We installed these Zoeller pumps in 2007. This footage was recorded in 2014. The pumps are part of our TripleSafe sump pump system with a battery backup. For seven years they never received any maintenance. Over the years there was a buildup of iron bacteria and it's waste product iron ochre. It caused the sump pumps to fail and the drain outlets to clog. As a result, the sump pumps can barely keep up with the water in the basement. This is what iron ochre does to a sump pump.
With proper maintenance we could have kept the pumps clean and avoided all of this backed up water. The backed up water caused mud to form, leading to a clogged sump pump. It took over eight days after the sump pump replacement for the water level to go down. Hundreds of dollars were needlessly spent on replacing these pumps. Although service is optional, we recommend it for this reason.
