INSTALLATION

BEFORE INSTALLING THE  SUMP PUMP 

SMART OUTLET, VERIFY THAT YOUR SUMP PUMP IS IN 

GOOD WORKING CONDITION! REPLACE IF NECESSARY!
1.  CONNECT THE SMART OUTLET TO YOUR WI-FI 

NETWORK AND INSTALL THE  APP ON 

YOUR DEVICE.

2.  UNPLUG YOUR SUMP PUMP AND ANY OTHER CORDS 

FROM THE WALL A/C OUTLET

3.  PLUG THE SMART OUTLET INTO WALL A/C OUTLET

A.  Remove the existing outlet cover screw and then secure 

the Smart Outlet to the power outlet with the included 

mounting screw. If removing the screw is not possible 

or desired, make sure the outlet is firmly plugged into the 

power outlet and is flush as possible with the wall.

B.  The Smart Outlet is not designed to be used 

with extension cords or power strips. If you have 

multiple devices that require the use of a power strip, a 

power strip can be connected to the lower plug outlet 

on the Smart Outlet.

4.  CONNECT OTHER DEVICES TO THE LOWER 

STANDARD OUTLET, IF APPLICABLE.

5.  INSTALL THE HIGH WATER SENSOR, CLAMPING 

TO THE DISCHARGE PIPE OF YOUR SUMP PUMP.

A.  Adjust the position of the mounting bracket so 

the high water sensor does not interfere with the 

operation of the main sump pump switch.

B.  Adjust the height of the mounting bracket so the 

high water sensor is activated when the water level 

reaches approx. 1” higher than the “on” level of your 

main sump pump.

C.  If you have a secondary sump pump/battery backup 

pump, make sure the high water sensor is activated 

BETWEEN the “on” level of the main sump pump and 

the “on” level of the secondary/backup pump. 

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE 2 
WORKING SUMP PUMPS INSTALLED IN YOUR HOME, 
SPECIFICALLY ONE THAT CAN OPERATE IN THE EVENT OF 
A POWER OUTAGE. THE  SUMP PUMP SMART 
OUTLET WILL NOT OPERATE YOUR SUMP PUMP IN THE 
EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE. ALTHOUGH  
WILL SEND YOU ALERTS WHEN YOUR PUMP HAS AN 
ISSUE, WE RECOMMEND HAVING A BACKUP PUMP THAT 
CAN TAKE OVER PUMPING DUTY UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE 
COMPLETED.

The High Water Sensor 

should be mounted 

1” 

higher than the “on” level 

of main sump pump

IMPORTANT!

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
