Hello Cory. The iON BA-33 1/3HP pump requires a 1-1/2" discharge pipe, preferably PVC SCH40 and comes with a 10 foot power cord and plug, ready to plug into a dedicated 120V outlet.

Can the StormPro 1/2 HP Cast Iron Stainless Steel Sump Pump be used with back-up battery or it must be plug in to an electrical outlet.

Answer
The StormPro model BA-50M, 1/2HP sump pump is designed to be operated on 120 volts AC. There currently is no battery capable of powering a 120 volt primary sump pump. The only possible options would be an AUXILARY POWER SYSTEM which will operate up to a 1/2HP pump for up to 10-12 hours continuous or 24-36 hours non-continuous, a complete BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM or looking into the possibility of installing a STANDBY GENERATOR.

Answer
Pump warranties vary from 1 year to 5 years depending on the pump and the manufacturer. That being said, all pumps should last a good 5-7 years or more providing they are installed properly.

Answer
Unfortunately not! Your only options would be the Pro Series Ultimate Sensor Pump Controller System, model USC3 or the Superior Pump Wide Angle Tether Float Switch w/ Piggyback Plug, model 92005. The Pro Series switch can be adjusted to pump for 5 - 45 seconds once the water level drops below the sensor and the Superior tether float has an adjustable pumping range of 7” to 36”.
