General Information
The Model 441-10A battery back-up sump pump system is not
a substitute for a primary sump pump. It is designed to
temporarily provide backup to a primary sump pump during a
power outage or other problem that prevents normal operation of
the primary pump.
Install this system during a time when the primary pump will not
be needed. If this is not possible and water will enter the sump pit
during the installation process, an additional pump may be
required to keep the pit dry.
The Model 441-10A back-up pump will activate when the sump
water triggers the back-up pump’s float switch. The system will
continue to operate automatically until the issue with the primary
pump is corrected, and for as long as the charge in the battery
installed with the system lasts.

System Components
Battery Back-up Pump
The Model 441-10A back-up pump system flow rates are directly
tied to the voltage the battery supplies to the pump while it is
running. The flow rates shown in Table 1 were generated by
supplying the 441 pump with 12.1V at the battery terminals. When
the battery supplies the pump with more than 12.1V, the pump’s
flow rate will be greater than those shown; likewise, flow rates will
be less when the voltage is less than 12.1V.
Charger
The charger is designed to continuously charge, maintain peak
charge, and monitor battery health. With AC power applied, the
charger can be left unattended and will not overcharge or damage
the battery. It will also monitor and notify the user via an alarm
and horn if the battery is no longer suitable for use.
The time the charger takes to recharge a battery depends on the
battery’s reserve capacity and its current state of discharge. The
charger takes no longer than 19 hours to charge a healthy battery
to a maintenance charging point. For more detailed information,
refer to Charger Operation on page 10.

Battery
The total time the battery back-up can operate in standby while
the AC power is off greatly depends on the battery installed with
the system. Liberty Pumps recommends using a Liberty Pumps
StormCell® Group 27 or Group 31 Deep Cycle AGM or Wet Cell
lead acid battery with the 441 system. StormCell batteries have
been specifically designed to maximize reserve capacity time (the
time the battery can operate continuously before it needs to be
recharged). Additionally, StormCell batteries have been modified
to provide the highest resistance to battery plate degradation due
to repeated charging and continuous maintenance charging. With
a charged Group 27 or Group 31 deep cycle battery, this back-up
system can expect to operate for 4.25 hours continuously or up to
6 days cycling on 4 times an hour, moving 10 gallons of water at
10 feet of vertical head.
Note: In an emergency when the system’s deep cycle battery has
been depleted, any 12V automobile battery, or other lead acid
battery, may be used to keep the back-up pump operational. Be
sure to replace the deep cycle battery back into the system as
soon as possible. Automobile batteries have much lower reserve
capacities and require frequent, repeated charging that will result
in early battery failure.
Assembly Methods
There are three ways to assemble and install the battery back-up
pump, depending on sump pit diameter/depth and desire for a
truly redundant back-up system. Select appropriate method by
referring to Figure 1. Any method is acceptable, but Method A is
recommended. Examples are shown in Figure 2 as a visual aid.
Acheck valve is required in the primary sump pump
discharge pipe to prevent water from recirculating back
into the pit.
Always install the back-up sump pump as close to the bottom
of the sump pit as possible.
All assembly methods require the back-up pump float switch
to have free movement.

Preparation
Do not lift or carry a pump or a float assembly by its power
cord. This will damage the power cord, and could expose the
electrically live wires inside the power cord.
Do not use metal or any other electrical conducting material
to raise the float or contact anything inside an electrically live
sump pit.
Do not turn the pumps ON until all the fittings are connected
with PVC cement and the cement has dried. Loose fittings can
unexpectedly disconnect from pipes and cause personal
injury and flooding.
To avoid an injury from a collapse of plumbing, support the
pipe above the separation before cutting or disassembly. See
Figure 3.
Be prepared for water to leak from the coupling or piping
when disassembling or cutting the discharge pipe. Protect
system components, tools, and supplies from getting wet. Dry
any work areas that get wet immediately.
Figure 3. Mark and Cut Pipe
1. Locate the TURN ON water level of the primary sump pump.
Mark this location on the discharge pipe. See Figure 3.
2. Drain the sump pit. The water level must be pumped down as
low as possible before going on to the next step.
To drain the sump pit:
a. Raise the float on the float switch until the pump turns on.
Use a wooden broom handle or non-metal stick to do this.
OR
b. If the sump pump has a piggyback-type power cord,
remove the float switch/power cord plug from the outlet
and plug the pump power cord plug directly into the
outlet.
3. Confirm sump pit has been drained but do not let the pump
run dry as this will damage the pump.
Note: A second pump may be required to keep the well dry
during installation of the back-up pump.
4. Unplug the primary pump and any other electrical equipment
in the sump (i.e., separate alarm).
5. Method A: The primary pump will stay in the pit with the
discharge pipe intact unless a check valve needs to be
installed.
If check valve is already in place, continue to Assembly
Method A.
To install a check valve, continue to Primary Pump Check
Valve Installation.
6. Method B & C: Continue to Primary Pump Check Valve
Installation.

