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.

“It's a good back up system for existing pumps, this is what I use it for.”

“The install ended up more complicated and expensive than I’d planned since it is directed not to share an outlet with the existing sump pump. Makes sense in hindsight but it meant a change in my install plans.I actually had my primary pump fail while this was on order, and a cheap water alarm I’d bought months before alerted me and saved my basement. it’s nice to know this is in place now.”

“Very easy to install. I had to use the board mount option because I have a separate overflow pit. There is a layout page in the manual that showed exactly how to cut the board for mounting. The performance is very good in my opinion. I have 5.5 ft. of head and standard city water pressure (sorry, I don't know the exact pressure). The pump drops the water level in the pit about 2 inches in 15 sec.”

“Installed as a backup to our Liberty 257 Pump. Plumber was in the basement for around two hours to install everything with an existing outflow pipe.This pump was slow emptying the water pit... So the best this pump offers us is to buy us some time until we can hook up our generator. We don't think this pump could keep up with a strong inflow of Rainwater with the primary pump offline.Even though plumbingsupplyandmore suggests it, you do not need a check valve for this pump. It has a built-in check valve.In some ways I wish that this pump was louder so we would know it is in action. It is all all but silent in operation. Maybe an alarm that indicated it was in use.”

“Je suis en accord avec tout les commentaires positifs que j’ai consulté, sauf que pour mon installation j’aurais préféré que la sortie d’évacuation coude 90 degré ne serait pas collé pour plus de possibilité d’installation de direction plus approprié.”
