I hooked this pump into existing pipe connections from previously installed pump, but now getting water shoot back into the sink after the cycle ends

you should have a check valve in the discharge line as close to the pump as possible!

Sounds like you need to install a check valve in the line so that water does not flow back in the other direction.

Yes it should not problem, basically you plug in your other pumps and as long as they can handle being cycled on and off you should be fine! I have had mine for over a year now with no problems.

I have two of the inlets plugged off. I would see no problem removing the other two plugs and have having all three inlet used at the same time. The pump seems to pump plenty of water. All three inlets are the same size. I used pvc piping for my inlet. Just reduce or increase the size of the piping once you get near the inlets it should work. Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem, but it was due to my cross-threading the water supply hose. I was very careful, and it appeared to be threading straight, but it was not. I changed the water supply hose (plastic) to a new one, and the problem was solved. It was user error and not due to product.

Yes that was the unfortunate thing that happened with us also. We went to lowes and got a new one to replace the one that came with it. Also we had to go back in and reseal so it worked with the plumbing. Kind of a pain. But we love the sink. Good luck !!

No it hooks up to your existing pump. it was pretty easy to hook up but you will probably need to get extra hoses.

It could be the pump rotors are beginning to rust and expand like I mentioned in my review. When this happens, they start scraping and making noise, and the water circulates less. There is not much you can do about it.

I believe your thinking of the impeller. I took the old one off and installed it on the new pump.

Line vs. load- I usually use the center two screws as load and the outer two as line in. You are getting power to the pump or it wouldn't be working. Try backing the cut out control nut out to reduce pressure "the one with the short spring located off center". If all else fails remove the switch and unscrew the backing plate, remove the diaphragm. You can test the switch manually by pressing on the center of the mechanism with your thumbs. Also while you have it apart look through the inlet pipe. The actual water inlet hole is quite small and can become clogged. Reassembly doesn't require any kind of sealant.

I have not tried that. the connection on the sink unit is for a garden hose to be screwed into. I bought it to use while i had my kitchen torn apart for remodel but had it hooked to the garden hose.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This pump is designed to connect directly to the drain fitting of a utility sink. Which is how I am using it.

I had the same problem I found out it was because I didn't fill the inner tank, you can add water to it when you put it in you will see bubbles keep pulling it out and putting it back in till the bubble stop then wait till the prime light goes on then turn on the pump and it will start flowing don't worry

We installed & connected everything without an issue - and the entire system has been working flawlessly since it was installed close to a year ago. Something must be wrong - might be time to consider shipping it back or asking them manufacturer to ship out a replacement drain piece. Just an idea. Good Luck!

Did you insert it into the white hole/valve thing? maybe you need to insert it just a bit further. Otherwise sounds like you did everything right. Maybe your pump is bad, try another. Good luck!

You should be connecting the faucet to fexible "faucet connector" hoses which then connect to the water inlet valves under your sink. These valves normally connect to your " INNNER diameter copper pipe that supplies the water (comes out from the wall under sink. You can choose to change the inlet valves (usually screw right off/on) or use flexible faucet connector hoses that have connectors at each end which fit your valve and faucet. Take the faucet to home depot or other store to be sure. Get faucet connector hoses that match that end. Measure the INNER (hole) and OUTER (threads) diameters of the inlet shut-off valves under the sink. Also measure the inner & outer diameters of the fitting that is soldered on to the " copper pipe coming from the wall. You need to know which measurement the shut-off valve package is referring to when you look at the package at the store. BTW- If you decide to replace your shut-off valves under your sink (we did - always a good idea if you don't know how old they are) use the turn style. They work better in an emergency, or when doing any plumbing work on your sink!) If you do this, shut the water off at the main valve to the house, put a drip container under the pipe fitting to catch any dripping water. Drain the water from the pipes by opening 1 or 2 faucets at the highest and lowest points in the house. When it stops dripping, you can take off the sink connectors and shut-off valves under the sink. Then so your work. Finally, some tips: 1. Look up how to do this on youTube. There are great videos there. 2. Take photos (we use our cell phones) or video when you remove each piece, so you remember where evrerything goes when replacing it. Also, it help when you're explaining what you need when you talk to the clerk at the hardware store. Have fun!

did you take the nozzle of the return line before you try to install? you just unscrew the nozzle and the fountain should screw back in its place.this is strange since all pools have the exact same return system. any Home depot/ Lowes would have any kind of reducer.
