Zoeller 72 Aqua-Mate

Today I am highlighting the Zoeller 72  sump pump. The Zoeller model 72 is part of the “Aqua-Mate” series and is designed expressly for residential or light commercial groundwater and effluent applications.

The Zoeller 72 can handle groundwater or effluent with up to ⅜” spherical solids and is completely submersible in waters up to 110°F.

Construction

The Zoeller 72 features an inner stainless steel can which is designed to dissipate heat from the motor for a long service life. The motor also has thermal overload protection with an engineered plastic motor housing. The pump volute, base, and non-clog vortex impeller are all made of engineered plastic as well.

The automatic model, that is linked below, includes a polypropylene float to activate a 2-pole mechanical switch. The switch arm is stainless steel and the float guard is plastic. A carry handle is installed at the top of the pump for convenient transport and placement. The manual model, which is also linked below, uses a variable control system.

Both models include a UL listed power cord with 3-prong plug.

All in all, this is a solid sump pump for your groundwater needs.
