Zoeller Pump Company’s Model 98 Sump Pumps can offer protection and prevent flooding after heavy rainfall or storms. Underneath your structure, pits collect water. If the water level reaches a certain point, automatic or manual settings on the machine can efficiently pump that water away from your property’s foundation. How often the pump runs depends on the amount of moisture in the space.

A corrosion-resistant finish over cast iron construction provides incredible strength and durability, and stainless steel screws assembling the seal, arm, handle, and guard stave off rust. The pump uses a 1 ½-inch discharge pipe and can pass spherical solids up to ½ inch in diameter. The lack of screen keeps the unit running smoothly.

We offer accessories such as alarm systems with simplex or duplex control panels designed to keep you informed about your sump pump’s water level. The alarm gives you peace of mind that your pump is operating as intended.

    Consult Factory for Special Applications

    • Electrical alternators for duplex systems are available and supplied with an alarm
    • Mechanical alternators for duplex systems are available with or without alarm switches
    • Variable level float switches are available for controlling single and three phase systems
    • Double piggyback, variable level float switches are available for variable level long cycle controls
    • Refer to FM1922 and FM0806 for temperatures above 130 °F (54 °C)

    Notes

    The sizing of effluent systems normally requires variable level float(s) controls and properly sized basins to achieve required pumping cycles or dosing timers with non-automatic pumps.

    Reserve Powered Design.
    For unusual conditions a reserve safety factor is engineered into the design of every Zoeller pump.
