Model RH1400
Battery Backup Sump Pump

Specifically designed for use in narrow sumps

This battery backup sump pump goes where other pumps cannot go. The pump sits on the floor instead of taking up space in the sump and uses a suction pipe to draw the water up from the sump. The included vertical float switch can be mounted out of the way so its operation won't interfere with your primary sump pump operation. This minimizes crowding and congestion in the sump.

TWO YEAR Limited Warranty!

HYDROPUMP RH1400 is specifically designed for use in smaller, more confined sumps where placing the pump down in the sump is just about impossible. The RH1400 sits on the floor and uses a suction pipe that goes nearly to the bottom of the sump. This assures an effective removal of water from the sump and the drain tiles to the extent that the float controls it. The pump is kept primed (full of water) by a check valve at the bottom of the suction pipe and the water flow from the primary sump pump that operates every day.

Here are some examples of the RH1400 in standard-size as well as narrow sumps.
