Who Is Superior Pump Company?

Superior Pump Company begins in 1999 when Chip Michel, an entrepreneur, puts his plumbing knowledge to good use by introducing the Superior sump pump product line as another trade name for the generational family owned Michel Sales Company, based in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

In its early beginnings, Superior Pump Company made its sump pumps in the USA. However, as time marches on, marketing progresses and things change. Michel Sales Company keeps its trade brand Decko products; however as of 2020 their trade brand Superior Pump acquires a new majority owner, Pedrollo Group of Italy. Decko still sells Superior Pumps and provides sump pump support; however Pedrollo Group water pumps of Italy is the principal owner.

Where Are Superior Pump Sump Pumps Made Now?

Superior Pump sump pumps are now made in a Chinese factory managed by Superior Pump with Superior Pump employees. At this factory some of the pumps are completed and sold in the European Market. Others are shipped to the USA plant in Minnesota as pump bodies where their function such as sump, utility, sewage, pond, is determined and float switches are added.

Are Superior Pumps Good?

Superior pumps can be identified as good because they use the same features as other sump pump manufacturers.

- 100% solid copper is used for the motor starter windings.
- The motors are made by Superior to ensure a solid tight fit to prevent premature wear, vibration, additional noise and inefficiency.
- The power cord is a standard ten foot length with a piggyback plug. A piggyback plug is a great feature because if the switch fails the pump can be run manually or by any external standalone float switch.
- Dual seals on the motor plate prevent water from entering the motor housing which extends the life of the pump.

Superior Pump Problems And Solutions

Superior pumps do have problems but their problems have solutions. The three most common problems are a sticking float switch, clogged impeller and air lock.

- The float switch sticks when it becomes contaminated with hard water minerals. The solution for float sticking is cleaning the float magnet with vinegar periodically.
- Clogging happens when the bottom screen under the pump gets clogged with debris. The solution for a clogged screen is performing period screen cleaning.
- Air lock occurs when air becomes trapped in the pump volute preventing water from pumping. The Superior Pumps comes with a air lock hole in the volute. It just needs to be periodically cleaned so the pump keeps pumping water.

Superior Pump Sump Pumps Review By Specification Comparison

Because Superior Pump makes two electric sump pump types, the submersible and the non-submersible pedestal, it is necessary to review their common specifications and highlight their specification differences to determine which sump pump type is best for your water pumping needs.

Pictured is the Superior Pump Pedestal Pump and A Superior Pump Submersible Sump PUmp. The Pedestal pump motor sits abovwe the pit on a long column. The subermsible pump sits in water in the pit.
 
 
 

Specification Similarities And Differences

Warranty

A sump pumps warranty defines the period of time by which the manufacturer will stand by their sump pump and rectify issues. Usually that means a replacement of the failed pump with another pump just like it. Not all sump pumps have the same warranty period;; thus buying the one that has a longer warranty period can be a smart move.

One Year
Sump pumps with thermoplastic pump housing have a one year warranty Thermoplastic does not dissipate heat well thus the motor does not cool well and wears out much quicker.
- Those Superior Pump submersible models with thermoplastic housing are one-fourth HP Model 92250, one-third HP Models 92330,92370 and 92372), and one-half HP Models 92570 and 92572.
- Those Superior Pump pedestal non-submersible models with thermoplastic housing are one-third HP Model 92333 and one-half HP Model 92553.
 
Three Years
Sump pumps with cast iron or stainless steel pump housing have a three year warranty. Cast iron dissipates heat very well thus extending the motors life. Stainless steel does not dissipate heat as well as cast iron; however it does not heat up as quickly as cast iron.
- Those Superior Pump submersible models with cast iron housing are one-third HP Models 92331, 92341, 92352 and 92305 and one-half HP Models 92511, 92431, 92541, 92501, and 92507.
- Those Superior Pump pedestal non-submersible models with cast iron housing are one-third HP Model 92301 and one-half HP Model 92551.
- Those Superior Pump submersible models with stainless steel housing are one-half HP Model 92571, three-fourths HP Model 92751 and one HP Model 92151 and 92181.
 

Bottom Suction Screen

Superior pumps rely on bottom suction not top suction; therefore, a bottom screen or a vortex impeller are necessary. A bottom screen requires periodic cleaning; whereas a vortex impeller is designed to handle debris without a screen. We do not like to clean a bottom screen and therefore prefer a vortex impeller.

