Solution to your battery powered back up sump pump

Have you ever had your sump pump fail in the middle of a down pour? Do you currently rely on a battery powered sump pump?  We wanted you to know about a product that we are providing as a solution to the standard battery back up sump pump.  The water commander runs solely off of water pressure, it does not require a battery, or any electricity, so you never have to worry about changing batteries or loosing power.  The Water Commander will run for an unlimited amount of time, with no required maintenance.

The standard battery powered back up will only run for 7 to 8 hours; as the battery ages that will reduce to one or two hours.  The Water Commander is the most reliable backup sump pump you can buy.  It can pump up to 2700 Gallons Per Hour (depending on model and city water pressure) and will activate immediately, even if you are not home during a rain storm or power outage.  It is not only considered a back up to your sump pump, but will run in tandem with your current sump pump.  It can easily match or out pump your current configuration.


Be prepared in the event that your current sump pump fails during a heavy rain storm or power outage! Avoid costly repairs caused by water damage to your basement!

Maintaining your Sump Pump!

Sump tanks and sump pumps must be maintained. Typical recommendations suggest examining equipment every year. Pumps running frequently due to higher water table, water drainage, or weather conditions should be examined more frequently. Sump pumps, being highly mechanical, will fail eventually, which could lead to a flooded basement requiring costly repairs.
When examining a sump pump and cleaning it, dirt, gravel, sand, and other debris should be removed to increase efficiency and extend the life of the pump. These obstructions can also decrease the pump's ability to drain the sump, and can allow the sump to overflow. The check valve can also jam from the debris.
