Can I mount this at 4 foot level and have it discharge at about 6 foot level. Septic pipe is real high in the basement.

I'm afraid not. The water enters at the top and must flow through via gravity to the bottom. It's not built to be pressurized--the water will leak around the outside of the filter medium if you try that.

No. You would have to mount the canister above the septic pipe in the basement as it is a gravity drain after the washing machine pumps into it. Your washing machine pump would probably pump it that high - especially if it is already pumping it into the septic pipe.

I don't think that would work very well because it's all gravity fed once it hits the filter. Also, the replacement filters are expensive and have been out of stock.

Yes you can with no problem at all. It's about a couple inches from open hindge. Love mine but I did not install the water drain lines. Not needed.

I built a sturdy shelf five feet off the basement floor so that my dehumidfier could drain outside without the need for a pump. You will need to build raised edges on the shelf so that the dehumidifier can't vibrate itself off the shelf.

Not sure, but I would caution not to. If you are trying to get more distance between electrode then I would tell you to buy some PVC pipe and mount it next to the pump. Put the electrodes on that at whatever hight you need. They go over this setup in the product instructions I believe.

we could not use this because our roots are in the pipe line not our septic tank. Sorry we cannot help you.

My husband installed ours, and he said he doesn't see why the unit couldn't be mounted in the basement. Ours is not installed under the sink (which I think is the norm), but about approx. 20 feet from kitchen sink. The only thing is that it would require longer lines. We love ours!

My rise is also 6ft, and the wastes are then pushed 100ft with another 2ft of rise before reaching the lateral lines. It makes that distance with ease, but.I don't know more than that. You can look at specs on line at with the zoeller site though:)

I set my level on the floor and 4 3/8 inches is as low as it will go. If you use a spacer for putting the base down you can go lower.

I'm not sure. Had a custodian install mine ... and it actually ended up not being a flush mount .... there was a pipe we didn't anticipate ...

The pump has an automatic water level switch, not sure about height of discharge

I mounted mine on a 3/4" PVC pipe. It's mounted in the attic so PVC should be fine for that application. I don't think it would accept a much larger pipe

The unit needs to be higher than the drain initialy---once it starts draining thru the hose , the unit can then be set on the same level as the drain

In my use of the pump, I have had the pump within a few feet vertical from the surface of the water. Priming and pumping under these conditions has been successful. Trying to prime and run the pump with 5 to 8 feet above the water surface may work ok, but you will simply need to try it. It would be better to set the pump on something in the basement (unless the water is too deep to do this) and then run the outlet hose out the window. Good luck. In general, I have found both the 3 and 4 inch pumps to be reliable and fairly easy to prime.Wally Gwynn

Not sure what you mean by "maximum height." If you are installing the unit in a basement, you would likely want to mount it near the ceiling so you can vent it to the exterior of the home. If you can clarify your question, you can get a better answer....

well...yes. It's a sewage pump meant to sit in a sump that receives sanitary service. I have an "overhead" sewer system, meaning the gravity sewer lines exit the basement just below the first floor level. I wanted a bathroom in the basement and the only way to do that was to pump the sewage from the bathroom (it first drains to a plastic sump) vertically about 6 ft into the overhead sewer line. It works just fine...keep in mind you'll need to vent the sump to meet plubing codes...

My basement is only 7 feet which I think is more than adequate. I have it hanging from an I beam which lowers it even more and I still have no issues.

Assuming the water pressure system in your house is adequate to support the basepump (there is a section on their website to help you figure that out) then yes it should pump out water from a pit up a length of PVC at least 8ft. We have roughly that height in our set-up.
