The Everbilt 1/2 HP Pedestal pump is designed to remove water from a basement sump pit. It works well in narrow sump pits with diameters of 12" or larger. This powerful pump moves up to 4,600 GPH and a maximum lift of 22 ft. The pump is constructed with a heavy-duty cast iron base, a stainless steel column, and motor shaft and comes completely assembled for easy installation. It is powered by a heavy-duty, high-efficiency dual ball bearing PSC motor with thermal overload protector and reduces operating cost. The innovative float design is protected by the motor assembly. The adjustable float allows for easy adjustment to change the operating cycle. The top handle can be used to easily move the pump.
