Excellent product that helped me connect my sump pump quickly without sourcing other items for the install. Highly recommended for both new and replacing existing sump pumps since the one way valve needs replacement if the original sump pump has quit working from use.

Just what I needed. Just screw it into the pump base and connect it to your line out. Plug in the pump and you are all set. It was great having all needed parts put together in one easy to install unit.

easier and cheaper than trying to assemble from individual parts in the plumbing pvc parts area of my HD store. But, for about $10 less it would be more reasonable

I expected this to save me time setting up my new backup sump pump, but after I tested the pump, water started blowing out one side of the pvc at one of the seams. Instead of spending another hour taking everything apart and returning the defective item, I just caulked around it, hoping it holds out enough in case my main sump pump fails.

The Basement Watchdog Quick Connect Pipe has a 3/16” hole intentionally drilled just beneath the check valve as a measure to prevent air lock, which can cause the pump to fail to eject water. We mark where the hole is with a red line so you can anticipate where that water will come from when the backup runs. Our recommendation would be to unplug that hole so air lock does not occur when you need the backup to run. For more information or assistance with installation, please contact our customer support team at 800-991-0466 option 3. We are available to take incoming calls from 8am – 6pm CT Monday through Friday.

If part of the check valve or any other part of the Quick connect pipe cracked or was broken at all we can definitely get you out a replacement. I would recommend calling our service team at 800-991-0466 option 3. We're here to help from 9-5 Monday - Friday central time.

If it worked as well as ones I build from scratch it might have been worth the cost. But since I had to drive 1.5 hours round trip to plug the hole and cover it so water didn't spray ouy of the crock through small openings it wasn't a useful purchase.
Overpriced. "Weep" hole sprayed all over. Had to return to plug it!

Sorry to hear you had some problems with the installation. That weep hole is meant to be there to prevent air lock and we would advise against plugging it up if possible, We try to make it as user friendly as possible by making a red mark on the pipe to indicate which direction the spray will go. For more information, or installation assistance, please contact our customer support team at 800-991-0466 option 3. We are available to take incoming calls from 9am - 5pm CT Monday through Friday.
