i don't know if i need a 1/3 or 1/2 horsepower- in the winter the pump runs about every 8 to 10 min. lifts about 10ft.

You didn't say for how long the pump runs, but if the pumps turns on about every 8 to 10 minutes, I can only assume shallow amount of water is being pumped, thus 1/3 HP is all you need. The Zoeller M53 1/3 HP is a very robust pump and you should not have any problems with a 10 foot lift.

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.

Ours is a 1/3 and ran about every 30 seconds to a minute when it was really wet last fall with no problems. The lift is about 5 feet then about 50 foot of hose.

My pump runs about the same winter and summer and has a lift of 10 1/2 feet. It drains the sump well of approx. 8 to 10 gals. in seconds. MY SUMP WELL IS SLIGHTLY OVER 2 FEET DEEP AND THE RAFTERS ARE 8 FEET ABOVE THAT, PLUS ANOTHER 6 INCHES UP INTO THE RAFTERS. ALSO A RUN OF APPROX. 40 HORIZONTAL FEET TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE. Pump has worked well for almost one year.

The Zoeller pump I have is 1/3 HP. It lifts the water 10-12 ft up BUT does it once every few hours or so.The only thing I can recommend is it will fail after 5-6 years. The switch goes bad. Purchase a spare pump just in case. You can buy another switch with a new gasket and save $$$ on a pump, BUT is it really worth taking a chance?

It's not expensive for a 1 1/2 hp pump that is 110/ 240 v when I shopped around I found the MSRP was false and varied end user prices were much closer. Watch for shipping fees pump is heavy. Use ground if possible

Very small amounts 1" or less will work with this machine if it is not to wet. It does not do well with very wet snow (almost slush) as it jams the ejector tube. It does not do well with packed snow as it won't break it loose from the surface.

Sorry no clue. But the pump is very noisy and I don't believe design to run for hours straight. I run it about 8 to 10 mins per day.

It is a 2 speed pump. I'm guessing the top speed is (which is high) would be 2 hp and the low speed would be 1hp or less.

1/200 HP, 1.1 Amps. While this may differ from the other answers you were given, my answer is from Little Giant, the manufacturer of the pump. BTW, it's a great pump!

i would estimate about 10-12 amps when it is lifting your vehicle and at startup.

The pump is junk. I installed it on an Onan lawn tractor engine and it lasted for two mowings. Go to NAPA and buy a Facet 60104.

I've heard that 2-3 continuous horsepower is needed especially if you're going to be using the treadmill for extended period of time at low (walking speeds). It is actually more taxing on the motor when you are going slowly, unless you are walking at an incline.

depends on the size of the pump, but most are 1/3 or 1/2 HP and need less than 1000 watts, Its a safe bet this generator can handle it

Carol it runs better with real good 12 volt voltage. I ran off of the twelve volt motor that lifts the trailer up and down. I ran it to a standard 120 plug. It looks like it is 120 but it is only 12 volts from the pump I pot a regular cord that plugs in. I marked it so I plug it in the same way each time. I think the pump will run back wards if you reverse the power. That should give you a good start. Have fun and your welcome

Would not recommend it. The max lift according to the manufacturer is 200 ft. You need to go to 3/4 or 1 hp.

I run this pump in 1 HP model in a lake floated on its side. In its third year and working fine. If the water is relatively clean, it would help. I push the water 150 yds sideways and 75 ft up a hill.

My set up is about 60 feet 6 foot rise, the pump is very strongMy set up is about 60 feet and 6 foot rise, it has been running for about 3 years, The pump is very strong I think it should be no problem running only 2 foot rise.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I was very unhappy with that pump. I warmed up my boat engine for about 15 minutes and let that pump run for about 20 minutes and bearly got a quart out. Used a hand pump and got the rest out in about 5 minutes

It is a very small, weak little pump. It is great for some applications, but will fall short for anything requiring much flow or lift. I believe it maxed out at 3'-4', but I only needed 18" of lift for my project so it was fine for my needs. Don't forget to put some sort of protection on it to prevent it from running dry, it will kill it.
