Easier option than the traditional pump with vent pipe
By Flynorth
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.

Very nice pump
By E. Soh
I installed this unit in a basement mini bar. It fits easily in an 18" wide sink cabinet. Installation was quite easy as all the necessary parts were included. The only additional part I needed to purchase was a bushing to step up from 1" PVC that is included to 1.5" PVC for the rest of the drain run. I chose this product because it mounts directly to the sink drain and because it doesn't need an air vent. It runs great after adjusting the outlet valve so that it cycles appropriately. When the water is running full blast, the pump runs continuously and water does not accumulate in the sink. At less than max output, the pump cycles on and off as needed. The pump is a bit louder than I expected. I'd equate it to the sound of a dishwasher running.Overall, despite a little noise, it is a great product.

Hartell Direct Mount UnderSink Pump
By Francis Moritz
It was a bit difficult to install, but that may just be the result of a small space under the sink with which to work. Since installation, it has worked flawlessly and with little noise.
