I can see a air pump but does it come with a sump pump to circulate the water and what is the blue line for? a vent or drain? Thank you

The water farm uses the air pump to circulate the water. It's the only pump required. The blue tube serves a dual purpose: 1. to see water level from the outside 2. the drain tube.

The air pump Does circulate the water, it forces the water in the bucket up a tube attached to the drip ring. The blue line is a tube that shows you the water level. It attaches to the outside of the bucket and is held in place by a small plastic ring that attaches to the top of the bucket. This tube swivels so it could be used to drain the bucket.

The air pump is what circulates the water, it pushes the solution up tube and out through the drip ring. The blue tube is the water level indicator to let you know how much is the reservoir. It doubles as an easy drain for changing the solution

It means the pump draws water from the top of the cast base vs. the underneath. Either way it is still drawing all the water from near the bottom of the sump basin. The top design just avoids sucking up dirt and sludge from the bottom of the sump basin. You can see the protected inlet screen built into the bottom black cast iron base.This is a good pump overall.

Yes, you need an air pump. This diffuser is heavy enough to stay where you place it after connecting it to the air pump by air tube. I use two diffusers to really aerate my water.

it does have a hose connection and comes with a a short hose, however it doesn't have a pump...the unit would have to be higher than the wash bin for the water to drain and not backup into the unit

It has a Water Detection Sensor that you can add. It has a phone cord and phone cord jack in the unit that it plugs into. Not sure if your sump pump switch would be compatible. But phone cord is cheap and you can run additional cord if needed from the unit to the sump and use the sensor. That way it wouldn't alarm every time your sump kicked in, but rather would only alarm if the sump ran over onto the floor. The sensor is worth the extra $ if it doesn't come with the unit you buy. I have one that has been in service for 3 or 4 years and still works flawlessly. I will say this unit is more dependable then some others on the market. Beware.

1) you plug the switch in the outlet and plug the sump pump to the switch2) you attach the high sensor where the pump will turn on, the pump will run until the water goes below the low sensor.Works great for me

It is an in sump skimmer. It works OK once you get it dialed in. Over all, but bad for the price, but you do have to toy with it.

it is a setup to be placed into your sump. I had mine sitting on the outside with only the pump inside and it did not perform very well. Now I have it inside the sump and it has been working GREAT.Thanks,

it is hard to say with out seeing what you are useing it for . on a sump pump you tie wrap it to the pipe or pump so it will hang down as the water rises the float will turn up and the pump will start and lower the water level

It has an filter in it that circulates water. I also bought another air pump and a bubble curtain for it but that was purely for looks. The glass lid does cover the whole top but there is a gap between the tank and the top so it's not an airtight seal. I love this tank.. would recommend this one as I have had many.

There is a drip pan at the bottom of the unit which can be emptied when required, as well as a hose that can carry the water to a sump pump or drain.

Yes you need the air pump too, the circulator on make the water move around .

I'm not very savvy when it comes to pumps -- I need a pump to drain the water out of my garden fountains, so I can change the water and keep it fresh so the algae won't grow. Do I need to buy any additional pieces with this or will it come with everything I need? Thank you!

The system does not have a air gap on the waste line as it is not required. It is equipped with a flow restricter that prevent the waste water from flowing back to the system. Please feel free to contact us if an air-gap faucet is required for your system install.

The overflow box has the corrugated hose that dumps down to the sump area. It goes through the filter area, then into the protein skimmer area, and the return pump is right next to the protein skimmer pump. Both pumps are right next to each other. There is no pump that is hooked up to the overflow. That is gravity fed and adjusted to the water level in either the filter or the tank. Hope this helps. I have one hooked up now.

it's a plug in, make sure you have a GFI outlet, it's a good little unit and you can hook up a tube to help drain your pond as well..sold at a hardware store.

Nope no air pump just the water pump. The nozzles help capture air when it's misting and I've had great success with the machine as long as I buy purified water.
