Compact Water Powered Backup Sump Pump with Alarm
Category: water powered backup sump pump
This water-powered backup sump pump, including a battery-powered high water alarm, is mounted on the ceiling above the sump, not in the sump itself, keeping it clean and dry until needed. It uses the water pressure from your home's water supply to pump water from your sump. The pump is made of high-quality, durable materials and features a completely hydraulic float and valve system for reliable, long-lasting operation. It is suitable for use with Radon covers and is a reliable back-up sump pump for most homes.
A back-up sump pump is a necessity in every home. You will need to supply the water pipe and fittings to connect the pump to your water supply, as well as a 1" PVC pipe for the suction from the bottom of the sump to the ceiling-mounted pump. When testing your water supply, ensure that you can fill a 5-gallon bucket at your outside hose spigot, without the hose, in less than 40 seconds, as this will indicate that you have enough water flow to properly feed the pump.
It's important to note that if you have a water softener, filter, or frost-proof spigot, the water flow test may not be accurate. If you have any questions, please call 800 554 1426 before ordering.
Amazon may offer installation services for this product, which may seem reasonable. However, keep in mind that a basic installation typically takes around three hours, so consider that when obtaining bids from contractors.
The most important aspect of these water-powered backup sump pumps is that they use the municipal water supply's pressure, eliminating the need for electricity, batteries, or chargers. This makes them extremely reliable, as they can operate during power outages without relying on any electrical components.
The detailed installation instructions included make it easy for even a handy homeowner or weekend warrior to install the pump, saving time and money. The simple design also ensures easy maintenance, with any and all parts being easily repairable or replaceable if needed.
Additionally, the water alarm included with the purchase is a 9-volt battery-powered device that warns you of rising water levels in the sump. This alarm, with its 85 dB sound, is likely to be heard almost anywhere in your home.
In conclusion, this water-powered backup sump pump is a cost-effective, maintenance-free solution that mounts on the ceiling, keeping it clean and dry until needed. It works with Radon-sealed systems and has no moving parts to break, making it a reliable and long-lasting option for your home's backup sump pump needs.
