Can this be used with a sump sump?

It's a three way valve!!It's not a check valve, but I guess you could use it with a secondary discharge pipe so you can manually switch the location of the discharge.

I'm sure it could be used with a sump pump. The 1-1/2' openings are smooth, not threaded. I used an epoxy to glue adaptive fittings for my particular application. My system only runs 35 psi max, so I'm nowhere close to redlining the valve.

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.

I believe you can but the fitting size'a need to be compatible.make sure you fit properly and dump dish soap on all your fitting's ounce you put the gas to it,to check for leaks

Not all the back up pumps are designed to be hung above the primary pump. This particular unit is heavy and you will need to rest it on something if you need it higher. This unit is meant to sit next to the primary pump. Unless the sump pit is narrow you should install it on the same level as the primary.

I don't know if it's a good idea or not. In an earlier question I posted a link that can calculate the run time based on the wattage drawn by the device. I would check that. It might work but there might be much cheaper options for a sump pump.

It can be put in horizontally with no problems! One has to be cautious though; the length is pretty long and may not even fit horizontally in all sumps.

Most local authorities do not allow a water powered pump as a primary pump, only as a secondary, or emergency backup pump. I suppose they look at the water usage as an issue. As to whether it would function as a primary, that depends on the amount of water you get in the sump and the water supply to the pump.

No, its an 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" discharge. A 3/4 " hose would create too much back pressure. Also all sump pumps need to a check valve on them to guard against any backflow back flow.

Yes I am doing it now. If your sump pump runs all the time watch for a few days to make sure that this additional small amount of water does not cause a problem.

Not sure what you mean; I was able to place directly in the sump without any additional part--works great

Yes, I have a 2 inch diameter pipe on the my sump as well. The sensors are held on by a plastic tip strap. On at the bottom of the pipe where you want the empty level of water to be and one at the top where you want the pump o turn on. It's all pretty clear in the instructions. I wasn't sure of these when I got them but they are GREAT! Work just as described. Ended the short cycling of the pump for me.

I have no idea. I installed the pump this summer - am very happy but the flow of water in to the sump has been minimal. This spring should be a good test Sorry very happy with the pump though.

yes you can use both holes or either or none. My output goes through the side of the sump so I don't have anything other then the cord coming through the lid. Made a clear blank for the 2nd hole so I can look inside to check on things

I am using two for sump pumps. Be sure to use a check valve if you're lifting the water very much or it will back flow when it turns off causing it to keep cycling.

it is hard to say with out seeing what you are useing it for . on a sump pump you tie wrap it to the pipe or pump so it will hang down as the water rises the float will turn up and the pump will start and lower the water level

I don't see why not. I use it to fill a three person towable tube that probably has about the same volume.

Yes, provided that the line has threaded ends that match the size of the valve you are using. I use braided lines too.

No. You will need to put something under it if your sump is too deep. It runs best at around 7 inches of water. Great skimmer for the money.
