Do not purchase this pump - it leaks at the seal and gasket. I am experienced professional and would not recommend this product. You will be very unhappy!!!!!!!!!

I would use one off the discharge of each pump, then into a "Y" connection to the outlet. Otherwise, you risk pumping through the other pump right back into the sump. Staggering the height of the pumps would prevent both pumps from coming on at the same time.

The inlet/outlet are 1/4". You would just need to mount it inline between the nail gun and the male air hose fitting that connects to the supply hose.

I've read that you need an pump of at least 1hp or 1-1/2hp. My mine is a 1hp and it's working.

They just want you hooking it up to the backup one is all, the pipe that goes to a 45 to the main discharge. I did exactly what you're asking, put check valves right after it just like how you hookup a Watchdog battery system. If that's what you have right Now like I had. I took that 600 piece garbage out. This water backup one works awesome! Worth every penny, and it's 1/5 thr Price of the Best Watchdog Battery System.Another suggestion is I used those rubber inch & half elbows with hose clamps on each instead of using PVC elbows. Worked great for me and it's not nearly as Rigid.Google this also & click images, youtube video is also good Have a Great Christmas They just want you hooking it up to the backup one is all, the pipe that goes to a 45 to the main discharge.

do not know what type of quick release you are using but if it is a 1/4 pipe thread, could not find anything for my application so i took one of the supplied fittings that locks into the pump and drilled out the thickest one and tapped it with a 1/4 pipe tap. works fine.

You would have reduce the 1 1/2 cvp pipe down to about 3/4 then attach threaded cuplin to screw the hose on. Reducing it down, don't know if hurt the pump.

Yes, the top of the discharge is about 2-1/2 inches above the supporting surface. It is vertical, meaning it accepts a vertical threaded pipe. The pump is about 9-1/2 inches high. It's a good pump. The one I replaced was 20 years old and ran fine, but needed a new on/off switch, so I replaced the whole thing instead.

humm....in my installation NOT much because discharge is above floating line, but only drain back to the pump, the remaining water in the hose (about half quarter o so)....but if where the below floating line you may consider to install a check valve.....hope answer your question.

The pump comes with an adapter to fit several sizes. 1" i.d. is an option. You will need to cut the adapter at the one inch connection to get maximum flow.

You can install it with a reducer but it will probably overwork the motor since its designed for a 2" inlet and outlet. This pump has a lot of suction power it creates, so keep that in mind if you are going to purchase it and use a reducer. I suggest you look for one that matches your piping for your pool.

You will need to do some pluming. We used several different items, from a pluming supply and placed it between the pump and the filter. some of the items needed were a piece of plastic hose and elbows. The barbed connectors came with the ultra violet lamp. then the hoses were placed on the barbed connectors. A plastic pull was used to hold the hose tight. elbows were placed to get the correct angle to then connect to the hose to the filter. Not knowing how your pump was connected to your filter, this is as much info as I can give you.

The unit uses 1 inch plumbing. You would have to use an adapter. It's a simple piece to put on.

You need about 1 in. Minimum.if space to be pumped is uneven find lowest spot and try pump there. I use a broom to sweep the water to the pump.

you will need a pex 1/2 inch female fitting to connect to the 1/2 inch male off the pump inlet and outlet with this you can use pex piping
