I install quality pumps rather than hardware store stuff built to a price point. Brand names like Barnes, Gould or Liberty. In my own home I’m forgetting the brand I have (it’s one of the first two brands named) but it’s been in for 9 years since I built the house and it works perfectly, it’s serving a 50 gallon drum sump that catches all of my weeping tile. The top of the drum is about 4 to 5 feet below my basement floor so there’s lots of leeway for water volume should it ever need repair, I had to exit the hole I hand dug for it by ladder and built a riser box over it out of pressure treated plywood & lumber. I have a sump alarm wired in and also a back-up manual switch that allows me to test or cycle the pump without even having to lift the sump cover. If my float switch goes defective I can simply engage the pump manually.
