I'm very happy to replace my old system with this new one and given the pipework was already in place, I did it myself and it was super easy to swap out the pump and control unit by simply disconnecting the pipes under the check values. I pulled my 8 year old pump out and it was still in very good looking condition, compared to my main pump (an excellent brand pump), which is cast iron and submerged and been installed for less than 6 months and already corroding. The fact that its plastic is not a negative as so many people think. But, the pump is excellent and very reliable. I had an experience with a battery 5+ years old and in a rain storm where the pump needed to run very frequently over basically the course of 24 hours during a major power outage and it failed over night, so keep up on the battery for max safety. It needs maintenance (add distilled water) every 6 months, and to be safe, I recommend replacing the battery between years 3-4. The issue with the overall system is that you need to keep up with the battery (sold separately).
It does have WIFI alert capability, but it's sold separately, and seems its only one way alerts. This new unit seems to be about exactly the same as the old unit. The pump and electronics were very reliable for those 8 years. I just purchased this model to replace the same model that I owned for about 8 years (the control unit finally failed and would not charge the battery).
