The size of the sump is generally determined by local code. If it is not of sufficient volume, the pump will cycle too often. Depending on where you put the float switch, the pump cam draw down to about 4".

The bottom of the pump is the "cage" that allows water to enter the pump for discharge. The entire cage is It is approximately 1.25 inches before reaching the actual pump impeller. The very bottom is thin (less than .1 inches). The amount of water left in the pit is between 1.5 -2.0 inches.....

Yes or get a gauge to read it. This pump is best as a last resort, and not a replacement to a floor pump.

pump only simply plug directly in (no switch) run a few seconds if wanting to test whole assembly including switch depth on and off.. lower into 5 gallon bucket approx 13 inches depth, should turn on. but beware, the water will pump out and douse you if not prepared.

if you see there is a level line on the front of the pump just below the blue thing the blue can be removed and it still has to be about 2- inch. before it comes on

From the ground to the bottom of the spreader is about 4 inches when the spreader is empty. It would probable be a little less if the spreader is full

I didn't measure the depth when it starts but guess it pumps out approximately 6.0 inches. It leaves about 4.5 inches when the pump stops.

The cord is over 8 foot long and comes out top of pump. Even if its not as long as you wanted you don't have to put pump all the way down at first.

It is approximately 10 inches from the floor at it's lowest level. It is a great product, I really wished that we had bought it years ago.

It pumps from the bottom so it will get real close to the floor. Then youll have to mop.

It seems to be about 6 inches off the ground. Not very high. It cleans very well and gets under most things without hurting anything that gets in its way.

There is a float valve on the pump that activates the pump at approximately 5 inches water depth. Pick up is located on the pump bottom.

I don't have a manual in front of me, but I think it will go down to 1/2", but it sure seems like mine goes down to about a 1/4" and then will shutoff. On my cover, it often pumps it almost completely dry in one section, shutting off until water migrates in from other sections to "fill" the area around the pump. It then pumps that down as well. Rinse and repeat....it works very nicely and I'm VERY pleased. Much better than my previous pump that now seems more like a toy than a pump.

The pump will suck down to about an 1/8 of an inch in my experience. I've used this pump in a rental property when the main sewer line backed up and put about a foot of water in the basement - it took a while but it cleared it out.Also used it when minor flooding happened in June and I had a few inches of water in my own basement. This pump has been worth the cost and it has performed very well.

There is always going to be some water left in the pit roughly 4" inches. That is so the pump doesn't run itself dry. If you want to get the water level lower try adjusting the float position.

My unit pumps from my basement floor up to where the A/C pipes leave the basement wall, about 6' vertical, has run for months with no problem.

I just want to clarify: If you are pumping up to the ceiling, then the pump should be on the ceiling. If you are pumping up to, say, 4 feet off the floor, then that's the best place to place the pump. In other words, at the highest point of the pumping.

It has a drain built in. The last few inches at the feet you'll have to bail out though because the drain doesn't quite go all the way to the bottom.
