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.

“When I lose power to the house, it usually happens because of flooding in the area. Though my battery backup system was fine for a short period of time, and I if I would have time to get my generator running for long outages, this system removes those limitations. This will need no human intervention even when we are without power for an extended period of time.The system works as advertised. I would not use this as my primary pump because it uses public water to run, but it's an excellent choice as a backup.I still have to cover the pit because I have a radon issue, so you can ignore the large white pipe.I added a water hammer arrestor and a fill valve so I can test it, so you can also ignore all the blue pipes too.There is a one-way check valve for the water supply. That check valve is not necessary per the instructions.There is a discharge check valve on the primary pump, but per the instructions you do not install a check valve on the JetPump because it's unnecessary and would reduce performance. Re performance, I used 45 degree turns rather than 90 degree turns. If you don't have space, I don't anticipate using 90 degree turns would be an issue, it would simply be less efficient. I had the room, so I opted to maximize efficiency.The only expected negative is that it will require more physical space in the pit, and I will have to work on how best to seal the pit because of the radon exhaust pipe. Since I have the room, I will simply be building a box around the entire thing and using roofing rubber grommets around the PVC pipes to help make a good seal.Again, excellent Backup System, I would still use a traditional sump pump for the primary system.”

“The SJ10 SumpJet Water Powered Back-Up Pump has been a standard feature for houses constructed by the builder of my home for about 15 years. I'm not the original owner, but I can attest that these back-up sump pumps work! The area I live in has had a heavy driving rain all day. The main sump pump has been firing all day. My community's electricity was interrupted about an hour ago, and I was concerned about my basement flooding. Well, long story short, the back-up system kicked on seamlessly. What a relief. It's relatively quiet and kept up with the pumping demands until the power was restored.”
