If it makes a humming noise the motor is probably is burnt out. . Had issues with it hanging up and after 6 months of constantly clearing the impeller and adjusting the ball valve to get it to work, Returned it and got another one. Same issues. I returned it and got the LIBERTY PUMP MODEL 404. Have had it about a year and a half with NO issues. Cost a little more but well worth it.
The intake and outtake lines are different sizes, but I can’t see why a sink is “needed.” However, I worry about some of the details and worry you may be using this pump for a job that another pump may be more appropriate. Also, the check valve that come with this product is not great quality and I would advise using a higher quality check valve/flap that you purchase separately.
Yes, it is perfect for a sink. You can mount the pump in the cabinet right under the sink. I use mine for a bar sink in the basement. It can push water up 15 feet. I have had mine installed for 2 years with no problems.
Solids, especially solids that are rigid, can jam up the propeller of the pump. I have had to take mine apart twice when a small pieces of plastic jammed the propeller. I now use a screen in the drain and all works well. Not sure of dB level, but it is about the noise of a quiet garbage disposal. I have poured boiling water into the drain without issues.
Yes, it does. It's a helpful and nice product.
They vaguely mention this in the instructions, but the pump must be mounted lower. I made a longer tailpiece with a union, so that the pump rests on a 2x4 yet can easily be removed for service. This takes the weight off of the sink as well as lowering the water level in the sink. You could mount it so that it sits directly on the floor, but I don't recommend that unless you have to. Based on the 1/2" of water you have left, you need to lower the pump at least 2". You will also need to add a piece to the outlet piping to accomodate the lowered position. I also took an old stocking and covered the pump up to the outlet to prevent dust, dirt, bugs, from getting into the motor.
check the specs on the pump, probably a larger HP/ stronger. Im sure the more you spend the more you get!
yes, works on a presure switch. it also leaves a small amount of water in the bottom.
You need the vent, so I'm not sure why you would use an ell which would disable the vent. I would recommend you use a T-Wye after the sink oriented so the flow into the drain is downward. If you don't have room, you could put it above the sink in the vent, but you run the risk of pumping water out of the sink if the drain clogs (probably unlikely).
There is no pressure adjustment in this pump whatsoever. A few drops of water on its membrane is enough to activated the pump.
