If the basement has water
or moisture on the floor, do
not walk on wet area until all
power is turned off. If the shutoff box
is in the basement, call an electrician.
Remove pump and either repair or
replace. Failure to follow this warning
could result in fatal electrical shock.

A check

valve

must be used on the primary sump
pump discharge.

This

pump

must only be used to pump clear water.

This pump is not designed to handle

effluent, salt water, brine, laundry

discharge or any other application

which may contain caustic chemicals

and/or foreign materials. Pump damage

may occur if used in these applications

and will void warranty.

Installation

Installation of this unit may take
several hours. Before disabling your
main pump, have ready an appropriate
means of evacuating the sump.

1. Turn power to main pump off.
2. Pump must be installed using 1¼”

or 1½” rigid PVC pipe. Do not use

flexible drain hose.

Pump Installation

The EWP10 can be installed with a

separate dedicated discharge line

(Figure 1, Method 1) or tied into the
existing sump pump line (Figure 2,
Method 2).

Unplug

the

existing AC pump. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fatal electrical
shock.

3. Verify that the existing AC pump

is in good working order. If the
AC pump is questionable, it is

recommended that the unit be

replaced.

4. Remove any silt or accumulated

debris from the sump pit and

surrounding area.

5. Locate the EWP10 in an ideal

position in the sump pit. The

ideal position is approximately

2” from the bottom of the sump
pit and located so that it does
not interfere with any part of the
existing sump pump.

6. Method 1 Installation:

(Figure 1) Cut and dry-fit rigid
PVC pipe to the discharge of the
water powered back-up pump.
Cement all fittings and discharge
pipe after all pipe has been cut
and dry-fit together.

The

discharge

line installation will vary depending on
individual circumstances. Using sound
plumbing practices, route the discharge
pipe to an exterior wall by the shortest
path. Keep turns to a minimum because
they reduce the flow output of the pump.
The pipe that exits the building structure
should be sealed and sloped downward
so the water will not freeze in the pipe.

Method 2 Installation:
(Figure 2) Cut the existing main
pump discharge line and cement
a “T” or “Y” fitting. Measure,
cut and dry-fit the pipe required
to connect the EWP10 to the
installed “T” or “Y” fitting.
Cement all fittings and pipe.

7. Shut off the municipal water

supply. Install a rigid water
supply line to the sump area.

Include a shut-off valve in the

supply line. Flush the supply line

of all debris before installing the

automatic valve.

8. Connect the automatic valve

assembly with brass vacuum

breaker to the supply line. Is

should be located about 6” above

the basement floor or sump pit

cover. The supply line needs to be

supported.

9. Attach the hose coupling and

washer to the brass vacuum

breaker of the automatic valve

assembly.

10. Attach the “L” bracket to the

automatic control valve using the

two screws supplied.

11. Install the float rod by threading

the two parts together. Using

the large coupler, secure the rod

connection by threading the top

screw to the top part and the

bottom screw to the bottom part.

12. Install a small coupler and the

float to the float rod by inserting

the float rod through the center

of the float. Insert a small coupler

about ½” above the bottom of

the float rod and tighten the

fastener. Tighten the first small

coupler installed.
