2. This pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT
discharge. If a 1-1/4 in. discharge pipe
is desired, an adapter (not included)
will be necessary. Smaller diameter
piping will reduce pump flow, rate and
performance.
3. A check valve will be required in the
discharge line of both the Main AC
pump and the ESP25 pump to prevent
recirculation of water into the sump
pit. System will not function without
two check valves.
4. Cut a 4 ft. section of 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2
in. diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 1-
1/2 in. pipe to a threaded fitting.
Cement 1-1/4 in. pipe into pipe
coupling. Attach 1-1/4 in. pipe section
to the ESP25 discharge adapter.
5. Screw on to pump discharge.
careful not to strip or
cross thread plastic
fittings or check valves. Flex hose is not
recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe is
required for a permanent installation.
6. Place the pump with the 4' section of
PVC pipe on the sump floor or on an
elevated surface if required.
7. Attach a rubber check valve (sold
separately) to the top of the discharge
pipe. This will allow the pump or check
valve to be removed easily for
servicing.

8. Duplicate the discharge piping
arrangement for the primary AC pump if
the existing discharge line has to be
adjusted to accommodate a second pump.
9. Glue a 45º elbow to the short pipe on the
ESP25 pump. Glue a "Y" adapter to the
short pipe on the existing pump, as shown
in illustration for Method 2.
10. Glue a short piece of PVC pipe between
the 45º elbow and the "Y".
NOTE: Check valves can be placed directly in
the pump discharge if desired. However, for
ease of disassembly, it is recommended that
check valves be placed above the sump as
shown in Figure 2, page 2.
The remainder of the discharge pipe
installation will vary depending on individual
circumstances. Using sound plumbing
practices, route the discharge pipe to an
Be
exterior wall by the shortest distance.
Methods 1 and 2
Install float switch at least 10 in.-12 in. above
bottom of sump pit so that backup unit turns
on only when the water level is higher than
the normal "on" level for primary pump. Use
the wire ties provided to secure the switch to
the discharge pipe. Make sure power wires do
not interfere with float switch, pump inlet, or
main pump operation. Backup pump must not
be allowed to run dry.

With a fully charged battery, test Back-up
Pump operation by filling the sump with
water while the primary pump is
unplugged. If the Back-up Pump operates
properly, plug the charger into the GFCI
protected outlet and the primary pump
into a separate GFCI outlet.
After installation, the standby pump will
start when the water level rises above
the depth that the primary pump should
start.
The control box has a DC charger
designed to shorten the recharging time
of your battery, and to prevent
overcharging. In addition, the control box
has a time delay which keeps the pump
