I had a 2017 and it pumps very little water compared to
submersible pumps.

In a sump, likely you need to push water several feet high
and the canister will pump very little water if at all.

If you want to try, make sure you do a disconnect power test to
make sure:
1. Your sump will not overflow.
2. Pump can restart itself.
