The diameter of the pipe doesn't change the pressure back to the check valve. If you have a 1" pipe with a pressure gauge at the bottom and filled it with 27.5" of water the gauge would read 1 psi. If you took a 12" diameter pipe with the same setup and filled it with 27.5" of water the gauge would read 1 psi. Usually when working with water the manufacturer of pumps and what not would refer to water column or head. It's the height of the water that creates the pressure. It sound like this valve requires about 2.5 to 3 psi to seal correctly. You might be able to pipe it up near the basement ceiling (over the 6' mark) and put in a turn at the top to the drain? It may gurgle when in use but may work. Every 27.5" is 1 psi so if you have a 1000 gallon swimming pool that's 8.5' round and the water is 27.5 high at the bottom of the pool the water pressure is 1 psi, not the water supported by your deck...that's a different story.
Probably with a fitting.
It's because the backflow valve leaks. This allows water from the discharge pipe to drain back into the pump itself until it reaches the point where it trips the flow switch. Basically it's just bad design because there's really no such thing as an inexpensive leak proof backflow valve. The manufacturer's "solution" is that you're supposed to have 6ft minimum of discharge pipe length above the backflow valve to create enough pressure on it (via the weight of the water) to get it to seat tightly. Despite this meaning I had to run the discharge pipe all the way up to the underside of the floor above the backflow valve still leaks and the pump continues to cycle on and off so I ended up returning this and getting a laundry tray system (which is what I used to have)
It is pretty quite. I use it on a laundry tub and it does the job.
I would winterize using RV/marine antifreeze. That's the pink antifreeze. Turn the water off for the season, pour some of the antifreeze down the drain and let the pump run, unplug the pump while it's running so some antifreeze remains. That's it.
its threaded and will accept a threaded/ female adapter to accept 1-1/2" pipe coming offf your sink. Works on the same concept as a garbage disposal.
Husband also says to put some sort of filter in the sink to filter any lint.
I have one on a bar sink that’s used like a mini kitchen in my basement. I don’t think it would do well with a garbage disposal. The waste from the disposal would likely gunk it up and it would fail quickly.
I used with 1 1/4" pvc and a garbage disposal and worked fine should be fine with 1"
Yes. You plug into any outlet. Preferably GFCI outlet source.
