can this unit drain into a sump pump?

Yes, it comes with a clear plastic hose so it will drain into a sump pump well.

If you can somehow bolt the diaphragm switch to your existing pump or to something in your sump you should be able to use it.You will have to plug the pump into the the switches plug, then into an outlet.The diaphragm switch must remain stationary and will be activated from the water pressure to the bottom of the switch.

Most pumps are in a sump....generally a square hole in the floor. Shape of water powered unit is different and usually won't fit. If water powered unit is a backup, then surely no space in the sump and it would block removal of the main pump unit. Up at ceiling is out of the way.

Yes. It works well. I will say this, if the pump stops for any reason, backups can occur through and drain or toilet.

I bought one of these switches to go with a different manufacturer other than Wayne, but there's no reason for it to be incompatible. Simply plug your current pump into the replacement switch plug, and then that into your outlet. The vertical switch plug creates a circuit only when the float has risen high enough which then activates your pump; pretty clever. You'll simply need to figure how to mount the switch at the appropriate level in your sump pit. I attached mine to a vertical piece of pvc I have as the discharge pipe. Good luck!

Yes you can, but it will drain really fast no even for five minutes of usage

Yes it is possible, with the right reduction couplings and or adaptors, but it was meant for a larger volume discharge. This would defeat the purpose of having a high flow pump and having it discharge through a smaller diameter hose!.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This pump is designed to connect directly to the drain fitting of a utility sink. Which is how I am using it.

What Jim said. This is not a submersible sump pump and would not handle the volume of water that would need to be removed from a sump. Plus the motor is not waterproof. If it gets wet, it will burn out.

Sir, your question is too technical for me to answer. I use this as a pump to drain a sink because proper plumbing cannot be install. For this purpose, along with a check valve, it works great.

The only thing that would make me hesitant about doing that is the lack of head pressure on the impellers, and collecting silt through the intake. You need head pressure to keep the impellers from bouncing up and down inside the pump housing, which could in turn damage the impellers to the point of pump failure. I would recommend a sump pump or even a trash pump for your needs.

You could but unless you have a very long hose on the output and/or low water pressure what's the point? This is not a pressure washer, just a poor to mediocre transfer pump.

Probably not, unless this is a permanent set up. It sounds like you are bring a hose over to a tank and and filling the tank then draining and disconnecting the hose.

No... this product is mainly used for your outlet. Either from your sump or in my case the outlet from my back compartment of my biocube 14. and a hydor koralia nano 240 isnt an outlet its a circulation pump

If the dehumidifier is draining into the sink where the pump is connected I would say it could. The pump I had burned out because ice maker was constantly draining into sink. the pump eventually burned out

I would not. I would use a "trash pump" that can handle some solids. Zoeller makes them and that is what I would suggest you get. A sump pump is for water only And likely to get clogged used for sink and laundry waste.
