How deep does the water have to get before it turns on?

I'm not sure - it is entirely closed so you can't see the water level when it's operational. I think the float was about an inch from the top to trigger it on, though. We never had a problem with overflow until the entire switch died.

There's a "Float" that regulates the level, which is preset at the factory, so I'd trust in wherever that's set (assuming you're replacing the original with the same make & model).

I have no idea. I purchased this for my A/C condensation pump and it didn't have an alarm switch which my A/C required. I can't use it and waited to long to return so I am eating this purchase. My Little Giant had the same model number as the one I was using, BUT it didn't have the switch. I feel I was misled on this purchase. Beware if you are using it for A/C condensate removal.

I have to open my faucets all the way to start it. There is a small amount of water in the unit that gets extremely hot all at once and heats the water exiting the unit. When there is enough water exiting the unit to ensure safe operation, it will turn on and do what it was designed to do. If the incoming water is very cold, or the faucet you want to use is far from the unit, you may need to turn it to maximum power (5).

You won't have any problem at all. To turn the water on, you push the handle to the side. To control the temperature, you move it forward (for cold) and backward (for hot). When the handle is pushed back as far as possible (for hot water), it doesn't go any farther than the base of the faucet. If the faucet fits your space without touching the window, then the handle won't touch the window either. I love my faucet!

At its deepest, it's probably about 2 inches. That's an educated guess, but I'll bet I'm not off by much. :)

Sure well. Just be sure to place it in the tank for about 45 minutes so it well set to the tell of the water before plugging it in.

I just push the button and it's on. No problem. After some time, I have to do the same once more.Don't forget there has to be enough water. Anyway, the instructions are not too clear, but I worked it out.Hope to have helped you. Regars, Brigitte

Depends on the depth of the water in your yard. The switch won't turn the pump on until the water is about 7" deep.

Close the valve all the way and the water should go much higher than 3 feet.

My unit is about 6 feet from my shower head. Unit turns on at about .5 gal. Per min.

Try wetting your hand first and hold your fingers on the shafts while you give it power. Make sure the switch on the boat is on also. You may want to put some water in a bathtub about 3 inches and try it there but hold onto it.

Make sure it's nice and tight and that you have the water pressure at the appropriate level. I've used it a few times now and it's worked to an acceptable level.

If there is no water in tank the float will stat at bottom of the unit and unit will not run. As soon as water is added the float will raise slightly and unit will start. float does not raise very much only enough to activate switch which is located at end of rod in upper part of unit .

I don' t really understand the question but I will try to answer. It has a float switch that is mounted on a rod. The water gets higher the float slides up the rod and the pump turns on. You could also slide the float up manually to turn on.

On mine it is just under 5" to bottom of the "handle"(black part that shoudn't be submersed) I'd say max water depth is 4.75 inches.

Got enough power and would push all the excess water off. However, it depends how clean the water is . . . soft water? hard water? Hard water will leave streaks where the water trails off the surface.

It does rely on water pressure for it's force. But I'm not sure how low is to low.

Definitely can't go deep. I took it past 10 ft during a snuba excursion. The thing started to freeze and wouldn't turn on. When I opened up the battery/SD card compartment, water had gotten in.
