I'm bouncing ideas around here.
I want to use this as an up pump for a clawfoot tub that will get used about 4 times a weeks.
I want to use this instead of and electric pump because I do not like the idea of people sitting in water that has even the slightest posibility of an electrical malfunction.
I called the company and he said he never thought of it, but didn't see why this wouldn't work in this application.
I already have a container to put the pump into that is plumbed to the tub drain and overflow.. The container is as high as the top of tub so it won't over flow unless tub overflows.
My questions are these?
How will soapy water affect the pump? Can periodic cleaning help?
How will rise affect the pumping ability? Will it make any difference if the rise 0-3" vs 2'
After looking at all this and doing the math. It looks like the money is the same as if I just bought a $200 self contained up pump, but still there is that electrical bath tub issue.
Does anyone know of a low voltage discharge pump I could install in the sump?
I appreciate your advice and ideas.
