best<\/a> for you.<\/p>\nWhere should the primary and secondary pumps be located?<\/h2>\n
The secondary pump should be placed higher than the primary sump pump. It can’t go inside your basement, either. Remember that it is only a secondary pump, which means it is not meant to handle major flooding.<\/p>\n
What maintenance do I need?<\/h2>\n
Very little maintenance is required for a battery backup sump pump. However, it is important to follow the manual and ensure that your system never gets wet during installation or use.<\/p>\n
What are some alternatives?<\/h2>\n
There is no perfect solution, but there are a few things you can do. For one thing, make sure that your primary pump is powerful enough to handle the size of your basement. You can also install a water alarm, which will sound when there are excess water levels and the primary pump is not working.<\/p>\n

This type of sump pump is more efficient, can run for weeks without power, and can be installed in less time than traditional types.
