Hevy duty one made by wagners I think is the name all solid steel even the inner parts. that was near $425. my back up installed pump is a 1/3rd horse fro sears.$179. same as home depot . life time guarntee. tape your reciepts inside a sandwich bag and the to the pipe that takes out your water. actually a friend blew out his sears pump because he was pumping out a neighbos cellar and with no water the pump was going bad. tok it to sears. they ran his license and here you go sir. oh that sears is a 1/3rd Horse with a 1 1/4 solid pvc pumping capacityl. the big pump is a 1/2 horse which is connected to a 1 1/2 inch pvc discharge pipe. the third pump we have in a 3 by 3 foot pit is a I think 1/4 horse battery back up pump which I am trying to get a new fuse for. the battery seems to be about the size of a motorcycle battery. that pump only comes on with a beep beep beep when all powr is off and I have not yet turned on the generator. all that snow you got rJ will , as you will know turn into water which will find its way to your cellar/ basement. good luck.Lee
