Manufacturer warranties are product-specific and vary by brand and model, with some pumps benefiting from warranty periods of up to 3 years. Full warranty details can be found on the relevant product page and on our Warranty Information page.
For more information, please visit: Warranty Information Page.
Manual pumps require you to turn them on and off, and shouldn't be left unattended. Once the water clears they'll overheat. Automatic pumps use a float switch or sensor to start and stop themselves as water rises and falls, so they suit unattended use.
Not always. A cheaper pump may be fine for occasional clean water use, but it may be unsuitable for flood water, dirty water, sewage, long hose runs or automatic operation. Choosing the wrong pump can mean poor performance, repeated cycling, blockages or early failure.
