INSTALLATION STEPS
(see diagram on page 5)
We recommend that you install your SUMP BUDDY in a location where there is adequate
room for servicing at a later date. Discharge line should be made from ABS or PVC 1 1/4” ,
1 1/2” or 2” pipe.
We do not recommend to install flexible drain kit due to friction loss. Head capacity and/or
discharge flow will be reduce in a large proportion.
Use teflon tape on all connections.
Keep suction screen and ejector clean.
Check regularly your SUMP BUDDY to ensure its proper operation. Remember that solids or
debris in water should be removed from the sump pit.
Remove electrical power of your existing conventional sump pump and verify that this sump
pump is equipped with a check valve at pump discharge. If not, add a check valve before
continuing your installation. The sump pump check valve should be located at the primary
pump discharge and installed below the “Y” fitting.
Locate your SUMP BUDDY in an ideal position and cut the existing discharge line to install
the T or Y fitting. Cut the desired length of pipe to connect the discharge line from the check
valve of the SUMP BUDDY to the T or Y fitting.
Run this discharge line with fittings to adjust your SUMP BUDDY in vertical position.
We recommend that the distance between the bottom of the SUMP BUDDY and the bottom
of the sump pit be approximately 2”.
