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.

“Best back up sump pump you can buy. Power went out just 3 weeks after the installation and it worked flawless for two days. I like the sure on off switch. That is the problem with other pumps that turn on and stay on. This one appears to have a much better switch process. Very Happy”

“I'm a licensed plumber in Ohio, I would definitely recommend this product over a battery back up sump. Please do not install into existing sump discharge line like the other pictures and reviews posted here. It says in directions to install sj-10 with its own discharge line exiting house. If you tie into existing sump discharge line you run the high risk of flooding your house with the city water pressure. Great product, but please follow directions.”

“This can save the day. While this is not as powerful unit as a regular sump pump it works when your other one doesn't. Electric sump pumps can be finicky and need electricity but this one works off water flow and pressure and can save the day when your power is out or your switch goes bad. Gives me piece of mind! After coming home to water in the basement a couple of times, I rest a little easier when I am gone and its storming. It can be installed by a home owner but you do need some skills and patience. Make sure and follow instructions if you want it to work efficiently.”

“I installed this after we experienced an abnormally high amount of rain during the spring of 2015. My primary sump was able to keep up, but I was concerned with possible power outages or if my primary pump failed.Installation was a breeze using SharkBite adapters and PEX pipe. The only tedious part of this task was attaching the pump to the lid of my sump pit. My goal was to create a complete seal once I placed the assembly into the pit. This is because I have a radon mitigation system that requires a sealed sump pit. To complete this task, I needed to remove the float assembly and slide the sump pit lid onto this pump. I then replaced the float assembly, creating one unit that included this pump and my sump pump lid.It has been nearly six months since I have installed this. It has not needed to kick on, but I test it every other month to verify its operation. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.”

“A hefty product, no doubt, but a little vague on directions which is why 4 stars and not 5 stars. I had to visit one website (SharkBite) and call Liberty 800 SUpport to figure out what the Manual was talking about on a couple points. All in all, an easy installation and it works as advertised so far. This replaces a cheaper make and model from another company that leaked after a month.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this pump. Above all it's the piece of mind you have when the lights go out and the water is flowing in that you don't have to worry about your basement flooding.I installed a fill line right off the main feed line (the valve with the red handle in the picture) so I can test the pump every once in a while. I plan on testing it once a year, which has ended up being used a lot to show my friends and family how well this cool little pump works.”

“Installation was a chore which requires a good amount of planning and buying adapters, but once you have everything, it works really well. I believe installation is possible for anybody that is relatively handy. I use it as a backup sump pump in case the first one goes out or the power goes out. I recommend using Sharkbite products for push-to-fit installation. Also, make sure you use a check valve, or back flow preventer, between the main water line and this product to prevent back flow into the city water supply.”

“Tested it out during a power outage and it worked well. Easy installation.”