Submersible non-effluent sump pumps have a bottom screen requiring regular maintenance. Submersible effluent sump pumps do not; instead they have a non-clogging vortex impeller.
- Submersible models with a bottom screen include one-fourth HP Model 92250, one-third HP Models 92330,92370, 92331, 92341, 92352 and 92372, and one-half HP Models 92511, 92431, 92541, 92507. 92570 and 92572.
- No bottom screen exists on the submersible effluent sump pumps, models 92305, 92501, 92571, 92751, 92151 and 92181.
Pictured is the Superior Pump Submersible Sump Pump Pump bottom suction screen that needs cleaning periodically.
 

Impeller

Impellers are used to cause the water to flow from the pit and out the discharge pipe. We prefer a vortex impeller which is designed to handle small debris.

What is an impeller and how does it work? The impeller is a sump pump component that causes water to move from the pit when the motor is running. The shape and size of an impeller varies by sump pump type. The impeller in a submersible sump pump is round and spins creating centrifugal force when the motor is running. The centrifugal force causes the water to spin through the pump and out the discharge pipe. The impeller in a pedestal sump pump is oblong and creates suction when the motor is running. The suction causes the water to flow through the pump base and up the discharge pipe.

Impellers are made of thermoplastic for submersible sump pumps with a pump housing of thermoplastic. An impeller made of tough thermoplastic is not an issue if there are no small solids in the pit. Small solids can nick the impeller over time.
Pictured is the impellers for the Superior Pump Submersible and pedestal Sump Pump.
 
- Those models with a thermoplastic impeller are one-fourth HP Model 92250, one-third HP Models 92330, 92370 and 92372, and one-half HP Models 92570 and 92572.
 
Impellers are made from stainless steel if their pump housing is cast iron or stainless steel. A pedestal sump pump impeller is made of stainless steel whether the pump housing is thermoplastic or cast iron. Cast Iron and stainless steel have a much higher tensile strength than plastic.
- Those submersible models with a stainless impeller are one-third HP Models 92331, 92341, 92352 and 92305, one-half HP Models 92511, 92431, 92541, 92501, 92507 and 92571, three-fourths HP Model 92751 and one HP Models 92151 and 92181.
- The pedestal pump models with a stainless steel impeller are one-third HP Models 92333 and 92301. One-half HP Models are 92301 and 92551.
- One-half HP Models are 92301 and 92551.
 

Float Switch Options And Float Adjustment

Submersible sump pumps have more float switch options than pedestal sump pumps. Submersible sump pump float switch options are three: tether, vertical or add an external float switch of choice. A pedestal sump pump can only use the vertical float switch it is made with.

Pictured is the tether and vertical float and what adjustment can be made to the ON OFF height.

As for adjusting the float ON OFF height, the pedestal float offers the greatest opportunity. Its long rod allows the grommet to be placed closer or further from the switch at the top by several inches. On the other hand, the tether and vertical float rod of the submersible pump are much shorter. The submersible pump tether can be adjusted a few inches. The submersible vertical float grommet can be raised higher on the float rod; however a shorter ON OFF height leads to pump motor short cycling.

Pictured is the pedestal pump with its vertical float rod and what adjustment can be made to the ON OFF height.
 
- Those submersible models with a tether float are one-fourth HP Model 92250, one-third HP Models 92330, 92370, and 92305, one-half HP Models 92511, 92541, 92571, and 92572, and and one HP Model 92181.
- Those submersible models with a vertical float are one-third HP Models 92305, 92341, 92352 and 92372, and one-half HP Models 92511, 92541, 92571, and 92572, three-fourths HP Models 92751, and one HP Model 92151.
- Those pedestal models with a vertical float are one-third HP Models 92333 and 92301, one-half HP Models 92551 and 92553.
 

All submersible sump pump models listed above use either a tether or vertical float can use an external float switch of choice because their power cord uses a piggy back plug. We did this with a sump pump that had a piggyback plug. In fact we installed an electronic switch which has worked without fail since 2011. The switch we use is the Hydrocheck HC6000.

Pictured is an electronics switch that can be used with a Superior submersible sump pump. This is the Hydrochecl HC6000.

Horse Power

More horse power options exist with the submersible sump pumps, one-fourth, one-third, one-half, three-fourths and one horse power, while pedestal sump pump models offer only one-third, one-half horse power options.

Choosing the right sump horse power is important. Too little horse power can lead to pit over flow and flooding. Too much horse power results in motor short cycling. This causes premature motor wear. Determining the horse power needed for your water pumping needs is easy. Check out these five ways to calculate the size sump pump you need.

