Basementsaver WP2 & Basepump HB1000 Water Powered Backup Sump Pumps

- FREE Independent Water Alarm included with every WP2 or HB1000 pump.
- 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee and 5 Year Limited Warranty on every WP2 or HB1000 pump.
WP2 / HB1000 Backup Pump Operation
When water in your basement sump rises above the normal control range provided by your primary sump pump, your backup pump automatically starts pumping until the sump water is reduced sufficiently to lower it’s float below the trigger level:
- Excess rising water in your basement sump lifts the backup pump Float
- The backup pump float activates a Hydraulic Valve on the pump unit that allows city water to run through the Ejector.
- Each gallon of city water flow through the backup pump ejector creates sufficient suction to pull 2 gallons of water from your sump up the suction tube.
- A Check Valve on the pump body prevents water from returning back down into your sump.
- The 2 gallons of sump water mix with the 1 gallon of city water as they discharge together out of the backup pump ejector into the discharge pipe and out of your basement.
