I installed this backup sump pump and I would have to say it definitely the way to go if you want to minimize the risk of your basement flooding due to your main sump pump going bad.
I’ve put in a couple of those. Peace of mind if power goes out. I’ve plumbed the output separately outside to the yard in case there is a clog in the main sump drain.
Maybe we have different manuals but in the safety precautions notices #6 and installation section 4th bullet addresses this. Maybe our manuals are different revisions just trying to be helpful 😊
@@JimSperanza in the installation manual it says to run a separate line.. That being said did yours work fine? Im not running a second 55' long 4' deep drain run and i'd use it like u
I'm considering buying one but I am concerned about the quality. Can these pumps handle the psi ? Just think about it, your primary pump goes out and the Liberty backup pump comes to the rescue, then suddenly it implodes and now you have 80 psi of water flooding in. Its a pro and con seldom discussed. City water is not exactly regulated, its been known to hit 140 at times. So now for piece of mind I would need the pump and a pressure regulator valve.