 

Amps And Electricity

Amps, electricity, used is less for a pedestal sump pumps at 3 to 4 Amps vs. 4 to 5 Amps for submersible sump pumps with non-vortex impellers and 7 to 8 Amps for submersible sump pumps with a vortex impeller.

 

Pumping Performance

Pump performance is published by the manufacturer for each sump pump model in the form of a chart or curve. Pump performance indicates how much water can be pumped at a specific height within a specific time period. Knowing this helps a homeowner to purchase the right sized sump pump. Pumping performance varies by horse power and even two pumps with the same horse power do not have the same pumping capability (GPH).

The pumping performance for a pedestal sump pump with the same horse power as a submersible sump pump and pumping the water at a ten foot vertical height is more: 45 GPM for the pedestal and 40 GPM for the submersible. The GPH for each model is listed below in the shopping section.

Pictured is a Pump Performance Curve. it shows gallons pumps per hour at different heights.
PAGE MENU
 

Power Cord Length

The power cord length for pedestal sump pumps is ten feet. The cord length for submersibles is ten feet or twenty-five feet depending upon the model.

Power cord length becomes important because an extension cord should not be used with a sump pump.

 

Discharge Port Diameter Size

The discharge pipe diameter size is 1-1/2 for pedestal and non-vortex impeller sump pumps and most vortex impeller sump pumps except for the models: 92581, 92571, 92731, 92751, 92181 and 92151. These models have a two inch port diameter size.

 

Shut Off Height

The shut off height for the submersible sump pumps is much greater: 25 feet for the submersible pumps regardless of horse power. The pedestal pump can only pump 5 GPM at a 25 foot vertical height.

 

Dual Role Capability

Converting a sump pump into a utility pump can only be done with a submersible sump pump. This is not possible with a pedestal pump.

Superior Pump Pedestal vs Submersible Sump Pump

Pedestal and submersible sump pumps do have their individual specification similarities and differences. But as a sump pump type which is better? Does one have more advantages and disadvantages than the other? Is the submersible sump pump better than the pedestal sump pump? Let's look at their pros and cons.

 
 
 

Pedestal Sump Pump Pros Cons

Pros

Pedestal sump pumps have two noticeable advantages.

- Easy to access and maintain due to above-ground installation. Replacing the float switch is easier because the switch sits above the pit out of the water. Replacing the switch for the submersibles is relatively easy; however it may be necessary to remove the pump from the pit.
- Has a longer life span because the motor and switch are not submersed in the water.
Pictured is an Installed pedestal sump pump to show its advantage oif easy maintenace because its motor is above ground.
 

Cons

- The noise is greater because the motor is not surrounded by the pit walls which absorb some of the motor and water pumping sound.
- Not as safe for pets and young kids because the motor, float rod and support column for the motor sit above the pit.
- Prone to overheating easier because it can only be air-cooled.
- Tend to vibrate more than submersible pumps
- Require a larger pit diameter.
 
 
 

Submersible Sump Pump Pros Cons

Pros

Submersible sump pumps have three noticeable advantages.

- More powerful than pedestal pumps, making them suitable for heavy-duty use. Pedestal pumps offer one-third and one-half horse power while submersible pumps offer one-third, one-half, three-fourths, one horse power.
- Operates more quietly than pedestal pumps due to being submerged in water, surrounded by basin walls and being below floor level.
- More discreet due to being installed below floor level in the pit. The pump is not seen especially if the pit has a cover.
Pictured is an Installed submersible sump pump to show its more difficult to maintain because its in the pit below floor level.
 

Cons

Submersible sump pump advantages far outweigh their disadvantages.

- Can be more difficult to access and maintain due to being installed below ground.
 
 
 

Superior Sump Pump Conclusion

Our preference is a submersible sump pump because it is out of sight and offers heavy duty pump performance options. We need a heavy duty sump pump because we get very heavy rains and are located in a high water table area; however both sump pump types do the job. The best primary sump pump for you is the one that best meets your water pumping needs and preferences.

We prefer a cast iron, effluent pump because it is more durable and a vortex impeller does not clog. We don't like to periodically clean a bottom screen. Plus the cast iron pumps have a three year warranty.

The other feature that stands out is the fact that Superior pumps have a standard ten foot power cord because an extension cord should not be used with a sump pump. It will trip the circuit breaker. Also the shut off height is 25 feet which means then pumping performance for the Superior Pump meets the needs of most homeowners.

The fact that a submersible pump can be converted to a utility pump is an attractive feature. That's like getting two pumps for the price of one.

It is good to know that it is easy to replace the sump pump float switch. We would agree that a smart home owner always has a replacement switch on hand.

