Battery backup sump pumps that keep water moving during power outages, with a second pump, a charger, a controller and an alarm that tells you when to act.
Storms that bring heavy rain also bring power outages, and the main pump cannot run without electricity. A battery backup is a second pump with its own battery, charger and controller that takes over when the main pump stops or cannot keep up. Nashville storms can knock out power for hours, which is exactly when a sump pit fills, so a backup is one of the most valuable add-ons for a basement with a pump.
We look at your pit, the pump, the discharge line and the electrical outlet and recommend a backup that fits. We set the second pump slightly higher in the pit, connect it to its own discharge or to the main line with a check valve and install a deep-cycle battery in a vented box or an enclosure. We add a controller and an alarm that sounds when the main pump fails, when the backup runs or when the battery needs attention. We explain run times in general terms, which depend on the battery and the inflow, and show you how to test it and when to replace the battery.
