Battery Backup Sump Pumps
It’s always a good idea to have a high-quality battery backup system in your home for added peace of mind. A Battery Backup System helps in many situations:
- An electrical power outage
- Tripped circuit breaker
- Primary Sump Pump failure
- Major rain event
A functional sump pump is essential in keeping your basement dry.
What is the lifespan of a Battery Backup System?
Because these systems are not used frequently, like a primary sump system, you can expect to get 5 – 10 years out of your backup system. We offer a courtesy checkup one year after the original installation. Keep in mind, it is important to have the battery checked and the system serviced annually.
What are some of the different types of battery backup sump pumps?
There are two basic types of battery backup systems, DC and AC pumps. DC pumps are more economical and tend to run off the battery and typically cannot be used as a long-term primary solution. Whereas the AC pumps can run off the battery short term, or long term off the houses electrical current.
What is the best Battery Backup Pump for my home?
U.S. Waterproofing offers three different back up sump pumps named for their gallons per hour pumping capacity, the BOSS 2100, BOSS 3100, and BOSS 4000 Deluxe. The best battery backup pump depends on each individual home’s geographical location as well as house size and local water table (the level of moisture in the ground).
Do I need a Battery Backup if I have a generator?
No, you do not need a Battery Backup Pump if you have a properly operating generator. For those who have invested in an automatic backup generator, you may want to consider a dual alternating primary sump pump system. By installing a second primary pump in the sump basin and plugging both pumps into an alternating controller, this gives the homeowner, total peace of mind.
