Will this work in my yard at the property line? My neighbor refuses to discharge their sump pump onto their own property, so it runs off in my yard.

Yes- place it at the edge of their yard- it will swell & create a barrier to keep the mess in the neighbor's yard!

Quick damn did not work for me as flooding was too much for it! If small amount of water, then maybe it will work!

I wouldn't suggest this. There will probably be water around and this device isn't made for anything wet nor the surges your pump will produce. You can also purchase a sump pump cheaper. Home Depot carries batteries $200 and up that would work better for your purpose.

I'm not able to answer your question. I'm still using factory settings. My power has gone out and the pump continues to run. So I would guess that if you were away from home, the pump would continue to run. Just maybe not at the settings you prefer. Just a guess. Give Hatward a call.

i am sure it would work if you dont let debris get in it at the pump. This is a 12 volt pump so you would need a power converter or a battery closeby. There are 120volt pumps for ponds that are made for this kind of work that might be more appropriate.

Mine makes a little sound but I would say less than the regular sump pump does. As long as your not paying for the water you should be fine. The pump itself is pretty powerful and handles things no problem for me. My sump runs a lot and so the backup is a must. I've never see them used as the primary but I don't see why it wouldn't work?

This pump is meant to draw water from a source (ie pond, containment etc)....I would look at purchasing a sprinkler boooster pump for your purpose.

No that wouldn't work. You need water pressure from a live line to make it work.

No it won't work. The pump does not work in your situation. It's lack of an on off switch, instead it uses the pressure of a water tank to turn on and off the pump.

This unit only requires a .4 GPM flow rate to ignite. Your water pressure has little to do with it, so it will likely work just fine. That said, if your water pressure is "all over the place", you may need a new pressure tank. It has a pressurized bladder in it that helps stabilize the water pressure as the pump turns on and off. I have a well, and the water heater works great, by the way. Good luck.

For sure it works anywhere on the floor when it senses dampness. I think the sensor would work on any surface that becomes wet. It is independent of the sump pump. It is however wired to the unit ( about 12 feet), but the directions tell you what gauge to use, should you wish a longer length.

Yes it will,if you have it close enough. I have mine right by my sump pump.

I would use one off the discharge of each pump, then into a "Y" connection to the outlet. Otherwise, you risk pumping through the other pump right back into the sump. Staggering the height of the pumps would prevent both pumps from coming on at the same time.

Yes you can. I am using it right now to divert the water from the sump pump to the street or the back yard. In the winter I cannot divert it to the street because it will freeze on the sidewalk or the street. So it drains in the back yard. When temps are above 32 degrees then I change it to the street. Works very well.

It has a Water Detection Sensor that you can add. It has a phone cord and phone cord jack in the unit that it plugs into. Not sure if your sump pump switch would be compatible. But phone cord is cheap and you can run additional cord if needed from the unit to the sump and use the sensor. That way it wouldn't alarm every time your sump kicked in, but rather would only alarm if the sump ran over onto the floor. The sensor is worth the extra $ if it doesn't come with the unit you buy. I have one that has been in service for 3 or 4 years and still works flawlessly. I will say this unit is more dependable then some others on the market. Beware.

This is a good pump, although not designed for that purpose, I do believe it would pump that distance. If you are pumping through hose the auto shut off feature may not work well. I would use pvc.

Yes - it could be used that way. It essentially does the same thing as every other sump pump: it removes water from the sump when the water level reaches a certain level. That said... having your sump overflow is one of those things that will NEVER happen in 100 years... until it does. Having a backup sump pump really is a very wise thing to do. The thing to remember is that sump systems can fail - not just the sump pump: check valves fail... drainage plumbing can clog, etc. In your case, having a cheap electric sump pump (which will seldom run) and a Liberty Sump Jet backup is the best way to go! If you want to throw caution to the wind... you could use the Liberty Sump Jet as your primary unit. Yes - it could be used that way.

If the sump area is small and your discharge is at a somewhat high elevation, the water will flow back in and cause the pump to continue to restart. I would suggest you install an inline check valve just after the pump discharge.
