Overview
A copper-wound motor drives this sump pump, and the system adds a battery backup so water continues moving during a power outage. WiFi connection needs the separate add-on module.
A backup system and optional connectivity suit a basement where flooding is a concern. The flow rate reads gallons per hour in the title and gallons per minute in the specs, so the unit needs confirming.
Who it's for
A homeowner protecting a basement from flooding, who wants backup power and the option to monitor remotely, will find the system matched. Buyers who need WiFi included, or confirmed flow data, should check the maker.
Pros and cons
- Battery backup included
- WiFi capable with add-on
- Ten foot lift
- Two year warranty
- WiFi needs the add-on module
- Flow unit stated two ways
- Battery type not stated
Performance notes
A sump pump lifts water out of a pit, and the flow rate falls as the lift height rises, so the listed flow applies to a particular lift. A backup battery supplies the pump when mains power fails, and the copper-wound motor is the part that does the pumping.
