Will this handle a 1/3 hp sump pump? Will it work ok?

probably will. Pumps are high inductive loads that pull a lot of power to start up. You might also consider a 12 volt bilge pump connected directly to the marine battery. Will require a bit of plumbing, but more energy efficient since you don't have to convert voltage. Also, you could set up the bilge pump with it's own float switch so it comes on automatically. What if you are not home when the power goes out? Who will move the plug for the 120 Volt bilge pump from the wall to the inverter?

Well I have a 1 1/2 hp hayward pump and this filter handles it fine, very sturdy. I would think that an extra 1/2 hp would be fine for this model. Best of luck!Andy

Not for sure, but my pump is a 1.5 hp. You my not have enough power to operate this filter. Cannot say yes.

I believe it is 1/4 hp. You can find all the details at the Simer website. This product has worked GREAT for us. Using it for a basement laundry, utility sink, and dehumidifier drain. Pumping about 8' up to main drain, never had any problems so far (had it about 6 months)

I don't know but I have a 1 HP Hayward pump and it didn't fit mine. Sorry I can't give more info.

It's a great pump. I have a 24 ft round pool and it really does the job. It has plenty of power (1 1/2 hp) check your fitting sizes,,,,,I'm sure it will work for you.

I replaced my 2 hp pump with this one and it works great. No issues at all. You'll be very happy with it.

The 4400 GPH pump is 1/2 HP. It will handle 10 ft lift just fine (3200 GPH output @ 10 ft lift, according to the specs). I have it lifting 12-14' in my basement.

The Sanibest Pro is 1 HP. It is capable of pumping 25 ft vertically via a 3/4 inch discharge line. Full specs are available on our site. Let me know if I can help. Thanks, Mark The SanifloStore

I am currently running a 1/2 horsepower pump at the time. the pump was intended for a spa tub but it works well for my 22 foot above ground Intex pool.

I'm using one on my water tank but it does have a 1/4 hp pump on it. Works good. If you are just thinking about a water flow on this time I don't think it will work. I'm sure you have to have some pressure to move the timer.

I think you can Google "sump pump size calculator" and get some useful info. For reference, I have a 15 foot lift in a residential use and replaced a 1/4 HP Zoeller with a 1/3 HP and have no issues. The 1/3 HP motor is more than powerful enough and empties the sump in about 5 seconds. With the M53 Mighty Mate the sump only gets about 12" of water before the pump kicks on. I am thinking about installing a separate "float valve" so the pump doesn't cycle so often during the rainy season.

It's 1/2 HP. Yes confusing by what some sellers publish because they are "boiler plating" their product information. So don't go by pictures either. When in doubt go directly to manufacturer website and get model information. This is a fantastic pump. Quiet but moreso...efficient.

It depends on your application. For a normal "get rid of rain or washtub water" residential application, a third to half a horsepower is generally plenty. A half horsepower unit will generally handle more water if you have a very leaky basement. (You should check the flow capacity (Gallons per minute) and compare). Counter-intuitively, I've been told buying too much pump, like 3/4 or 1 HP for this type of application is a bad idea. I don't recall precisely why, but I think it could damage the pump. Plus the bigger pumps get more expensive. I'd recommend you either read several plumbing sites, or consult with a plumer and/or local plumbing supply company (or two) that you trust. They may well need to understand your precise application to give good answer. Also, if you're moving out sewage, sludge, etc. instead of just water, there are different kinds of pumps and again -- seeking advice from an expert is a good idea.

Pretty small for that. You would need a 3/4 HP pump with at least a 75 sq ft filter to be happy.

Yes it will fit. I purchased it for a 3/4 HP Hayward pump but shortly afterwards, I replaced my motor with a 1 HP and reused this seal. It works fine.

That would depend on the amperage of your sump pump and the length of your extension cord... By doing a little research online, I would say that if your sump is 6 amps or below and you limit the length of your extension to 50 ft or 75 ft at the longest you should do okay. This is just my opinion as I have not run a motor with an extension on my own unit. I have had my unit for a year and love it. We use it to charge phones, computers, lights, Ipods, etc... when camping. We keep it busy and use it a lot. We have done away with D batteries for flashlights and fans. :D
