A water-powered backup sump pump that runs through power outages as long as city water flows. It needs municipal water pressure, so homes on a well without power are not covered.

Overview
Finished basements on city water are where this Basepump backup earns its place. Household water pressure drives a venturi that pulls water out of the sump pit, so it runs during outages with no battery, and it mounts to the ceiling above the pit.
Backup that never needs a battery charged or replaced is the reason to install it. With no moving parts it runs quietly and needs little care. It uses city water to work, so flow depends on household pressure and the water bill rises while it runs.
Who it's for
Homeowners with municipal water and a primary sump pump who fear outages will gain dependable backup. Well-water homes need a battery backup instead, since the well pump stops without power.
Pros and cons
- No battery to maintain
- No moving parts
- Loud high water alarm included
- Ceiling mount clears radon covers
- Requires municipal water pressure
- Uses city water while pumping
- Plumbing codes may require a plumber
- Dedicated discharge line usually needed
Performance notes
Pumping rate rises and falls with household water pressure, so low-pressure homes see less flow. The venturi creates suction without moving parts, which is why it runs quietly and rarely wears. Undersized plumbing or restrictions cut performance, so pipe size matters at install.
