This is a standard sewage pump. There is a standard bucket they. Sell for it

as long as the tank is deep enough to accept the rod length you will be fine

I believe it would need to be horizontal. I don't think that it would seal correctly otherwise. The pressure of the water wouldn't be equal on the float, so I am afraid it wouldn't seat.

About 3 feet. I had to go buy more because I didn't want the thing right next to the tank for aesthetic reasons.

No: The float will start when it is at the top of the pump. Probably about 6"

the height of thewater feed is adjustable. My water tanks are about 12 inches high.

the outside rail at the bottom is what you should use for the depth. when closed nothing extends back beyond that point.

Not really sure but I believe it's only a couple of inches. The float is in the dark color area of the pump.

The dept includes the side float pieces so just think of it being about 12" less in depth. I am 5'8 and it comes up to my waist.

the overflow box requires a minimum of 4.5 inches between the tank and the wall.

It gets filled to the bottom edge of the large inflated ring. They are not 48" deep with water. Your daughter should be fine.

My set up has 10" from the bottom of pit to drain tile and my float switch is even with the drain tile,this set-up works great, this is the best sump pump i have ever used,quiet,fast and uses less energy than otherstandard pumps.The float switch attaches to the outlet pipe and can be adjusted to any position.Hope this helps.

Its just a bit under 12 inches from bottom of tank to top of hood without including the clearance on top that you might want.

The diameter of the round plastic piece that hangs under the unit is 3 inches. It isn't actually a float. It hangs down 4 inches from bottom of the bottom tank. The most important thing to know about this unit is that it's NOT atmospheric pressurized like the Pur filtration system. The top part isn't really a water tank, it's just a glorified funnel. All the water is stored in the bottom tank. You can and will overflow the bottom tank if you add too much water to the top unit. I have gotten into the habit of adding two gallons to the top as soon as the unit is out of water. You probably could add another half gallon if you needed it. But with two gallons the unit doesn't overflow onto the floor. The diameter of the round plastic piece that hangs under the unit is 3 inches. It isn't actually a float.

Measure the top of your tank, as long as its within that range it should be just fine

I bought 2. Gave me about a 2" depth and then I carefully covered with gravel to avoid a massive cloud of dirty water. I filled the tank with water after it was all installed

No, you must remove the tank from base and fill from the bottom ( not that difficult )
