Sump Pump Battery Back Up System



BATTERY BACK UP SUMP PUMP SYSTEM
Reliance Plumbing installs the PHCC Glentronics Battery Back Up system that works well and a better choice for your wallet. There are three different types of units which include the 1000, 1730, and 2400 system  The model # stands for how many gallons per hour the backup pump can discharge water. The 1000 is the most basic unit and I like it because it is compatible with the maintenance free battery witch is nice because you never have to add distilled water to the battery. The 1730 is a good unit and pumps more water per hour but the only downfall of this system is that it is not compatible with the maintenance free battery and needs to uses the acid battery that has to be maintained every couple moths. The 2400 is also a great system and you can use the maintenance free battery and is usually a system that many customers like because of the price and the features.
INSTALLATION TIPS FOR BATTERY BACK UP SYSTEM
When installing the back up system you should always install a separate discharge line from your primary sump pump. There are many benefits for installing separate discharge pipe for example if one freezes you have a back up discharge pipe. Also instead of sharing 1-1/2 pipe between the primary pump and back up pump, with two 1-1/2 lines ejecting more water when sudden flash floods demand more volume of flow from your pumps.
