THESE CODES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITHYOUR SAFETY IN MIND. BE SURE YOU COMPLY WITH THEM.WE RECOMMEND THAT A SEPARATE CIRCUIT BE LEAD FROM THE HOME ELECTRI-CAL DISTRIBUTION PANEL PROPERLY PROTECTED WITH A FUSE OR A CIRCUITBREAKER. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT BE USED. CONSULT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN FOR ALL WIRING.THE GROUND TERMINAL ON THE THREE PRONG PLUGS SHOULD NEVER BEREMOVED. THEY ARE SUPPLIED AND DESIGNED FOR YOUR PROTECTION.NEVER MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE OR PRODUCT WITHTHE POWER CONNECTED. DO NOT ONLY UNSCREW THE FUSE OR TRIP THE BREAK-ER, REMOVE THE POWER PLUG FROM THE RECEPTACLE.ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE A SUMP PIT LOCATED IN YOUR BASEMENT FLOOR...YOUR SUMP PIT SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED FROM CONCRETE, BRICK, TILE ORMORE RECENTLY A SUMP BASIN MADE FROM PLASTIC AND/OR FIBERGLASS. THEMINIMUM SIZE OF YOUR SUMP PIT MUST BE 18” IN DIAMETER AND NO LESS THAN 25”DEEP.

INSTALLATION STEPS(see diagram on page 5)We recommend that you install your SUMP BUDDY in a location where there is adequateroom 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/ordischarge 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 ordebris in water should be removed from the sump pit.Remove electrical power of your existing conventional sump pump and verify that this sumppump is equipped with a check valve at pump discharge. If not, add a check valve beforecontinuing your installation. The sump pump check valve should be located at the primarypump discharge and installed below the “Y” fitting.Locate your SUMP BUDDY in an ideal position and cut the existing discharge line to installthe T or Y fitting. Cut the desired length of pipe to connect the discharge line from the checkvalve 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 bottomof the sump pit be approximately 2”.STEP 1STEP 2STEP 3STEP 4Check valve requiredas per step 2.350353 1 ½”4Close municipal water supply. Run a supply line (not less than 1/2”, 3/4” recommended) to theideal position for an easy operation of the automatic control valve of the SUMP BUDDY. Install a ball valve near the pump area, to close water supply for servicing at a later date.Flush this new line, before next step, to remove any debris which may obstruct the water flow inyour SUMP BUDDY.Screw the automatic control valve to the supply line.Install the 900 galvanized bracket to the automatic control valve by using the two screws supplied.Install the stainless steel rod by simply screwing the two parts together. Using thelarge coupling, secure the rod connection.The top screw is to secure the top part andthe bottom screw is to secure the bottom partof the rod. The next step is to install the float by simplypassing the rod throught the float opening. Thenuse the small couplings to secure the float to therod by simply screwing the unit to the rod.The float should be set at least 2” higher thanthe conventional electrical pump setting, so thatthe back-up pump will not start prior to the mainelectrical pump. To complete the float installa-tion, simply insert the stainless steel rodthrought the 900 bracket, then install a rubbergrommet below the control valve level, theninsert the shaft throught the control valve andinsert the second grommet on the top, then setthe grommet adjustement to the proper locationto properly adjust the setting.Fix the vacuum breaker to the automatic control valve and screw the connecting hose. Adjust the length of the connecting hose and fix it to the sump buddy with a clamp.You are now ready to test your SUMP BUDDY. Restart municipal water supply, and confirm thatthere are no leaks in supply line. Try the automatic control valve by drawing up the lever. Waterwill go through the SUMP BUDDY. Push down the lever to shut off water flow.Fill the sump pit with water. Verify the action of the automatic control valve and the level of waterto start your SUMP BUDDY, then repeat the operation many times.Turn on electrical power of the conventionnal sump pump and verify the entire system.STEP 8STEP 9STEP 10STEP 11STEP 12STEP 6STEP 7STEP 13STEP 14STEP 15STEP 16STEP 5FOR INFORMATION TEL: 514.337.4415 FAX: 514.337.4029STEP 11STEP 8 STEP 9STEP 10FOR INFORMATION TEL: 514.337.4415 FAX: 514.337.40295STEP 2Remove electricalpower and verify forcheck valve.STEP 3Install T or Y fittingand link dischargelines together.STEP 4Adjust in verticalposition and leave2” under SUMPBUDDY.2”STEP 5Run a supply linewith a ball valvenear pump area.STEP 6Flush line toremove debris.STEP 7Screw automaticcontrol valve.STEP 11Install float and rodto automatic valve.STEP 12Fix vacuumbreaker.STEP 8Install the floatbracket.STEP 9Assemble float rod.STEP 10Install float.
