The Liberty Jet SJ10 (MPN: SJ10) water-powered backup sump pump delivers municipal water-driven basement flood protection during power outage emergencies and primary pump failures through its engineered venturi-effect ejector technology. This 3.5-pound thermoplastic emergency system operates entirely without electricity or battery charger dependency, utilizing city water pressure ranging from 20 PSI to 100 PSI to evacuate sump water through a fully automatic float-activated valve assembly that protects homeowners when conventional submersible primary sump pump systems lose power. The SJ10 model's factory-assembled ABS construction arrives ready for immediate wall-mount installation above existing discharge piping, providing secondary flood protection that professional plumbers and contractors specify for residential basement waterproofing applications where power outage vulnerability creates water damage risk exposure. Venturi-Effect Hydraulic Operation System & Zero-Electricity Municipal Water Pressure Pumping Technology The Liberty SJ10 backup pump system harnesses municipal water supply pressure through an internal venturi-effect ejector jet mechanism that creates powerful vacuum suction capable of removing 2 gallons of basement sump water for every 1 gallon of city water consumed at 5-foot lift conditions. This hydraulic operation principle eliminates all electrical components, motors, battery systems, and power requirements, allowing the SJ10 to function continuously during extended power outage scenarios when primary submersible sump pumps become inoperative due to electricity loss. The ejector assembly within the SJ10 unit forces municipal water through a precision-engineered nozzle restriction that accelerates water velocity while simultaneously reducing internal chamber pressure, generating the low-pressure vacuum zone that pulls basement water upward through the suction line from the sump pit basin. This physics-based pumping mechanism operates at peak efficiency when supplied with minimum 30 PSI municipal water pressure, though the system accepts inlet pressures ranging from 20 PSI up to the maximum 100 PSI threshold, with pumping performance scaling proportionally to available supply pressure. At 30 PSI minimum operational pressure, the SJ10 delivers approximately 990 gallons per hour at 10-foot head height, escalating to 1,185 gallons per hour maximum flow rate when supplied with optimal municipal water pressure conditions. The pump automatically activates through float switch triggering when rising water levels exceed the primary pump's shut-off elevation, requiring no homeowner intervention or manual switching during emergency flooding conditions. SharkBite Push-Fit Inlet Connection & 3/4-Inch NPT Municipal Water Supply Integration Features The Liberty SJ10 arrives factory-equipped with a pre-installed SharkBite push-type connector at the 3/4-inch NPT threaded inlet, accepting PEX tubing conforming to ASTM F876 and CSA B137.5 standards, copper pipe meeting ASTM B88 specifications, or Copper Tube Size CPVC pipe manufactured to ASTM D2846 and CSA B137.6 certifications. This tool-free connection system eliminates the need for soldering, crimping, or threaded assembly procedures, allowing straightforward integration with existing municipal water supply lines during backup pump installation projects. The SharkBite fitting technology utilizes an internal grab ring mechanism that secures tubing or pipe through push-to-connect insertion, requiring only that installers cut supply lines square with clean edges free of burrs or surface scratches within one inch of the connection point. Proper installation demands pushing the tubing firmly until it contacts the internal tube stop, followed by a firm pull test to verify secure seating without requiring the release collar for disconnection.

“This is a must for anyone that has water issues in the basement and no back up power source. The pump seemed a little cheap out of the box, being that is is mostly plastic. I don’t think this will effect its longevity. This installs pretty easily. The hardest part is knowing what backflow preventer to install and you definitely need a backflow preventer. The pump’s flow rate is more than adequate. I was not able to use a 3/4” water supply and instead used a 1/2”. For my application with the city water pressure and about 7 feet to the discharge the 1/2” worked fine.”

“Fantastic backup pump. Not a first time thing to install though. You'll need to know how to cut and glue pvc together, as well as running a feed line to it from your main supply.I have a pex manifold i put in recently so i thought i could get away with using a 1/2" supply line. It works but is very slow with that amount of flow. I'll be changing over to the proper 3/4" line soon.This is strictly a backup pump, instructions were great, don't forget a secondary check valve for your feed line. Many states require this to meet code. I just called my local building code department and they told me exactly what I needed.”

“The pump was delivered exactly as described. Worked effectively after my primary pump failed on August 6,2018 .Also important to note that it was working while I replaced the primary pump the following day.. I have recommended this product multiple times.”

“I didn't see any pictures of installations with pedestal pumps so I added some. After a little thought I was able to get it to work. I used hose clamps to attach it to my existing pumps motor.I have a 9 foot lift and this thing works great! Pumps 4 inches of water out of the sump in about 10 seconds. Wonderful piece of mind during storms or when traveling.”

“I have 2 sump pumps that run regularly (every 15 mins) during rainstorms. I installed one of these Liberty Pumps in each pit as a backup for when the power goes out during storms. The install is pretty straightforward. The peace of mind is fabulous. Highly recommend.”
