If your basement floods the losses may be catastrophic. Not just
the memories and other valuables that may be stored down there, but many people
lose their furnace too. If that were not enough, the time, expense, and effort
to clean up the mess just adds to the heartbreak.
Be sure your sump pump works properly before a spring rainy
season. Unplug your pump and pour several buckets of water in the sump pit
until it is full. Plug the pump in and if the pump doesn’t turn on, it’s time
to replace the pump.
Be certain that your pump is not running constantly. That wear and tear adds up as it continuously
cycles the water.
A back-up pump may be absolutely essential. The back-up pump
must be run separately. Many back-up pumps fail because they are tied into the
primary pump line. You need to guard
against that.
Our AquaTech PLUS Dual Alternator System with battery back-up
equipped with an alarm will alternate your two sump pumps so that neither of
the pumps works too hard. It will also keep your sump pumps running in case of
a power outage and alert you if one your pumps fail, so that you have ample
opportunity to change it. Do not wait
until a spring storm jolts you back to reality.
