@tonymarrama: A easy fix and piece of mind to avoid future basement floods and sump pumps not running due to power outages #storms #rain #flooding #floodingstateofemergency #flooding2026

rockstar 65 :

not good . water back up pumps are much better trust me

Winter :

Why not simply get a Watch Dog battery backup?

123stu12345 :

back flow valve would have stopped 95% of the floods

anthony :

can you imagine that battery catching fire in your basement

appleuser36659280 :

Great if power outage and or sump pump fails,.. but what happens if working sump pump cannot expel water quicker than water coming into sump basin. This is the problem many home owners experienced during recent severe rain storms in Niagara

True North Muskoka🇨🇦 :

A better solution is to install a backup sump pump that operates on your house water pressure. It needs no power to run.

Marlo Thompson585 :

How long goes it last with no electricity

Greg :

Nice backup system, especially if the power goes out the sump pump is still working.

Tik toker :

Did you connect weeping tile to sumppump

Mike Gauthier :

Adding a secondary pump would be even more efficient. If your main pump fails (no power or mechanical failure) you’re backed up by your secondary.

Captain Canada :

I’d get more than one battery. You may get 5 to 8 hours of continuous run time on one battery if it’s a bad flood.

Cloudy Sky :

Or just buy a house without basement😁

Johnycuda :

hell with Amazon shop local

J :

My concrete and drain guy always sets up a second overflow basin beside the first basin. The second basin has its own pump. This way the homeowner is also protected from mechanical failure if the first pump in the first basin fails. Your set up is great but you are not protected from pump mechanical failure.

billybob :

My sump hasn't worked in 35 years and I've never had any issues, can anyone explain that ?

Peter :

When the 4” big O comes in faster than the 2 inch going out it looses because the road fills up onto halfway up my lawn the city blames home owners when the city has restrictors which they never lift out or clean up the hole basin.

Warrior :

With respect to the lithium battery , what are the chances that battery causing a major fire …..

Sunstreaker :

we got it teice but it wasn't coming in from the foundation, windows or walls, it was coming in from the floor drain, toliet and shower drain both times!

wally :

have a second backup like this.

twelve234 :

you need a 2nd backup pump in that pit incase the first pump fails

Kristopher :

How do you charge the battery

M. D :

your just recirculating the water 💧 because the drain system was backed up
