1/2 HP 115V Submersible Sump Pump
The Zoeller M137 is a submersible sump pump rated at 1/2 horsepower and 115 volts AC. It uses a vertical float switch with an integral electrical connection for automatic operation. The pump body is constructed from cast iron with a bronze and cast iron impeller. It is designed for residential drainage and water removal tasks.
Sustained flow at increasing head heights
At 5 feet of head the pump delivers 90 gallons per minute, falling to 79 gpm at 10 feet and 58 gpm at 15 feet. At 20 feet of head the flow rate is 36 gpm before reaching a maximum shut-off head of 26 feet. The motor draws 10.7 amps at 60 Hz during continuous operation. Performance declines steadily as discharge head increases.
Vertical float needs 18 inch pit diameter
Installation requires a minimum sump pit diameter of 18 inches to accommodate the vertical float switch travel between the 2 3/4 inch off point and 10 inch on point. The pump body diameter is 11 3/4 inches. The carbon and ceramic shaft seal resists wear but debris can impede float movement. Buyers needing a tethered switch or a smaller basin should consider a different configuration.