It is important to remember that primary pumps do fail or cannot run when the electricity is out. Superior Pump provides a backup sump pump to handle these emergency situations.

How To Use A Superior Sump Pump As A Utility Pump

Converting a Superior sump pump to a utility pump is easy.

Converting a sump pump into a utility pump can only be done with a submersible sump pump that has a piggyback plug and two cords: one for the float and one for the motor. This is not possible with a pedestal pump.

There are six key steps to perform to convert a sump pump into a utility pump.

1) Unplug the pump cord from the wall socket. Then unplug the float switch from the motor cord piggyback plug.
2) Loosen the screws attaching the float to the sump pump to remove the float from the pump.
3) Place the pump on a flat surface where it is to be used.
4) Attach a temporary discharge hose to the pump discharge port to control where the unwanted water is to be pumped.
5) Plug the motor cord in the wall socket and monitor the pump as it pumps the water.
These are the basic steps for converting a sump pump into an utility pump.

Superior Pump Emergency Backup Sump Pump

All Superior Pump sump pumps need an emergency backup sump pump. At some point the electricity or the electric pump float switch will fail during heavy rainstorms. This is when an emergency backup sump pump is so very helpful. Superior Pump emergency backup sump pumps are powered by batteries.

The Superior Pump battery backup sump pump specifications show that models 92900 and 92910 are the same pump with a different float switch style. So if you prefer a tether float, the model 92900 is best. If you prefer a tether float, the model 92910 is best.

The remaining specifications to take note of are ...

- The pumping performance of 1080 GPH at a ten foot vertical height which is equivalent to a one-third horse power pump
- The pump housing and impeller are made of thermoplastic
- A bottom screen is unnecessary because it uses top suction
- The discharge size accommodates both a 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 inch diameter PVC pipe
- The battery charger is 2 Amps which is stronger than some brands
- The power cord is ten feet
- Warning lights and sounds let the home owner know the system is running. It also lets the home owner know when the battery power is depleted and the entire system is no longer functioning
 

A wise homeowner installs a battery backup sump pump to provide protection when the electric pump fails.

Battery Backup Sump Pump Pros Cons

Pros

- Float options are available: a tether float with model 92900 and a vertical float with model 92910. The tether float with required more pit diameter and can get hung up in the pit much easier.
- Budget friendly. The Superior Pump backup sump pump are very low cost. Undoubtedly this is because they are made in China and they are not Wi-Fi enabled.
- Their thermoplastic body makes them light weight and pump can be installed above the primary sump pump in line with the existing discharge pipe. Mounting hardware is included.
- Pumping performance is equivalent to a one-third horse power primary pump which is the sufficient for a majority of homeowners.
- Run time length can be increased by choosing a battery with more Amp hours: The 2 Amp charger works with a 40, 75 or 100 Amp hours. The higher the Amp hours the longer the run time. A battery group size 27 will fit in the plastic battery box.
- Alarm and control unit have fuses which can be easily replaced and the alarm can be muted.
Pictured is the Superior Pump Battery backup sump pumps Models 92900 and 9210 Installation View.
 

Cons

- Only a one year warranty is offered. Having a longer warranty is both good and bad because a backup system may not be used often even during a three year warranty period.
- The pumping performance is not sufficient where an electric one-half horse power pump is necessary.
- Wi-Fi connectivity is not offered.
Pictured is the Superior Pump Battery backup sump pumps Specifications.
 

Superior Battery Backup Sump Pump Conclusion

This is a very budget friendly and easy way to add a battery backup sump pump to your pit if your home only requires a one-third horse powered electric sump pump. Both the models backup pump 92900 and 92910 provide the basic features of a battery backup sump pump.

Superior Pump Pre-Assembled Sump Pump Install

Installing a pre-assembled combination sump pump with primary electric pump and a battery backup pump is easy. Here are the basic steps.

1) Unplug the old pump from wall socket.

2) Loosen the check valve bottom end so the discharge pipe is loose.

3) Remove the old pump from the sump pit. Be prepared to catch water that may have remained in the old pump.

Pictured is the removal of an old Superior sump pump from the pit.

4) Lower the new Superior pre-assembled pump kit into the pit.

5) Check to see if the discharge pipe is long enough or too long. If the PVC pipe is too long remove the upper end of the check valve and shorten the pipe. Using a hack saw works if you do not have an electric saw.

Pictured is the homeowner lowering the new pre-assembled sump ump into the pit.

6) Tighten the check valve. It is always best to install a new check valve when a new pump is installed. The check valve prevents water from returning to the pit and causing s sump pump to pump the same water more than once.

