Installing the Pipe and Pump

The Basement Watchdog combination system is

compact and will fit in a sump pit as small as

10” wide and 14” high (the size of a 5 gallon

bucket). It measures 17

“ inches from the

bottom of the pump to the top of the Y-

connector where it will be attached to the

discharge pipe.

Use a pit that

conforms to all local

codes, and check the

code to see if a gate

valve or ball valve is

required.

The path of the

vertical discharge

pipe to an exterior

wall should have the

shortest path with the fewest turns. The more

turns will reduce the pumping capacity.The

discharge pipe must be positioned in a

downward slope so any remaining water will

drain away. Failure to do this will prevent water

from exiting the pit and damage the pump if the

line freezes. (see Diagram A)

The system should be placed on a flat surface

free from dirt and debris. If the bottom of the

sump pit is not clean, remove as much of the

debris as possible. You may place a pump stand

or bricks on the floor of the sump pit to raise the

pump above the debris.

If you are replacing an old sump pump, unplug

the pump from the outlet.

1. Remove the check valve or rubber union. If the

existing system is installed without a check

valve or rubber union, saw the pipe apart

above the sump pit per #3 below. Discard the

check valve. The Basement Watchdog system

contains built-in check valves, so the old

check valve will not be needed.

2. Remove the old pump from the pit, and

unscrew the pipe and pipe adapter from the

pump.

3. Measure the distance from the bottom of the

sump pit (or from the top of the bricks in the

sump pit) to the end of the discharge pipe.

Subtract 18-3/4 inches (the height of the

pump system + 1 inch). Cut a piece of 1-1/2”

rigid PVC pipe to that length.

4. (a) Connect this piece to the discharge pipe

by cementing the two pieces together with a

1-1/2” PVC pipe connector. (Follow the

instructions on the PVC pipe cleaner and

cement.) or, (b) connect the two pieces of

pipe together with a rubber union.

5. Remove the assembled pump system from the

shipping carton by lifting the strap at the

bottom of the unit and supporting the top of

the unit with your hand. Stand the unit

on the ground near the sump pit.

Visually inspect your pump. Products may be

damaged during shipping. If the product has

been damaged, contact your place of

purchase or Glentronics before installation.

6. Slip the lifting strap off of the pump.

7. Remove the attached cords and controllers

from the carton and place them next to the

pump system. BE SURE THE CORDS AND

CONTROLLERS DO NOT FALL INTO THE SUMP

PIT DURING THE INSTALLATION.

8. Loosen the hose clamps on the enclosed

rubber union, and slide the union up on the

discharge pipe until it is even with the

bottom of the pipe.

9. Lift the combination system by the handle

on the primary pump and lower it into the

sump pit. Make sure it is level.

10. Inspect the two float switches. They should

both be vertical and positioned so that they

move smoothly without

hitting the pump or the wall

of the sump pit.

11. Position the top of the pump

system pipe so it is directly

below the discharge pipe.

Slide the rubber union down

until half of the rubber union

is covering the pump pipe,

and the other half is covering

the bottom of the discharge

pipe. Tighten the hose clamp

screws securely.
