The HOME GUARD pump can be installed as a standby to an electric sump pump (see typical installation above).
This pump uses water pressure from a garden hose as its power source. The amount of water it will pump varies greatly depending on the water pressure supplied to it. With water flowing the inlet water supply pressure should always be above 22psi.

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions:

The typical discharge is 1 1/4" (female pipe threads)
The inlet is 3/4" (female pipe threads)

It comes with a check valve.
It comes with an easy to understand, installation sheet.

The following are replaceable parts:
Pump housing
Connecting hose - 30" garden hose, 3/4" FHT swivel x hose (fits over a barbed fitting)
Hose clamp
Coupling
Ejector
Ejector seal
2 ea O rings
Calibrated weight

Normally, a primary pump should come with a check valve but if it does not have a check valve, you will need to install one (not provided).

The HOME GUARD pump should be regularly checked for its proper operation and cleanliness, especially around the suction screen and the ejector port. Clean as required.

The hose from the switch output to the pump inlet is provided - 30" garden hose, 3/4" FHT swivel x hose (fits over a barbed fitting).

The water level switch and float are provided.

The HOME GUARD body itself is approx. 16" tall, 5 1/4" wide. From the bottom of the pump to the top of the water supply valve is approx. 40".
