I want to use this item as a sump pump Is that possible

could be, need to mount or weight the pump and add a float or manual switch the leads are only about 36"

it will pump water ok, but there is no switch to turn it on or off. also it's all made of plastic, and I question its durability for hard use.

I would not recommend using as a home sump pump. It isn't fast enough for the task, and has lift limitations. I use mine to remove water from a 33 foot round pool cover, does the job but gets clogged easily making cleaning of it often.

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.

Sir, your question is too technical for me to answer. I use this as a pump to drain a sink because proper plumbing cannot be install. For this purpose, along with a check valve, it works great.

Yes but you cannot fully submerge the pump. This is not a "submersible pump".

If you are in a dry state and need an occasional pump I would use a traditional sump pump run on electricity. The purpose of the water run liberty pumps is to back up a traditional sump pump if the electricity is out due to a storm. They are more expensive than an electric sump pump and I do not know what kind of useful life you will get out of one if it is used as a primary pump. To answer your question, yes it can be. But if it were me I would use the electric as my primary and if you need a back up then use the Liberty.

It can be done, but you would have to mount the pump on its side. Putting a PVC elbow on the return would be better, unless that's not feasible.

I doubt it. It is made for an outboard to feed the water pump while running out of water. This thing does NOT work anyway. Don't waste your money.

I am not using the pump in that type of configuration. Suggest you look at the specs to figure this out.

You could but unless you have a very long hose on the output and/or low water pressure what's the point? This is not a pressure washer, just a poor to mediocre transfer pump.

Yes, YOu can without any problem. I have used the built in pump and my external pump. Both work fine.

This is a limited duty submersible sump pump. Designed for removal of foundation water to the outside. I see no reason it couldn't be used outside as long as there is some protection from freezing temperatures.

The pump isn't that fast as you would just using a wetting can. And as long as the distance is below the maximum head there should be no problem.

If you can somehow bolt the diaphragm switch to your existing pump or to something in your sump you should be able to use it.You will have to plug the pump into the the switches plug, then into an outlet.The diaphragm switch must remain stationary and will be activated from the water pressure to the bottom of the switch.

Yes you can but you would need an adapter that is available from Lowes or Homedepot.

I wouldn't suggest this. There will probably be water around and this device isn't made for anything wet nor the surges your pump will produce. You can also purchase a sump pump cheaper. Home Depot carries batteries $200 and up that would work better for your purpose.

I'm not sure you can add pump to the existing system. IMO, you better write to manufacturer.

Nope. But why would you want to if you have water for a hose?? Just run your hose to the container the pump is in and set it to fill at the same rate your using it.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.
