Hello help!!!! I have a basement door that is going to be repaired with steps leading to it the last rain left my basement with 6 inches of water Just bought a submersible pump here on amazon but was wondering if I could just stack these in front of...

Just stack them and then wet them with a hose and it will expand and get very heavy like a sandbag.

We never had to get that far, however I would try adding a crushed ice and water mixture then pouring it in to the water fill door opening, but carefully so you don' spill ice water all over your flooring and make a mess. I hope this helps you,Thanks,Jeff

The answer is complex. It depends on how far away your basement set up would be. I do not believe the water lines they supply are long enough for a long run. Also you may need to consider the pressurized holding tank may not push the water a great distance so you may have slow water coming out at the sink too. I am NOT a plumber but I believe that these factors would come into play. Hope that helps.

The Zoeller pumps are very reliable... But you might be risking a wet basement if it is in fact 20 yrs old. The only part that you need to keep an eye on is the switch. After 9 years, mine gave out. I have 2 pumps in the sump and the other took over. It is on a raised platform (approx. 2.5 inches) and only kicks in if unit 1 fails. As for the hole, it is supposed to be there. It is my understanding it needs to be there to prevent an airlock in the pump.it also keeps the gunk from forming around the bottom of the basin.

Liquid is sucked up through the red tube which approx 2 1/2 " pipe and blows it out through hose. It sounds like its a tight area so I doubt it would work. If there is not a huge amount of water try a large turkey Baster. It has a small tip and would suck up a cup each pump.

You may need a different kind of pump. This is an submersible pump...you stick it in the water. I wish it did work connected to the bib. Second, I have not tried to pump that high. I'd have to test it. I've done a 4-5 foot rise successfully. But nothing close to 8 feet. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has be able to get it to pump up to 8 feet.

I put the unit on a small platform (4" high) and used a cheap furnace moisture pump and some tubing to force the water out. There were shallow condensation pumps available but I didn't think they were worth the extra cost. Be careful with the amount of tension on the tubing, I broke my drain because I constantly move the thing depending on how I am using and where I am in the room. (my office and gym are one in the same plus some times you just want a fan blowing on you) I used a little marine repair putty to fix it and haven't had a problem

I use this product faithfully...For the basement you want to use the 4lb tub...I find they work best at a high level...They last for quite a while... you will soon see the water collect...I ALWAYS have one in basement and use he "hangers" as well...Works great for me...Good Luck!

The pump is meant to be submerged within a sump pit or similar. As water rises, the side-switch float rises eventually activating the pump. The switch float has a guard attached (metal loop) to keep it from hanging up against the side of the sump pit. (My previous pump had an unguarded float switch. The switch eventually jammed against the side of the pit and prevented the pump from operating. My basement flooded as a result.

It is a float switch, and did work sucessfully when the Metro Detroit area got a record rainfall in August 2014We got 5 inches of rain in an hour, the pump ran, and ran, to keep our basement dry

If this comes with two garden hose adapters (mine only had one, but that was a long time ago) then Pete B is correct, hose is all you need for moving water. If you use 5/8 garden hose in and out you will lose some potential from the pump but that may be OK for your application. I didn't try this because I wanted to put a foot valve on mine to make priming easier. Who knows, maybe somebody sells a 5/8 foot valve.

We've been snowbound, so it took a while to get to the pond. The box is 10" deep, and the pump will probably not work if the water level is any lower than 4 inches. Hope this helps.

I don't think this would work. The pump broke down. It's not very durable. I would try and find a different solution to your problem.

Just lift the pump out and pour it from the top. A small funnel might help.

Mine is already installed with calk under it, but it appears to measure about 1/2 inch high at the highest point after installation. After trying it for a couple of months, it seems to have solved the problem of rain getting into my basement. Wish I had installed this years ago.

i bought this pump to remove water from a low part of my backyard where heavy rainwater has leaked into my back bedroom 3x in 20 years. when the rainwater is higher than my foundation slab a corner of that room gets wet. i have never used the pump since i bought it. mostly i mop up the water with heavy towels and the water level drops below the slab when the rain stops. my neighbor installed an automatic pump to remove high water from his back yard.
