Outage protection
Storms Take Out Power Exactly When the Pump Is Needed
The heaviest rain and the power outage usually arrive together. A battery backup keeps the pit under control while the grid is down.
Common warning signs
- Basement flooded during a past outage
- Sump pump running almost constantly in wet weather
- A single pump with no secondary protection
Common causes
- Storm-related power failures
- Primary pump motor or float failure
- Discharge volume beyond one pump's capacity
- Aging pumps nearing end of life
