Yes you're right this one was second one past year but in this case that pump has to be externally quiet and pump water to 120g tank from the basement to first floor...
What pump you run now?

Im running the barracuda now. I had the same type of setup. From the basement to first floor. The blowhole is the worst pump ever.

I keep a spare return pump, since this happened to me once. My sumps are under cabinet, so I don't know if what I have is strong enough. I'm also in Bethpage, but if it's an emergency, let me know if he's interested. I think the spare is a mag 24.

I didn't know that blowhole is garbage :-/
I sent an email to the manufacturer already cause this is unacceptable, 2 pumps in one year...
Now I have homework to check which pump she can buy as a replacement...
