Battery Powered Backup Sump Pumps

At Pride Plumbing of Rochester, we recommend the following models and series of battery-powered backup sump pumps:

Model 441

This model is an emergency sump pump system that’s powered by a 12-volt battery. Should your power fail, this model will automatically turn on and begin to work.

The model includes:

• A high output submersible pump

• An automatic, mercury-free switch

• A control panel

• A battery box (note that the battery is not included)

• A 12-volt charger

• A tee, check valve, and bushings for 1.25 or 1.5-inch connections

One of the other great features of this model is the fact that it comes with an audible in-use alarm system and light. It also self-resets after 24 hours of silence.

To learn more, consult the model 441 brochure.

Maintenance & Care for Battery Backup Sump Pump Systems

By signing up for our Blue or Stars and Stripes Service Agreement, you will be guaranteed annual maintenance checks on your sump pump and backup sump pump systems. However, you may want to perform monthly maintenance to ensure proper operation of your pumps.

• Make sure you disconnect any power to the pumps

• Check pump for debris or build up; make sure the float operation doesn’t have any restrictions

• Reconnect power back to sump pump

• Add enough water to the pump so that the backup pump turns on and properly empties out water; then connect primary pump to the wall outlet

• Check that the primary pump turns on & lowers the water to the normal operating level & then turns off

• Use the test button to confirm proper protection & operation of the pump

• Clean case & cord with a dry cloth & check the charger condition frequently: when checking the battery, use only biodegradable cleaner-neutralizer that is safe to apply & disposable through a sanitary sewer; Make sure cables are intact & cable-to-terminal connections are free of corrosion
