It will not pump with out the vent. I made my vent higher than the tub in case the pump malfuncions the tub would have to be full before it overlows

a vent will allow room for excess suds for proper drainage! my system is vented to a roof vent from previous plumbing connections.i pump into a laundry tub that has atrap so there is no odor and any backup will be in the tub!

the vent is to release the odor and smell of built up that stays at the bottom of the pump.

I put defense in the fabric softener/bleach compartment of my washer and it seems to work fine. I do use a large more industrial type washer which is used by all the tenants in my building.

Dear Mary, This covers the bathtub overflow drain so we can fill our tubs deeper. My home has overflow drains installed at a ridiculously shallow level. Can't have a relaxing soak in 4 inches of water. This is an effective, low cost solution. Works fine.

That groove on the large funnel is a vent to allow air to escape and prevent your fluid from bubbling over

The purpose is to rapidly fill the holding tank, thus allowing the added water to mix with what remained after the initial flush. If you feel the need to pressure wash the tank, you're probably going to have better success by injecting a pressure wand from the toilet area than trying to shove it up the drain line.

It vent out the back and needs to have space to circulate. If no space on top, then sides most have space to let air circulate.

If all your using it for is laundry or sink drain you don't need too because there is nothing harmful in the fumes. I tried to put a air valve on the vent pipe but it proven yes the sink from draining. Since it's not a true sump pump you should not be putting any human waste in it.

We use it to vent two bathrooms at once with a "Y" branch fitting to take humidity out. Works great,so for a basement, probably would work well also. We let it run all the time coupled with a speed control ,low when no showers are going on, and high with a shower.

Yes - I use it in high efficiency front loading machine (same amount my Mom uses in her old top loading machine) and I never have an issue with suds.

I used a flexible vent typically used for dryers. Not sure what size that it but pretty inexpensive.

Whatever you use - it's most important to use no more than a capful. Over-using detergent will lead to suds that buildup on the inside of the outer plastic tub. These suds are a food source for bacteria and mold to grow in the dark, moist environment of your washing machine.

Can be vented either upward or out of back depending upon how the exhaust motor is positioned. Instructions included, easy to follow.

I think that you may use a Y-connector--generally, those are intended for two garden hoses for homes. Such a Y-connector would have a valve for each side (H/C). You may need to attach small hoses to the outlets in order to attach the Y-connector--perhaps conventional washing machine hoses.. People with other models have mentioned this solution, anyway.

Its to vent the gas... Just like any other brake, it has holes or slots in it.

No this is to make the connection from vent pipe to dryer easy. If you need an vent less than 10$ at any hardware store but this item takes the bends out which can help prevent clogging and reduces fire hazards

You enter to clean your exhaust vent from the outside. My tee is also close to the floor. I only use my tee to empty the fly ash that accumulates during normal operation and cleaning.
