few feet. It’s been working for years now and I have to say that it’s been a godsend because when our clay soil gets saturated with rain, our septic system wouldn’t work but not anymore since installing this pump. I highly recommend it.

Works just fineAfter the plumber quoted me $1500 for a new one and install I looked on Amazon and found this one. Very easy to install, but use rubber gloves if it is in the septic system and save yourself a grand +. The little giant I replaced was 15 years old so I hope I get the same out of this one.

Worth the money and peace of mind.This pump replaced my original septic pump after going out within 3 years. That was 6 years ago and the little giant is still working great. I purchased another one after I though it started having issues. Turned out to be a float problem, but since they don’t last forever and if it goes out, it will probably be on a holiday weekend or something like that.

Didnt last a yearPurchased this in March 2020, the motor is already out. There was debris on the screen which was cleaned but the motor just buzzes and the gear just sputters, trips the breaker.
