Premium High Volume Water Powered Backup Sump Pump with Water Alarm and Installation Kit
Category: water powered backup sump pump
The Basepump HB1000-PRO is a high-volume, water-powered backup sump pump designed for easy, do-it-yourself installation. It features a built-in brass dual check valve to prevent backflow, along with a battery-powered high water alarm. This unique design sets it apart, as the pump is mounted on the ceiling, keeping it clean and dry until needed. Using water pressure to remove water from the sump, the Basepump HB1000-PRO meets most local plumbing codes for backflow prevention and offers greater efficiency and higher pumping rates.
One of the key advantages of this model is the included installation parts, such as push-fit pipe fittings similar to "Shark-Bite Brand," which work with copper, PEX, or CPVC piping. This makes the installation process straightforward, as the unit comes equipped with a brass dual check valve backflow preventer, brass shutoff valve, tee, and adapter. In contrast, the standard HB1000 model does not include these additional components.
During the installation process, users must supply the water pipe and 1-1/4" PVC pipe for the suction from the sump's bottom to the ceiling. It's essential to ensure that the outdoor hose spigot can fill a 5-gallon bucket in less than 30 seconds, as this indicates sufficient water flow to properly feed the pump. If the user has a water softener, filter, or frost-proof spigot, the water flow test may not accurately reflect the true water supply capabilities.
The Basepump HB1000-PRO is an extremely reliable and powerful water-powered backup sump pump system that operates fully automatically, without the need for the homeowner to be present. By utilizing the municipal water supply's pressure, these pumps do not require electricity, batteries, or chargers, making them a dependable option during power outages.
Detailed installation instructions and all necessary plumbing parts are included, simplifying the installation process and saving time and money. Additionally, the included 9-volt battery-powered water alarm warns the homeowner of rising water levels, with an 85 dB alarm that can be heard throughout the home.
One of the standout features of the Basepump HB1000-PRO is its low-maintenance design. Mounted on the ceiling, it avoids the sump, eliminating the need for moving parts that can break or wear out over time. This cost-effective solution requires no repairs or replacements in most cases, making it a durable and reliable choice for homeowners.
