Keep Pumping When the Power Goes Out
A primary sump pump is only as reliable as the power source behind it. Battery backup systems provide critical continuity during outage windows when water risk is often highest.
Why Backup Capacity Matters in Boise
- Storm-outage overlap: Pump demand often peaks when power reliability drops.
- Irrigation-season groundwater: Even short outages can create significant water accumulation.
- Finished-basement exposure: Flood events carry high cleanup and restoration cost.
Backup System Components
- Secondary pump or integrated backup unit sized for expected inflow profile.
- Battery bank selected for realistic runtime targets.
- Charging/control module with diagnostics and alarm signaling.
- Discharge configuration that supports both primary and backup flow paths.
Design Considerations
- Runtime planning: Match battery capacity to expected outage duration and pump cycling.
- Maintenance protocol: Periodic battery checks and functional testing are mandatory.
- System compatibility: Integrate with existing primary pump systems and drainage collection.
