Does any one know if this can be used to split an outlet for a primary sump pump (115-volt) and a battery back-up (12-volt) pump?

This is 15 Amp so it should be electrically sufficient (check motor amperage on pump); however, this is made for tight spaces so probably not be wide enough for your battery backup transformer (1 inch)

I'm not an electrician, so I don't know about volts, but this adapter can be plugged into a regular outlet, and then you can plug in two different appliances (one on each side). Since it comes two in a pack, you can run 4 different appliances from one double outlet. (If you expect to run all four appliances at the same time, just know that there will be an amp limit that the circuit can handle before tripping a breaker.)

Instapark's website states that the 12 volt outlet can be used for charging 12 volt batteries. I haven't personally tried it so I cannot speak from experience.

We tried using a sump pump but, after awhile, it would trip the breaker and stop working. Now we have a Tera 3600 pond pump. So far it's working great!

Yes this could work as a secondary battery to power an audio system.. better yet - why don't you pair this with an 1500 Watt 12v-120VAC inverter then you can use a regular 115 VAC amp to really boom it away.

No absolutely not, it plugs into the mains to supply 12 to car accessories. It's not suitable for what you want.

It will certainly power a sump pump but length of time will depend on the draw and the capacity of the unit. Should be able to figure it out.

I haven't tried what you're asking but don't see why not if you can find a 24 volt relay that can handle the pump's voltage and amperage (wattage).

Not sure if I understand your question correctly but I will attempt to answer. This unit is sold as a battery back-up sump pump. It contains everything you need except the deep cycle battery. It is designed to be used as one unit but I guess you could remove the pump and just use the charger portion. You would need to use the exact type of back up pump. Will not work on other units.

Online you will find all sorts of matrix's that tell you how much voltage drop you will have over different distances. You will need to know how much power you need at your sump pump and the length of extension cord. Then you determine if this inverter will work for you. I've been very happy with this inverter, but i run electronics. I'm not running a motor. So to answer your question..... Can it handle an extension cord, yes..... but.

it will work with any outlet from the pump. I have a Polaris in the middle, main outlet in the deep, and the skimmer in the shallow. I just leave attached and then readjust when needed or when I reboot especially before the kids swim.

Sure, there's a 12V outlet so if you have a separate inverter you could use it to create AC power. I have no idea how long it would last for any given application or exactly what maximum load it could handle. Since it's not designed for that, the manufacturer doesn't give provide any specs. But is it a substantial battery.

I have mine connected (for a pool pump) to a standard outdoor outlet with no problems.

The label on the pump says 16 amps. I ran a (probably 12 gauge) wire from our house batteries, under the motorhome, to a heavy duty 12 volt outlet in a compartment near the dump valves. I used a 20 amp inline fuse. The fuse has never blown. My guess is the pump would draw a little less than 15 amps.I apologize for being a "nitpicker". More than 15 amps wouldn't be a "short circuit". A circuit breaker should trip.

The unit has a built in electric pump that works both ways. It requires a 120 outlet.

This control is made to plug in a 120 volt sump pump and will not work on 12 volt DC system.Dave

Separate discharge to outside should be installed on water powered pump. Reason is so that it is a complete 100% separate independent system. Your primary electrical sump pump may fail due to discharge pipe clogging. Being a plumber I have seen it many times.

That seems like a huge waste for a UPS, since you can get a battery backup specifically built for a sump pump that would be cheaper (less than $200) and better designed for that purpose. You are paying for a lot of power protection features here that would be unnecessary, and the battery would probably be dead in a couple hours versus a sump backup battery that could last days. Also, I'd be concerned about the water of the environment you'd place this in.
