So, while a new battery may give you 8 hours of run time, a three-year-old battery may have only 2 or 3 hours of run time. As any battery ages, its charge capacity reduces. Once you’ve installed a battery backup with a brand-new battery, you will get about 7 to 8 hours of run time. If you’re curious, we have a comparison chart at the bottom summarizing each criteria for both battery and water-powered backups.
Cost: What is the cost of the pump over its entire life?. Life Span: What is the total life of the pump before you have to replace it?. Run Time: How long can the backup pump continuously run?. We’ll take a look at 4 main criteria to compare both pumps: The question is, which does a better job and why? Water-powered backup sump pumps run using your home’s municipal water pressure-no batteries or electricity are needed at all.īoth types of backup sump pumps are designed to protect your basement from flooding in the case of a power failure or a mechanical failure that would prevent your primary sump pump from operating. However, water-powered backups have been steadily growing in popularity as homeowners become aware of their advantages. This is a COMPLETE Sump Pump System – plumbed w/a battery back-up in a sump pump barrel.The most common is battery backups, which require purchasing both the pump itself and also a battery separately. This helps give homeowners peace of mind that the high water alarm will work during a power outage to warn them of a possible sump pump failure. The high water alarm chirps if the battery is going dead. Our style of sump pump alarm is powered by electricity and a 9-volt battery (battery not included). The alarm will automatically reset once the high water level condition is cleared. The horn can be turned off, but the alarm light will remain on until the condition is remedied. If a high water alarm condition occurs, the horn sounds and alarm light activates. Our High Water Alarm provides both audio and visual warnings of potential threatening high water level conditions in sump pump basins, lift pump chambers, holding tanks, sewage, agricultural and other water applications. The high water alarm does not pump water, but warns homeowners that there is an issue with their sump pump(s) as the water level in the sump basin is rising. The high water alarm is sometimes also called a sump pump alarm. Lid Only (radon protected sealed lid) (Installer needs to fasten)Ī high water alarm is the last line of defense in alerting homeowners of a potential problem before disaster hits. The sealed lid is also very sturdy – holding up to 250 lbs of weight. Our Sump Pump Basin Lid has a rubber gasket so there is an airtight seal between the barrel and the lid, protecting homeowners from dangerous gasses such as radon. 
Our sump pump basin is built strong structurally with very stiff basin walls and has a wide flat bottom for stable sump pump installation. The check valve is designed so it can be easily removed to replace the sump pump if necessary. With the two flap silent check valves, it eliminates water flowing back down the pipe and slamming the check valve shut. With its heavy duty motor, the Sumptek can pump up to 2,700 gallons of water an hour.
