Frequently Asked Questions

A fully charged, high-quality deep-cycle battery can typically run the backup pump continuously for several hours, or intermittently for a few days depending on how much water is entering the pit.

Yes, just like a car battery, these units lose their ability to hold a full charge over time. We generally recommend replacing the battery every three to five years to ensure maximum reliability.

Absolutely. The backup system has its own independent float switch. If the water rises past the primary pump for any reason, the battery backup will automatically kick in to keep your basement dry

Yes, the system includes a smart charger that plugs into your wall outlet. Once your neighborhood power is restored, it automatically recharges the battery so it is ready for the next storm.
