    Water powered backup sump pumps. Anyone here installed/use one?

    by Rebelif » Mon May 16, 2022 9:54 am

    So our sump has failed two times in the year and a half we've been in this house. The first was a failed pump and the second time was the other night when the power went out for close to 4 hours.
    I'm looking at installing a water driven backup pump and was wondering if anyone here has done it before? If so how did the install go was it pretty straight forward? I have basic plumbing knowledge so could I diy it or is it to complicated and just call a pro from the get go?

    I'm looking at these two models if anyone has used them before what was your experience been with them? Do they work as advertised? Any other tips or advise would be appreciated.

    If you have that many problems, you should change it for sure. However, I don't think the best option you can choose is to DIY it, you can miss a single detail, and the whole project is ruined, which will make you lose a lot of time and money. I've always been informing myself from https://www.sumppumpadvisor.com, and I can truly recommend you these guys. They have a lot of free information that will be useful for you and also, they have a lot of models described at different price ranges. In this way, you can get the best option for you under your budget.
