About This Product
The Basement Watchdog Emergency battery backup sump pump system can be easily installed in either a normal sized or narrow sump pit and automatically begins pumping during power outages, when the main pump fails or when water flow exceeds the capacity of the main pump. Its unique 24 hour a day monitoring system sounds an alarm when maintenance is needed, or a problem arises. A display panel indicator light will identify the cause of the alarm and the proper corrective action. The dual float switch provides double the protection and will activate the backup pump when either float is raised.

What is the minimum depth the pump needs to be set into the sump hole? The sump hole is narrow and shallow so pump needs to be set above the main pump. This will have some of the pump sticking out above the hole.
Follow up question: So it will be able to pump water as long as it sits in at least one inch of water?
Every application is different, so the minimum depth will vary for each setup. Because the sump pit in this application is narrow and the backup pump must sit above the primary pump, it’s normal for part of the backup pump to extend above the top of the pit. Just note that the backup pump needs at least 1 inch of water covering the bottom of the pump in order to remove water. It is also important to note that the most important height is the float switch, since that is the device that will activate the pump when it encounters water.

AGM Deep Cycle 75 Amp/Hr Maintenance Free Battery for Battery Backup Pumps
PumpSpy's AGM, 12-Volt 75 Ah Sealed Deep Cycle Maintenance Free battery is recommended for use with PumpSpy Sump Pump Monitoring Systems. This battery is compatible with most other battery backup sump pumps and other products requiring a 12-Volt DC deep cycle battery. Completely maintenance free, this sealed battery never requires additional water or dangerous acid. Sealed AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries avoid issues like spillage that can occur with traditional wet-cell batteries. Sealed AGM batteries do not sulfate or degrade like wet-cell batteries since they are completely sealed. AGM batteries differ from wet cell batteries in that the electrolyte is held in the glass mats, as opposed to freely flooding the plates. Very thin glass fibers are woven into a mat to increase surface area enough to hold sufficient electrolyte on the cells for their lifetime. This results in higher efficiency when both discharging and recharging, due to the higher surface area contact between these critical elements. The thermally welded enclosure eliminates leakage and the battery can be used in any orientation.