Primary Pump Check Valve Installation
Always disconnect pump(s) from power source(s) before
handling or making any adjustments to either the pump(s),
the pump system, or the control panel.
Do not lift or carry a pump or a float assembly by its power
cord. This will damage the power cord, and could expose the
electrically live wires inside the power cord.
Acheck valve is required in the primary sump pump
discharge pipe to prevent water from recirculating back
into the pit.
A primary sump pump check valve is required in the back-up
sump pump system. A check valve and rubber coupler are
provided for convenience. Verify the presence of a check valve in
the primary sump pump. If no check valve is in place, one will
need to be installed. Complete the following steps.
1. The primary sump pump needs to be separated from the
discharge pipe and removed from pit. Refer to Figure 3.
To separate the primary pump from the discharge pipe:
a. For applications with rubber couplings, remove the
coupling clamp with a nut driver.
b. For applications without rubber couplings, cut the PVC
discharge pipe above the basement floor, at a comfortable
level. A new rubber coupling is supplied for reassembly.
Note: The discharge pipe will be filled with water. Drain the
water from the discharge pipe assembly. Keep the work
area dry.
2. Use handle to lift the primary pump and discharge pipe
assembly out of the sump.
3. Connect check valve between primary pump discharge and
discharge pipe.
4. With primary pump disconnected from the discharge pipe,
install the supplied check valve into the primary pump
discharge. Thread seal tape is handy but not necessary. Make
sure the check valve is installed in the correct direction with
the arrow pointing up.
5. Install the supplied coupler. The coupler to be installed with
the removable insert UP to allow for easy removal of the
primary pump in the future.
6. Continue to Back-up Pump Assembly.
Back-up Pump Assembly
Use PVC cement in a well-ventilated area away from fire or
flames. Follow the PVC cement and primer manufacturer’s
instructions.
Float Height Adjustment
1. The float in its off position should be mounted in the sump
such that it is a minimum of 1/2” above the water level at
which the primary pump turns on (as noted in Figure 3).
The float can be mounted on any of the vertical pipes in the
pit (primary discharge, backup discharge, or other plumbing)
provided the float height differential can be maintained and
the float is allowed space to travel unobstructed along the
float rod.
2. Lightly secure (for now) the float and bracket with the
supplied band clamp. Do not fully tighten the clamp at this
time as adjustments may be needed later.
Assembly Method A
Liberty Pumps recommends Method A for the most fail-safe
back-up pump system. The back-up pump is plumbed with a
separate discharge line. The minimum required sump basin
diameter is 18” at the bottom of the pit, and the minimum
recommended depth of the sump basin is 18”.
Figure 4. Installation Method A
1. Ensure primary pump check valve is installed per Primary
Pump Check Valve Installation.
If primary pump does not have a check valve, return to
Primary Pump Check Valve Installation to install one now.
Make sure the check valve is installed in the correct direction.
2. Connect the elbow onto the discharge of the back-up pump.
Tighten the clamp to hold secure.
3. Connect a length of pipe into the top of the elbow of the
back-up pump discharge.
4. Refer to Float Height Adjustment to mount the back-up
pump float switch assembly.
5. Continue to Final Assembly (Method A) on page 9.

