Backup Sump Pump Guide

Backup Sump Pump Selector - BP3 Battery Backup Sump Pump

Based on the information that You provided, Your optimum choice will probably be to install a Basementsaver BP3 Battery Backup Sump Pump

RECOMMENDATION 1 - With the very high basement sump pit flow rates that You report, Your optimum choice is probably a Basementsaver BP3 Battery Backup Sump Pump (removes 3,500 - 4,000 gph average).

Secondary recommended options are provided below:

RECOMMENDATION 2 - The Basementsaver BP1 Battery Backup Sump Pump (removes 1,800 gph average) and Basementsaver BP2 Battery Backup Sump Pump (removes 1,400 - 1,800 gph average) may also be options for you. The BP1 unit is designed to sit in Your sump pit, whereas the BP2 sits on the basement floor above Your sump pit, and is specifically designed for use where sump pit space is limited.

RECOMMENDATION 3 - The Basementsaver Size 3 WP3 Water Powered Sump Pump (1,500 - 2,000 gph) may be an option for You, depending upon Your city water pressure. (To determine Your city water pressure, either call Your local water department or purchase a hose-spigot water pressure meter at Your local hardware store.) Find out more about the effect of Your city water pressure on pumping performance of WP-Series and HP-Series water powered sump pumps below.

If Your city water department requires 'approved' backflow prevention, choose the WPA3 Water Powered Sump Pump With 'Approved' AVB.

The Effect Of City Water Pressure On Water Powered Sump Pump Performance

Normal City Water Pressure (40 - 95 psi):
For WP-Series Water Powered Backup Pumps and also WPA-Series Water Powered Backup Pumps, the volume of water removed from Your sump pit depends on the city water pressure that is supplied to the backup pump ejector unit. The higher your city water pressure, the higher the pumping rate that can be achieved (up to 95 psi - the recommended maximum operating pressure for WP-Series and WPA-Series pumps).

Pumping rates are presented below (in gallons per hour, gph), assuming a typical 10 ft lift to discharge (pumping rates decrease as lift to discharge increases, but the decrease is only minor up to about 15ft of lift):

Very High City Water Pressure (75 - 150 psi):
For city water pressures exceeding 95 psi we have designed the HP-Series Water Powered Backup Sump Pumps and HPA-Series Water Powered Backup Sump Pumps with 'Approved' AVB Backflow Preventer. When operating at city water pressure in the range 95 - 150 psi, the volume of water removed from your sump pit by these high pressure water powered sump pumps is essentially constant (equaling or exceeding the maximum performance of an equivalent WP-Series pump).
