Imagine a power outage and your sump pump goes useless during a thunderstorm. Or what if your sump pump fails prematurely or is at the end of its life (about 7 years)? Would you know before it's too late? A Battery Backup sump pump is your best insurance to protect your basement and any valuables you may store in it.
A Battery Backup Pump saves the day when your regular sump pump:
• Fails as a result of a power outage
• Has unexpected pump failure
• Has a float switch failure
• Is unable to keep up with incoming water
A backup pump is an inexpensive insurance policy eliminating the headaches and cost associated with a flooded basement.
How Does It Work?
Your AC/DC battery backup pump will switch automatically to battery when power fails or your main pump breaks. It can also pump along with your main pump when there is more water than your main pump can handle. A backup pump will typically handle 1000 to 2200 gallons per hour. It also has a maintenance alarm to notify you that service is needed. It's the best insurance for your basement and belongings!
Sump Pump Tip
It is important to check your sump pump regularly to make sure it is in proper working condition.
1) Remove the cover and slowly pour water into the sump pit.
2) Watch for the "float" to rise and trigger the pump.
3) Once the pump is engaged, the water level will quickly lower and the float will shut off the pump. This is what is called "a normal sump cycle".
