“Great product keeps my sump pump going when the power is out. Just make sure to check battery with a load on it. Just because the pump turns on doesn't mean it has the juice to pump the water.”
“I replaced the 15-year-old sump in our house with this system. The one thing I'd say is DO NOT drill a weep hole in the pvc below the main backflow check valve like the instructions say because the pressure this pump creates sprays out the weep hole and splatters everywhere inside the pit and even out of the pit if you don't have a tight cover on it (I just installed a second one of these and they leave that out of the current instructions). I put a screw in the hole to plug it. I haven't had a problem with the back drain causing the pump to kick back on at this point because there is a back-flow valve right above the pump. I have written complete instructions on how to install this, search for sump pump at shareyourrepair.com The new version of this charger has an LCD display and keeps track of the cycles run and when my aunt purchased the system linked here they got the newer version, btw.”
“installation of the system was easy. I chose to install a water alarm so that if the primary pump fails, the water alarm sounds prior to the backup pump turning on. twice in the last 3 months I've lost power and the backup has saved the basement!! Prior to installing the backup, I had lost power while I was at work and came home to about 4 inches of water in the basement. Well worth it!!”
