Will it fit/work (enough clearance for the float) in a 5 gal bucket?

Yes, you can store it in the 5 gal. bucket, but not enough room for the float to operate correctly while in there.

This is in a crawl space under my house. My plumber installed it. The cement bucket it sits in is larger than a 5 gallon bucket. Sorry, this is new territory for me. If I find some information that will help you I will let you know.

Loose fit on usual 5 gallon bucket (I've tried three different ones)Falls off if the bucket tips over.

I do not have a 5 gallon bucket handy at the moment, but it will hold an item 15.75" tall and 21" wide. I would guesstimate by casually looking at the cabinet that it would not quite hold one.

That depends on the height of your jug. There is about an inch of space below our pump in our 5-gallon jug.

I am not sure - it would depend on the dimensions of the 5 gallon. My guess would be NO

I am 99.9% sure it will fit in a 5 gal bucket with the lid on but will double check tonight and re-answer in the morning.

Yes. We have one in a 5-gallon bucket with about 11" base diameter. The water level operates between 3" and 9". In other words, it is going to empty at about 9" of water. It is going to run more frequently than if it was in a sump basin.

To give you a reference point, my pump sits in a typical Home Depot 5 gallon utility bucket with an inch or two to spare around the perimeter. I am not sure what application you plan on using the pump for, but a five gallon bucket enclosure is as small a sump pit enclosure you could feasibly have. My pump sits in a five gallon bucket with holes drilled in the sides on a bed of gravel in my window well.

Judy this cap has a short range the float can travel, it fit my 6 gal fine. Unless your tank is approx. 10" deep, it don't think it will work.

Certainly. It stays closed until you pull the handle, and the hose is long enough and flexible. 5 gal size would be a bit on the heavy side full but not unmanageable.

I think about 1 cubic feet. After i soak this in the water and break it up, it will filled up 5 gal. bucket.

Yes it works. You need to have a big enough water bucket. Test it beforehand.

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

It will work at a 5' depth. Intake screen at bottom of pump must remain fairly clean. If it gets clogged, no water flow.

I have one mounted concealed from view in the filter/pump compartment of a Fluval Spec III (2.6 gal) and it works flawlessly. Should be fine in a 4 gallon. It's large, but it's flat.

I believe as long as the water reaches the float to activate the pump it should do the trick but u would need the same fittings as the pump states so not sure