7) Plug the electric cord into the wall socket. Also make sure the battery backup pump is in its battery box and the batteries are hooked up to the control unit. Then plug in the battery backup pump battery charger into the wall socket.

8) Pour water in the pit and test both pumps to make sure there are no leaks and they function properly.

No leaks!! Great! Congratulations on your new Superior Pump pre-assembled combination sump pump kit install.

Superior Pump Sewage Pump

Superior Pump sewage pumps are built much like sump pumps. They both remove waste water; however sewage pumps are made to remove raw sewage. Sewage pumps are more expensive than sump pumps because of their more elaborate features.

Sewage pumps have three noticeable differences. 1) The volute is bigger to handle the flow through of two inch solids; 2) Its discharge port diameter is two inches to fit with two inch diameter discharge pipes; 3) A vortex impeller is used to handle two inch solids.

Sewage pumps are designed to handle only raw sewage and toilet paper. Only a grinder pump can cut and surrey other materisls. Superior sewage pumps are not grinder pumps.

Superior Pump sewage pump features include the ability to easily handle two inch solids, lift water and sewage up to 25 feet of vertical height, and handle solids without getting clogged because of a vortex impeller. They have a one year warranty and a thermoplastic non-clogging impeller. Feature options include a tether or vertical float, a cast iron or stainless steel body.

The most popular models are Model 93501, 93782, 93781 and 93775.

- Model 93501 is a electric sewage pump with one-half horse power, cast iron pump housing, a non-clogging vortex impeller made of thermoplastic. It uses a tether float switch with an ON height of 16 inches and OFF height of 8 inches, has a 2 inch discharge port, uses 7.6 Amps, pumps 3,600 GPH at a 10 foot vertical height with a 10 foot motor cord and has a one year warranty.

- Model 93781 is a electric sewage pump with one-half horse power, cast iron pump housing, a non-clogging vortex impeller made of thermoplastic. It uses a tether float switch with an ON height of 17 inches and OFF height of 9 inches, has a 2 inch discharge port, uses 12 Amps, pumps 5,820 GPH at a 10 foot vertical height with a 15 foot motor cord and has a one year warranty.

Superior Pump Utility Pump

Superior Pump utility pumps are handy pumps because they are small, portable, versatile and do not require submersion in water to operate. This review presents the pros and cons of Superior Pump utility pumps to help you decide if a utility pump would help with your water pumping needs.

Pictured is a Superior Utilily Pump that is very versatile.
 
 
 

Superior Pump Utility Pump Pros Cons

Superior Pumps utility pumps offer many advantages with few disadvantages. Let's look at those pros and cons now.

Pros

- Versatility: Utility pumps can handle various liquids, including water, oil, and chemicals; however it is best to use special pumps designed specifically for fluids other than water.
- Portability: Utility pumps are lightweight and compact, making them easy to transport and move around. Their handle is made for lifting and moving.
- Convenience: These pumps are designed for quick and easy setup, allowing for efficient water transfer. Their high level of power throws water to another location very easily. This is especially true for the one horse power pump model 91197.
- Efficiency: These pumps are designed to provide high flow rates, enabling fast pumping and drainage. The fastest model is the 91197 which pumps 3,840 gallons per hour at a ten foot height and can life water up to 30 feet of vertical height.

Cons

- Limited Capacity: Utility pumps typically have a limited pumping capacity compared to larger, specialized pumps such as a sump pump. For Example, model 91197 is a one horse power utility pump that pumps 3,840 GPH at a 10 foot height. Model 92101 is a one horse power sump pump that has a higher GPH of 4,500 at a 10 foot vertical height.
- Not Suitable for Solids: Superior Pump utility pumps cannot handle solids; attempting to pump materials with solids may cause clogging or damage to the pump; however Superior Pumps effluent sump pumps can handle solids because of their non-clogging vortex impeller. The Superior Sump Pump models that can handle solids are Models 92305, 92501, 92571, 92751, 92151 and 92181.
- Limited Warranty: Superior utility pumps come with a limited warranty coverage compared to Superior Sump Pumps. For example, even Superior stainless steel utility pumps have a one year warranty while cast iron and stainless steel housing sump pumps have three year warranties. Three year warranties are offered for sump pump models: 92331, 92341, 92352, 92305, 92511, 92431, 92541, 92501, 92507, 92301, 92551, 92571, 92751, 92151 and 92181.
- Limited control: Utility pumps must be run manually because they have no float switch to start and stop them automatically based on water level.
