Which one do I want?
What does a Backup Sump do that a Backup Battery Pack won’t do for a Sump Pump? Thanks.

A sump pump is to pump out the water when it gets up to the sensor on the pump and turns on. Is this in a boat? A backup battery pack is nice, but if the sump pump breaks down or quits, the backup battery will not do you any good. A Backup sump pump is a good idea, but mount it about an inch higher than the primary pump, and them if will not be turning on and off all the time at the same time the primary pump does. If the primary pump quits, and then the secondary is mounted one inch higher, then it will keep the water out when the other fails, and only be one inch more water. Teddybearalso

I fell as though this is a loaded question. They are both in the same. Almost All backup sump pumps are powered by batteries, a few are powered by water. Some backups are dc power, and some are inverters that convert DC battery power to AC. If you are looking for a battery backup our site contains a ‘how to” video explaining how to install a battery backup sump pump. This is a video I wrote, it might give you some guidance. theplumbinginfo
