How Basepump Works:

 

Basepump Ejector is mounted on the ceiling joist above the sump, unaffected by scale, corrosion, clogging, or debris.

In a standard installation, a PVC pipe extends from the Ejector down into the sump. 

In an SDK installation, the discharge pipe from the main pump is used by Basepump for both suction and discharge pipe.

A float is mounted in the sump pit above the normal high water mark. Under normal conditions, your main, electric powered sump pump will handle all the pumping duties.

If and when water rises higher than normal for any reason, the Basepump float in the sump is lifted and hydraulically activates the Basepump Ejector on the ceiling.

As municipal water rushes through, it creates a powerful suction force which causes the PVC pipe to act like a giant soda straw, drawing water up from the sump and ejecting it outdoors.

As the water level falls, the float drops back down and a pre-set timing control allows the ejector to continue running for about 30-45 seconds before shutting off the system. This allows a full pump-down of the sump instead of constant short cycles as with other pumps.

No impellers, turbines, motors, or mechanical parts to wear out.  

No batteries, wires, or chargers to monitor, tend to, or replace. Ever!

Fully automatic operation. Works whether you're home or away, for as long as it is needed.

Basepump can supplement the primary pump when water flow is excessive.

Installs and performs independently from the primary sump pump system.

Reliable, heavy duty, and durable.

Discharge Relief Tee keeps Basepump working in most cases, even if the discharge pipe becomes frozen or clogged.

Easy, step by step, illustrated instructions are included.

Take a look at the various features of several water powered backup sump pumps currently on the market. The information on our competitor's models comes directly from their published information and we do not take responsibility for their figures. All we are doing is reporting them and giving you, the consumer, an easy-to-use comparison chart to make your decision process easier. We hope this helps. After all, it's not just about price. It's also about Quality.
