Hey, Michael Church here with crawlspaceninja.com.
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever found yourself
in need of a battery backup for an existing sump pump?
You know, normally when people install battery backups in a sump pump,
they do it during the install process.
Well, what if you made a mistake and you decided to go with
a non-battery backup, and then you figure out,
oh no, I really should've went with a battery backup system?
Well, traditionally, you would actually have to pull out the old sump pump
and replace it with a dual-pump system, which can be a major pain
and a major expense.
But what I want to do is introduce you to the Pump Sentry 822PS
by SEC, made right here in America.
This is a great product that you can hook up to your existing
sump pump, whether it's in the basement or the crawlspace.
Makes things really easy, you're in and out in 15 to 20 minutes,
versus having to replumb, rewire, and all the other things
that a battery backup dual-pump system requires.
Okay, so let's take a look at what's inside the Pump Sentry 822PS.
When you get this shipped to your door via USPS, UPS, FedEx, whatever,
it comes in this box. And you open the box up, first thing you're going to
notice is you have these battery cables.
What happens is the sump pump is going to hook up via a marine battery, okay?
So the marine battery hooks up to these cables, then runs into the Sentry here,
and I'll show you in just a second, all right?
So, let's go ahead and get it all out, so that way, it's easier to explain.
Okay, so this is the unit, right here. And you typically want to mount
this above the pump, okay? So the battery cables will go from the positive
and the negative of the battery into here, and hook up.
Then, you will plug in this to your 110 outlet, okay?
And your sump pump will plug in here. Now, this is our Flotec,
half-horse, Pro Series, cast iron, five-year warranty sump pump.
Great, great product. This plugs directly in here, this plugs into the outlet,
and then, the marine battery plugs in here.
What I have here is a case for the battery, so if you're wondering
what this is behind it, this just protects the battery.
The beauty of this is that when you lose power and the marine battery is kicked in,
it utilizes through here automatically.
It's a quick switch system, so you don't lose any power.
Most of the sump pumps that are out there today, the dual-pump systems,
it has a weaker pump, okay? And that weaker pump...you know,
when are you going to lose power?
You're going to lose power during a thunderstorm.
So that weaker pump now has to probably pump more water,
so it's best to use the same pump.
My half-horse pump is going to move a lot more water than a third-horse
or a quarter-horse backup pump, okay? So we're going to keep the same pump.
You're just going to unplug your current pump from the outlet,
put it in here, and then run your positive and negative to the marine battery.
Make sure it's mounted up on the wall. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you,
whenever the power's on, this guy is charging your marine battery,
so you don't have to do anything.
I would recommend you get a maintenance-free marine battery
in order to handle all this, and these can be bought
at your...I got this one at Pep Boys.
I don't know if you have a Pep Boys near you, but if you do, it was about $125.
This system is about $640, okay? And this was $10, all right?
So that's what you got, versus a dual-pump system, paying somebody to come out,
change it out, all that kind of stuff.
If you find yourself in Knoxville within 45 minutes of our office,
we can do all this for you. But if you're out there in the world
and you want to do this yourself, this is a great way to add a battery
backup to your existing sump pump.
So, I hope this was some good information.
