Overview
A vertical float switch and a top-suction primary pump are paired with a battery-powered backup in this preassembled Wayne system. The main pump handles everyday water, and the backup takes over from a deep cycle battery if power or the main pump fails.
Getting both pumps preassembled cuts install time to minutes with no weep hole to drill.
Who it's for
Basement owners in rainy or snowmelt areas who want both pumps installed in one go. Small pits that cannot fit the assembly need a different setup.
Pros and cons
- Primary and backup in one unit
- Preassembled for quick install
- No weep hole needed
- High pumping capacity
- Backup battery sold separately
- Needs a large sump basin
- Indoor use only
Performance notes
The top-suction primary pump draws water from above the pit floor, which limits clogging from sediment. Backup run time depends on battery capacity, so a larger battery pumps more water during an outage.
