Review title: Simply Doesn't Work
Product review: I bought this pump to help drain a flooded basement, but could not get it to work no matter what I did. I called Simer tech support and tried a few of their suggestions. Still no luck.I tried shorter discharge hoses (even no hose!), shorter extension cords (even plugged it right into the wall), and different depths of water. Every time the pump would switch on for 4 seconds, pump a little water out of the hose, then stop. Back on for a few seconds, then off. A few minutes later it would start the cycle again. To be fair, for the few seconds it worked, it pumped very well.According to the technician I spoke to, the pump senses when water is present or not based upon the electrical flow to the unit (which is why he suggested trying a shorter extension cord). It seems checking amperage isn't a very reliable method.I'm taking it back to the store.It's a real shame. My dad has a couple of Simers from the 80's that run like champs.
