Will this work in an ejector sump as well? If I have a standard sump and ejector sump next to each other, can I get 2 floats connected into one contr

I would think that you could wire both floats into a single control so that either would set off the alarm but i have not tried it. Good luck.

Yes just get an extra float and connect it to the same terminals as the first float. If either sump gets too high it will sound the alarm.

Not sure how big your sump pump is but the watchdog float is about 2" in diameter. Hope that helps.

The adapter you will need is $50 (slightly more with shipping I imagine) - thanks to Floridasmile for providing that link with the info...I would have probably bought this without knowing that otherwise, and would have been disappointed to have to pay 50% of skimmer cost on top, just for an adapter. OTOH I bought a floating fountain that attaches to one of my returns (also not threaded, just plaster), and was able to get that to work somehow (and they had multiple adapters included with fountain, all of which assumed a threaded return). Maybe I could do the same with this.

I will tell you that I have an older pool and it worked. From what my pool guy said they for overlap as well. my pool is a beaded system. Sorry since I am not a pool expert look to see if your pool is beaded or not that that might help.

My pool only has a single skimmer with one return. Mine did have the eyeball thing though. In my case I simply unscrewed the eyeball and then screwed the Poolskim onto the threads from where the eyeball used to be. I'm pretty sure that you need threads to connect it to. If you don't you could probably visit a home improvement store and pick up some threaded coupling to make it work.

According to the description, and assuming you bought an Orbit booster pump separately from this kit, the pump comes fitted with 3/8" push-to-connect fittings that are compatible with the tubing in this kit. Regarding where to put it, the pump should be connected downstream of the filter assembly. This allows the pump to work with clean water. If you put the pump upstream of the filter, not only do you subject it to more sediment and mechanical wear, but you also lose pressure at the misting nozzles because the filter will act as a flow restrictor. So the outlet of the pump should be connected as close as possible to the point of use for maximum results. Hope one of these answers your question.

It would be preferable to have both primary and backup pumps sitting on the sump floor. You want both pumps stable and both floats unobstructed. Tweak the float for the backup so that it kicks on if the primary float doesn't then run a test to confirm that. I personally would not advise hanging it above the primary pump. Hope that helps

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

If I understand your question correctly, you're asking if you can use one check valve for both the sump pump and the battery backup, the answer is yes, as long as the two line tie into one line, but the system won't work as efficiently, you loose pressure from either pump, I had the same configuration and added a check valve for each system and the pumps work much more effectively and less noise from the systems.

The issue they are addressing is the back-pressure from the downstream end of the hose. There is no such issue with the distance from the house bibcock valve. The more water pressure available and the larger the garden hose diameter (3/4" if possible) the better the Injector will work. The physics behind the process is not "siphon" even though that is the common name. Truly the process is the Venturi Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect . A pressure washer uses the same effect to induct soap or chemicals into the water stream. Large Navy ships have an enclosed Fire Main that circulates water under pressure for the purpose of fighting an on-board fire. Rather than have the circulating water do nothing most of the time they have Inductors which are Venturi Effect devices that provide suction to the bilge (i.e.; a very powerful bilge pump). I don't know what your application is, but usually the Siphon Mixer (Inductor/Injector) can be located near the end of the garden hose. This reduces the back pressure and allows the Venturi Effect to work. Too much back pressure downstream from the Siphon Mixer will push water out the small hole in the mixer, rather than the desired suction through the small hole. The solution for larger installations where the long downstream pipe and sprinklers produce too much back pressure for the Venturi Effect to work is to inject the fertilizer (chemicals) at the input of a booster pump. The suction side of a water pump will suck fertilizer (chemicals) through a small pipe Tee'd into the larger suction supply pipe.

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.

Yes. However, the water pressure is compromised in both zones when you do this. I run mine one right after the other and it works great!

i don't know for sure, but it works fine in a standard sanitary sump. The widest point would be with the float switch pulled straight out horizontally...not sure where you'd find that dimension.

That's been my experience. I have to keep the sump perfectly level to get the results I want. So, I guess if you're able to do that it will function well.

I have used a couple of these style connectors. One works great .. no leaks etc. Another one , with a nozzle connected to it leaks slightly. Haven't been able to deremine why, but the leak, while a little annoying, hasn't been enough for me to delve into it any further. Bottom line: I will continue to use these as needed, all things considered, a quick and easy solution !

To use the 3101 adapter, you need to have an existing 3-tab Insinkerator-type flange already installed. The adapter works great if you're replacing an old 3-tab disposer with a new EZ mount. If this is a new installation and you have nothing installed, then you could not use the Blanco flange, which was designed for a 3-tab system, with the EZ mount unless you were able to scrounge up a 3-tab mount first and then use the adapter. It is unfortunate the the selection and quality ranges for 3-tab flanges drastically outnumber the available EZ mount flange options. If you want to stick with Waste King, exchange your EZ mount for a Legend 9980 model which has the 3-tab mount and WILL work with your flange without any additional adapters. That's what I'd do in your situation.

Not much help here. Never tried it, but shouldn't cause any problem that I can forsee if you have good connections and no fuel leaks. However, you may have a heart attack when you have to fill both tanks at once!
