I have some above ground and partially above ground PVC pipe used with 2 sump pumps for outdoor flood control. Can one ~24' unit be used on both pipe runs? (Since they don't give you enough room here the first try, I can continue now ;-), the pipes coming from the pumps are about 18-20" apart, and at the time of this post, the 24' is by FAR the best deal (even cheaper than some of the smaller ones), so I'm wondering if I can use the 24' model to "traverse" both pipes? Attach it to one pipe for about 10' then cross over to the other pipe for about 10' so both pipes can be protected with one 24' long unit. ? Thanks.

I haven't ever used it on multiple pipes but I don' know any reason why not.

My pump is located roughly 60ft from the water source. The lake I pull water from is roughly 5 ft deep, consequently my foot value and the pipe covered by water is approximately 3 ft . Pipe joins a 90 deg coupling that hooks into piping running Parallel with the ground with a slight incline. It runs 7 sprinklers very effectively.

I just went and looked at the piping on my pump after I read your question. I have had it installed for about a year, The pipe I used (and it fit) was 1 1/2" NPT PVC. I used a threaded PVC coupler sized at 1 1/2 and it screwed right into the discharge outlet of the pump. Then I cemented a length of 1 1/2 PVC to the 1 1/2 coupler and ran it to my sewer drain. The answer from KenDo More is incorrect for THIS Wayne pump. I believe he is thinking of a different coupler that would screw into the 1 1/2 port on the base of the pump and then make the discharge pipe size 1 1/4.

Yes, I have a 2 inch diameter pipe on the my sump as well. The sensors are held on by a plastic tip strap. On at the bottom of the pipe where you want the empty level of water to be and one at the top where you want the pump o turn on. It's all pretty clear in the instructions. I wasn't sure of these when I got them but they are GREAT! Work just as described. Ended the short cycling of the pump for me.

My garden is at least that distance from my faucet. I just use a regular hose to the garden, then the soaker hose in the garden. Works great! But I don't recommend putting ANOTHER soaker hose at the end of the first one. Then the pressure would be too low and it won't distribute evenly.

Depends on what you're doing with it. I use my Wayne PLS100 to pump water out of four connected rain barrels up to my back yard (probably about 15 feet vertical and about 50 yards horizontal). Does a great job. I use 1" schedule 40 PVC pipe. You need 1" male NPT adapters for your pvc pipe to screw into the female inlet and outlet of this pump. Use rigid pipe on the intake, as recommended by specs, as the pump is quite powerful and will collapse a flexible intake hose. I don't know why they call this pump portable. It seems more suited to a permanent installation (like mine). Still works after 4 years, but of course, I drain it when it gets cold, and I make sure it's primed before running it. I used a foot valve on the intake (which is inserted into 1 of four connected rain barrels), which ensures the pump is always primed. I highly recommend a foot valve for the intake. If you're using 1" pvc, you would need another 1" male npt thread adapter, as most foot valves have female npt thread. On the output I simply have two 3/4" hose bib connectors for 1" pvc pipe, and I use standard hose bibs for connecting up to two garden hoses. I hope this helps.

I sold my cable when I moved cross country. The male prongs are molded (if I recall) so no risk of water entering the extension cable. Cut an old 5 quart Motor Oil (plastic) canister and use it as rain shield? Other choice is to find 4 inch diameter PVC pipe from hardware store. Maybe 1 foot long pipe would be enough to keep the connectors protected from the elements inside the pipe.

I put liquid silicone (the kind you can dip tool handles in, comes in a can) over my connection so I can use most of the 50' in piping. Of course in my case I run it from my desktop computer to the drain lines in my house so I only really need about 35' of the 50' in the pipe. The rest runs from the clean out to my desktop computer in the den. I record on my computer instead of connecting this to a camera.

We used one in our 20 X 40 in ground play pool Max depth <6' and it worked great but did need additional hose segments. In deeper a pool, say a diving pool, it may not be as effective. I just ordered one for the similarly sized diving pool at out new house. I will try to remember to update after I hook it up.

Hi Carolyn, The inlet is 1.25 inches and the outlet is 1 inch in diameter. What did you mean by opening? If your pipe in the ground well is not more than 20 to 25 ft deep and two inches in diameter Not circumference;, but across the opening you can get a reducer to get the correct pipe size. About the 25 feet deep part. This is a shallow well pump that uses a special design where a jet of water (which is only available after priming the pump) will help pull the water up, which is not going to work as well the greater the distance from the surface to the water table. Generally 25 fet is considered max by some "experts". I am NOT an expert, but have replaced a much bigger and costly pump with this one. Happy I did as I saved $500 AND it works just as good, actually better than the old worn expensive pump. If you are only pushing water and not pulling from a well then again you can reduce the size of the existing pipe... but I can not say it is good or bad since I have no idea what you are going to do with this kind of pump.

Probably. It's pretty tough. I have a different sump pump for my washing machine, and, to be safe, I run the grey water through a screen-window type of netting to catch lint. I made a frame for the screen out of eight approx. 1-foot segments of ½" PVC pipe, one central "X" connector, four 90 deg. angles, and four end caps. Basically an "X" with 4 legs, pointing up; screen sits on top of (capped) legs, stapling screen to itself, around/over legs, so it doesn't come loose. Whole thing sits in a utility sink that drains into the sump pump. Has worked like a charm for 7 years. Just make sure the washing machine outlet pipe is secure, so it dumps into the ~center of the screen. Probably. It's pretty tough.

My pump in in the 2000 gph range, with the waterfall 3 or so feet above the pump (which worked quite well) - however, my pond is over 600 gallons. Not sure how well a pump that size will work with a smaller pond as the amount of water in the "plumbing flow" may be significant compared to the pond (depending on how yours is set up). I had a smaller (<100 gallon) water feature where I had to add water once the pump starts (to replace the volume of water in the waterfall and running down the rocks) and once the pump stops, the water then overflows the pond. As long as the water flow was constant, once filled, it ran great.

I built a boom out of PVC pipe and zip tied it to the pipe......I mounted it low to the back of the ATV so it would spray close to the ground. I have a 15 gallon sprayer tank I used and it works pretty good.

About 8 foot or so I have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets. I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

This unit controls 24 volt water valves with a common (or ground) with each valve as a separate entity. It probably would work that way for above ground, but that is not what it is intended.

We recommend using two PP-12-L units when you are using larger 6 volt batteries in a series parallel connection. We suggest placing one on each of your series connection. When you are using one unit, it will cover the two batteries well but as the pulse wave goes out, the wave diffuses. It is like throwing a rock in a pond and as the waves go out they diffuse. But if you throw two rocks in the pond on each side, the waves cover the pond equally and quicker. You will want to create equal resistance levels in the batteries as they are desulfated. If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of our technicians at 866-668-3163.

Pumping laterally is not that difficult as long as you are using a large enough pipe and it is not frozen. 1 1/2" is a good size. It would be best if the pipe has a slight downward slope after it leaves the house. My 1 1/2" discharge pipe goes through the boundary joist that sits on the sill and dumps into the 4 inch sump line that heads downhill to the town storm drain 80 feet away.
