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 pump is awesome. I had to give it it's own discharge piping because the check valves they make for PVC systems never seem to work and the pump would always push the water back through the old electric pump I have installed in tandem.”

“Installed and tested by unplugging my primary pump all day yesterday after heavy rain. It's working great. Pumps a lot of water, no problem emptying my sump pit. I only have 1/2" water lines in my home, so I converted to 3'4" about 24" from intake. I'm sure this decreases the specs of what pump can do, however it is still plenty adequate for my application in my basement. Bring on the next power outage.”

“Great price. Doesn't have a lot of water moving power as I only have a 1/2" water line feeding it, but it still works well. Takes about 20 seconds to pump down my sump while my main sump pump pumps the water down in about 7 seconds. We installed another one at my mothers house with a 3/4" connection and it sucks the sump down almost as fast as the main sump pump... Look for a 3/4" water line to feed this jet pump there is a significant difference in flow...”

“A must, in my opinion, for when the power goes out! I've installed a couple of these. It's nice not to have to run around like an idiot to fire my generator or if I'm not home. Would love to have a natural gas Generator, just can't afford it right now.”

“This pump is very easy to install if you have experience in running water lines (either copper or pex) and the knowledge of sump pump installation. I have not seen in full operation, but I have been able to test it and runs quite and expels water at a good rate.”

“Best water driven sump pump backup for it's price point. I have installed dozens of them through my Business, www.ToledoBasements.com . All of my customers have been completely satisfied with this products performance.”

“Fantastic idea, and definitely relieves anxiety around main sump pump failure or power outage, particularly as we have had severe water damage in our basement due to a previous main pump failure during a heavy rainstorm. We'd give it five stars, but haven't done more than basic tests after installation, so we're trusting it will work under actual emergency conditions (although no reason to think it will not!).”
