LTA-1-ABC HARTELL DIRECT MOUNT SINK, Automatic laundry tray pump w/8 foot cord & plug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a direct replacement of the same type pump that quit working after many years of use. I looked into replacing the pump with one that has the waste water drain into a "box" which contains a pump - however that requires the installation of a vent pipe - vented to the outside - which was an unworkable option in my case. So I went with the direct replacement. I was impressed that the new pump came with most of the PVC fittings I needed to install it including the checkvalve and a 1/4 turn shutoff. The 1/4 shutoff is especially important because not only does it allow you to shut off any drain water back filling to the pump in the event you need to remove/replace it, but because you use the valve to "trim" the backpressure on the pump so that it doesn't cycle on and off continuously. My previous installation didn't have this and I believe it contributed to the pump eventually failing. Additionally the "kit" included a steel "strainer" that fits into the drain throat of the washbasin to catch larger debris to keep it from getting into the impellor. I recommend you pick up a PVC coupling / fitting before you install it, and then put it at the end of a 2 or 3" piece of PVC connected to the pump outlet and then put all the other hardware (check valve, shutoff valve etc) over on the other side of the coupling. That way if you have to take the pump off again in the future you can do so without having to hacksaw through the PVC pipe and then buy new hardware and fittings and cement it all back together again - instead you should loosen the coupling and then you can take the pump off by itself and then spin out the threaded fitting from the pump outlet.
