Material required for battery back-up sump pump application
Pump installation
- Teflon tape.
- Desired length of PVC or ABS pipe and fittings, to link up emergency pump discharge
to existing discharge pipe.
Tools
- Screwdrivers, hacksaw to cut pipe, knife to assist in pipe cutting, round file to smooth pipe
ends, pipe wrench, adjustable wrench to tighten fittings, propane torch and
welding material.
Battery
Use only a new fully charged 12 Volt deep cycle marine battery. Electrolyte level must be
checked and maintenance must be done in accordance with manufacturer’s guideline.
Battery sizes that will fit into the battery box are 24C, 24VCM, 27C, 27CM, and 27F.
Battery recharge time will be different at each installation. Under normal conditions it will
take two to four days to bring a deep cycle battery back to full charge after it has been
discharged. If electrical power to the house is lost more than once a week, consider
keeping a spare, fully-charged battery to replace an exhausted battery for the standby
sump pump.
After each start, the pump will run for 5 to 30 seconds after the float return to it’s
original position.

NOTICE
Installation of this unit may take several hours. Before disabling your main pump, have
ready appropriate means of evacuating the sump.
Turn off power to main pump.
Check valve : If you install your emergency 12 V pump using the same
discharge pipe of your main 115V pump, a check valve is required
between the T or Y connection and both pumps. We supply a check
valve with this emergengy pump. Be sure your main 115V pump is
equipped with a check valve (see picture 1). These check valves are
required to prevent backflow to the sump pit.
We strongly suggest to run your discharge pipe with 1 1/2” rigid PVC piping.
The emergency pump must be installed at 450angle (see picture 2) to
prevent airlock into the pump body.
Screw the supplied adaptors and check valve to the pump discharge
using TEFLON tape (see picture 3).
Glue a 450fitting to the check valve to maintain the pump in same
position as per picture 2 and 3.
Mesure and cut a discharge pipe so that back-up pump is 4” to 8” above
the bottom of the sump pit.
Connect the discharge pipe of back-up pump to the discharge pipe of the
main pump using a Y and a 450fitting as per picture 4.
Be sure all connections are well glued.
Attach the float switch to the back-up pump discharge pipe using the
enclosed tie-wrap, as per picture 4. The standby pump’s float switch
should be installed so that it will not activate until standby pump’s inlet is
under water. Make sure power wires do not interfere with float switch or
pump inlet.
Place battery box within 3 feet of the sump and install a 115V AC
separately fused outlet within 5 feet of the control box. The electrical
outlet must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The area must be also clean, dry and well ventilated.

REPAIR PARTS
Fix the control box to the battery box.
Plug the float switch, pump and charger to the appropriate connector as
per picture 5. Test pump operation by filling the sump with water while the
main pump is unplugged. If the pump operates properly, plug the charger
into the GFCI protected outlet to keep the battery charged.
Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord and replace damaged components immediately.
