Unique Features

  • Designed to fit where other backup sump pumps cannot, this pump sits up on the floor instead of taking up valuable space inside your sump pit.
  • Draws water from the sump pit using a suction pipe.
  • A check valve at the bottom of the pipe keeps the pump primed (i.e. full of water).
  • To reduce congestion in the pit, the vertical float switch (included) can be positioned out of the way so it does not interfere with your main sump pump.

Pump Capacity

  • Pumping Rate at 5 Feet of lift: 1800 GPH (gallons per hour)
  • Pumping Rate at 9 Feet of lift: 1400 GPH
  • Max lift: 15 feet

Average Pumping Times

Based on using 1 battery, with each pump cycle lasting 10 seconds; pumping times can be doubled by using Dual Battery Case which adds capacity for a second battery.

What is "lift?"

  • "Lift" is the height the sump water must be pumped before leaving the house.
  • A typical basement is 7 feet tall, plus 2 feet into the sump pit, for a total of 9 feet of lift. Higher lift distance makes the pump work harder, thereby reducing its pumping rate.
