can you hang all the back up pumps higher than main pump,my old one clamped on same plastic pipe only higher

It would be preferable to have both primary and backup pumps sitting on the sump floor. You want both pumps stable and both floats unobstructed. Tweak the float for the backup so that it kicks on if the primary float doesn't then run a test to confirm that. I personally would not advise hanging it above the primary pump. Hope that helps

Jake if you have room I would install it at the bottom of the sump by your main one due to the float switch that comes with this unit is timed to run so many seconds which basically is a full sump,that's by design.

Not all the back up pumps are designed to be hung above the primary pump. This particular unit is heavy and you will need to rest it on something if you need it higher. This unit is meant to sit next to the primary pump. Unless the sump pit is narrow you should install it on the same level as the primary.

There are two places to put tubing in the front of the pump. There is a cover to put on one of the stems if you only wanted to use it as a single pump. Trust me, there is no way I'd pay that much for a single pump!

No you cannot. This system is a gravity fed device that is fed from the top.

There are no mounting brackets / devices on the pump. It should be mounted vertically, in the lowest part of bilge (approximately 1/4" off bottom, for better suction area). Use tie-wraps, hose clamps, pop-rivets, or RTV 5200 type glue, to secure, or just let it "hang" on the discharge hose (and secure the hose). Torque is almost nonexistent, secure for vibration (created by boat motion).

Ii came in the vertical (up) discharge configuration and this is the way I used it. I think it is possible to rotate the pump 90o.

There is another opening to connect the second tube, directly below. It has a plastic cover on it- to use it as a double, take off that plastic and hook in your second tube. To go back to single pump, cover the second opening again with the plastic cover you removed.

There are terminals on the pump. You should be able to remove the wiring on your existing pump and connect to the terminals on the new pump.

It is possible to use a different pump with this. You will need to make sure the tube will fit the pump.

The container we have must be much like yours; the neck is less than a half inch high. We have had no problem. The threads on the pump go all the way to the open end.

Mount the pump first then the water bottle cage on top then put the screws in they work perfectly together and stay outta each others way with no problems

Jim, not sure what you asking. If you want to shorten the hose from original length then the answer is YES. In fact the pump came with an adaptor so that needs to be done is cut the hose to the desired length. However, if you want to lengthen the hose and pumping vertically, bear in mind the pump has a maximum height it can handle.

Hi Sharon,the answer is no,you have to buy pump with vertical float switch,I hope this will help you.

Don't know. I rigged it with different size connectors to another brand of pump.

Yes everything you need above and below the sink. The only hang-up may be figuring out how to connect the hose into your water supply. But that is just a quick trip to the hardware store with your parts.

No the height is not possible. But you can probably just make one level and not two. Or have separate storage cubes. The heights of the tube or pipe is fixed.

I elevated mine. Is it necessary? Prob not. I put an extra spigot below the original one because the original one is quite hi. It leaves a lot of unused water in barrel.

You can use existing tubes. If the old tubes were holding air and maintaining a good pressure they should do OK.
