Do I Need a Battery Backup for My Sump Pump?
Sump Pumps
A sump pump is your home's last line of defense against flooding. But most pumps have a fatal flaw: they plug into the wall. When a heavy storm knocks out your power, your pump stops working exactly when the water levels are rising fastest.
The Solution: Battery Backup
A battery backup system is a second, smaller pump that runs on a powerful marine-grade battery. It sits in the pit alongside your main pump.
- Power Outage Protection: It kicks in automatically when the AC power fails.
- Primary Pump Failure: It also turns on if your main pump burns out or gets clogged.
- Volume Assist: In extreme flooding, both pumps can run simultaneously to double the pumping capacity.
