Should there still be water in the sink after pump shuts off? I still have water that just comes over the drain.

Have had no water in sink. you need to adj pressure switch and make sure your ball valve is installed properly. if you lookin drain you will see water in drain, but not in sink

Yes. At least mine does that too. The pressure switch shuts off before the sink is empty. I bypass the switch to get the sink totally empty, just be careful not to run it dry for any amount of time.
1030943
Yes. It runs on a pressure switch that isn't sensitive enough to detect less than an inch or two of water. Depending on how high it's lifting water, a little can get past the check valve leaving you with some in the sink. A better valve might help. I wired an AC relay in parallel so I can operate it by a push button switch switch when I want to get it empty.

Yes that is normal! I found that if I turn an adjustment screw that is located just above the pump on that diaphragm it will lower that level it's a small screw with a triangular slot will have to buy a special screwdriver for turning it . I believe turning it in raises the water level turning it out lowered the Water level! But after I played with it I ended up pretty much back in the same spot because if you lower-level too much it sucks air . Then cycles on and Ó ff too much! I had a previous pump for 15 years at my house and it acted the same way. I hope that helps

the pump is to close to the sink. it needs to be dropped down so more water pressure will run the pump longer and drain more out of your sink.

yes there will be about an half an in of water but its normal I am happy with the pump and the price was right.

I never have any sitting water in the sink itself, I assume theres a small amount in the pipe below the sink, which is why i always run the drain an extra couple seconds after use. But I never have any sitting in sink itself. Mine was professionally installed though, so I can't be of much help on if yours is installed incorrectly.

We do leave it on all the time. I only turn it off to fill it. The only downside to leaving it on is making sure you don't get too close to the sensing device when you're near it. I solved that by just pushing it back away from the sink enough that I don't set it off. But you have to get really close to set it off anyway,....

I haven't experienced any noise after the pump stops and the check valve closes. It sounds like the valve is leaking a little bit and allowing water to drain back.

It has an automatic float that determines how much to pump out. You'll find it shuts off just above the bottom of the the impeller blade. This is normal on all the sewage pumps I've used over the 25 years I've been using them.

That is just how this pump works. You can slap the water on top of the drain several times to evacuate whatever is left in this sink. I always wondered if a more expensive pump would not work like this.

Just thought of one tiny thing... If water seeps out of the sink when drain is closed, unscrew the ring and reset it with more plumbers putty. This happened to us initially but adding more putty sealed it up and we have not had any trouble at all.

The water drains off the mat and ends up underneath it, mine does the same and i just hang it over the sink at the end of the day to let it dry overnight and that way mine never gets slimy or mouldy on the bottom.

No, it does not shut off when full. Water runs out in the floor.Other than that, it works good. How do I correct this?

I can't see any reason why the pump needs to be shut off. If there are small leaks, the pump may keep up with them. Depending on the pump design, you can get problems if you leave the pump to tank tube open, and then shut off the pump....it may draw oil out of the pump, and into your tank

As far as I'm concerned, there are zero drainage issues. The sink won't be completely dry after it drains, but no sink is. There is no standing water, if that is your concern.

We have not had that problem. It sounds like your faucet is not completely turned off. We do keep the nozzle handle positioned in open position when off so the hose completely drains.

Keep a little water in it all the time. The only time I totally drain mine is to clean it.

I have used it in the sink and it worked well. Get a lot of water in the sink and if it is a double sing have someone hold a washcloth on on of the sinks and just start pumping. Ours was not draining at all and it knocked it loose.

I never use the drain but I do use the timer. So I set it for 3 or 4 hours and then empty it when it shuts off.

Yes you need to drain it. If you are running it continuously and you don't drain it the water will drain onto your floor.

The impeller should move freely all the way around. There could be something in a vein off the impeller. I didn't try and take mine apart. I removed a quarter out of mine with some hooks. Still didn't drain properly so i just bought a new pump. Works great still and it's been a couple of years

Check these things. 1. Is main breaker on? 2. Is water passing through system? 3. Is there sufficient back pressure. If water is not restricted on discharge side of pump, the lack of back pressure will not allow unit to go on. I used a ball cock valve closed one third to acjieve results. jib73@aol.com. good luck.