6. Clean the pipe ends with a cloth towel and set the cut-off
piece of discharge pipe aside.
7. Slip the tee and the back-up pump assembly onto the short
pipe exiting the primary pump.
8. If primary pump does not have a check valve, return to
Preparation to install one now in the primary sump pump
discharge pipe between the tee and the pump. Make sure the
check valve is installed in the correct direction.
9. Position (will be cemented later) the assembly onto the
primary discharge pipe.
10. Refer to Float Height Adjustment on page 7 to mount the
back-up pump float switch assembly.
11. Continue to Cut the Discharge Pipe (Methods B & C).
Cut the Discharge Pipe (Methods B & C)
Be prepared for water to leak from the coupling or piping
when disassembling or cutting the discharge pipe. Protect
system components, tools, and supplies from getting wet. Dry
any work areas that get wet immediately.
1. Put the newly assembled dual pump back-up system into the
sump pit.
The discharge pipe now overlaps the discharge pipe that leads
outside.
2. Mark the discharge pipe where it should be cut.
Be sure to leave a 1/4” air gap between the ends of the pipes.
This gap will absorb the noise from vibration and allow for
flexibility.
3. Make the third cut as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Remove Excess Discharge Pipe
Trial Assembly (Methods B & C)
1. Connect the pump discharge pipe to the exterior discharge
pipe with a rubber coupling and clamps.
Do not tighten the clamps until all the final adjustments are
complete.
2. Make the final adjustments. Make sure the pumps and the
switches do not interfere with each other. Make sure there is
plenty of room for the float switches (primary and back-up) to
either swing or to move up and down from their “off” to their
“on” positions.
Preliminary Assembly (Methods B & C)
1. Mark the pipe and fittings at all connections with a pencil.
These marks will be used as a reassembly guide when joining
with primer and cement to be sure everything is still in the
right place and nothing has moved.
2. Loosen the rubber coupling and clamp connection.
3. Carefully pull the dual pump back-up system out of the pit.
4. Take the tee assembly off the primary discharge pipe.
Do not unscrew any of the thread seal taped fittings.
5. Prepare all unconnected PVC pipe ends with primer.
6. Apply cement to these PVC fittings where indicated by the
marks.
Final Assembly (Method A)
1. Position the back-up pump into the pit.
2. Complete the back-up pump separate discharge line.
3. Double check back-up pump float height and adjust as
necessary. Refer to Float Height Adjustment on page 7.
4. Tighten the float mounting clamp and secure all wires directly
up and out of pit.
Final Assembly (Methods B & C)
1. Position the dual pump back-up system back into the pit.
2. Install and tighten the rubber coupling and clamps.
3. Double check back-up pump float height and adjust as
necessary. Refer to Float Height Adjustment on page 7.
4. Tighten the float mounting clamp, and secure all wires
directly up and out of pit.
Final Assembly Check (Methods A, B & C)
Perform a final assembly check with water to make certain that the
float sequence is correct, the float height is correct, and that there
are no unforeseen obstructions.

Charger Operation
This section contains important safety and operating instructions
for the 12V battery charger. Keep it with or near charger at all
times. Read this section and follow the instructions carefully
before using the charger.
Charger Location
•Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables
permit, at least 2 feet above floor level.
•Never place charger directly above battery being charged
as gases from battery will corrode and damage charger, or
over any combustible surfaces.
•Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
gravity or filling battery.
•Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
DC Connection Precautions
•Connect and disconnect DC output terminals only after
removing charger from AC outlet.
Once power is applied, the charger will automatically begin
charging the system. When the battery is charged to “full” state,
the charger automatically switches to monitor the battery voltage
and continue with periodic charging for peak battery
performance. The charger monitors charge times in charging and
maintenance modes to prevent overcharging the battery.
The charger has reverse battery and short circuit protection. If a
reverse battery condition exists, unplug charger from AC power
and reverse the battery connections.
The unit will automatically detect the condition of the battery’s
internal cells as well as battery sulfated conditions.
The charger is designed to charge 12V lead acid batteries.
•Never charge lithium ion batteries on this charger.
•The charge time is dependent on the Ah rating of the
individual battery. Refer to chart.
Approximate charge time using a constant current charger at
standard amps as specified on the battery. Charging times may
vary depending on the Ah rating of the battery.
