Our sub-basement has a hose running from the pump to an outside drain. So there isn't a pipe to mount the float to. Are there other mounting options?

yes, this includes a hose clamp to clamp it to the drain pipe, but you could attach it to anything you wanted using zip ties, or you could always put a small vertical piece of pipe in the sump just to attach the ball float piece to. might take a little creativity in coming up with a solution to fit your needs.

You can most likely attach it to your pump. The outside diameter of the hose may be different, but the inside should be the same.

I'm assuming you're talking about a free-standing tub filler? We used a tub filler mounted to the ground. The tub is very inexpensive, but the fitting on the drain is not standard and we had to mix and match parts from the hardware store to connect it to the plumbing in our house. Also, we glued ours to the deck as it is very light and could be unstable otherwise.

This is a suction type pump all of the pump is in the part you see in the picture, This pump is made to pump out of shallow aquifers or out of a water storage system, that is under it. If your asking about horizontal, a pipe could most likely be 5 miles long horizontaly level, and if it was full of water NO AIR in it and the rise was not more than 20 feet it would probably pump out of it with out problems. to the pump for the most part all it is seeing is the height or the distance/depth to water, (a check valve/foot valve, should be used to keep the suction pipe full, The pump will only pump water out of the spout of the pump, as there is no seal or way of attaching a pipe to the pump to pump above the unit,

We have ours mounted under the sink and while the filter unit mounts on the wall, the tank sits on the cabinet floor. The unit takes over half of our under the sink space. There is not enough tubing to mount in the basement.

We recently had significant flooding in our basement and used similar pumps to pump out the standing water. Our method was to attach garden hoses to each pump and drag those up the stairs and out the back door, allowing the water to be directed outside. Here's the problem with this particular model of pump. It has a discharge vent or some darn thing that shoots water up straight up into the air when it's pumping. I'm not sure what the function of this is and I have other pumps, none have this vent. So while pumping out the basement water, I'm afraid this pump would be spraying water all over and making a bigger mess. The Little Giant, if you can locate one, or a sump pump from your local hardware store may be a better option.

Yes! Mine was the same way. Go to Home Depot or another home improvement type store and purchase a 90 degree 3 or 4 inch(depending on your size clean out pipe) elbow plumbing fixture. You will also need the male threaded connector to fit your original opening and the female thread connector for the doggie doo drain. Some pvc glue and that's it. Its very simple.... This will then allow you to mount the Doggie Doo drain in an upright position. See picture here (copy and paste this link) - http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb417/rb404/SAM_0034_zps5c8ff231.jpg

Somewhere outside your home there should be a sewer clean out opening that has a screw on cap. I created a 18" riser which I attached to the clean out. I then attached the doggie doo drain to the riser. I hope that helps!

I run the drain hose into the basement floor drain. The hose is NOT included. I picked one up at the local hardware store.

There is a drain in the back of the unit at floor level. I added a condensate pump to boost it from the floor out a window. There is also a very large exhaust hose that goes with an included window mount.

Not positive but I believe it would not be, we had to put a piece of PVC pipe into the top of the pump where the hole is , the float attaches to the side of that pvc pipe I want to say it comes mid way down the side of the pump, not sure if that helps you or not

The mounting hardware is included. The drain is not and does not come with a faucet.

As Paul said, "Make sure the hose runs down below the spicket. There's no pump. Drain it into a sump pump hole (if in a basement with a pump), or, if you're running the hose out a window or into an open drain, elevate the unit above the that.

This can be used where ever you would use a standard hose, it does need to be screwed on on to the outlet, if the water supply you are referring to is a pipe that fills only the pool then i would check with a pool supply company as that type of water supply may not allow anything to be screwed onto it.

I have mine next to the tank, and the hoses are just about long enough. I don't think they'd be long enough to connect the filter under the tank. You could always just buy hoses from your local hardware store, but you can't have it too low -- the pump won't lift the water very high.Good luck!GBose

I hook mine to the utility sink in my garage without any problems. It comes with adapters to attach to your faucets. Think you can do it without any problem. Only problem may be the length of the hose.

The float valve for the 12v pump is about 13" from the bottom of the pump. The pump's themselves aren't that deep but if you want the 12v to start before there is water across the floor you'll need a bit deeper.. You really want that switch below the bottom of the drain inlets if you can get it.. For me I had to dig down about 22" and make the sump deeper..
