Basement Laundry Tub Pumps

[CADru]

Hello, I need to replace my laundry tub pump. Any pros/cons on pump brands/types for laundry tub pumps? Looking at a few different brands and curious if anyone has any preference.

Liberty is a superior brand and we normally use the style at the top of your choices.
Never had any experience with the other type.

I second the Liberty. I have never used or seen any of the other brands

I'm not sure what # liberty pump it is but I know the 1 1/2" does not grind, the 2' does grind so that's the one I use

Was leaning towards the Liberty pump but, manufacture lists "Evaluated for water use only". Maybe I should consider a transfer pump, something heavy duty. I use my laundry tub as a clean up station. I dump paint down the drain but do clean brushes, spackle knifes, etc. The internals on the liberty Model 406 might get damaged.

What do you mean by "grind"? As in debris?

Thinking maybe not HD enough since I use the tub as a cleaning station, so, other then water. Liberty mentions water only pump.

Just answered my own question. Below from Liberty Pumps website:

>> A grinder pump works like a household garbage disposal, but on a larger scale for sewage waste. It grinds up solids and other difficult waste material into a fine slurry and pumps it into the sewer system. <<

Don’t use a grinder if it’s pumping onto a septic tank.
