Basement Watchdog BWE 1000 Gallons Per Hour Basement Watchdog Emergency Back-Up Sump Pump

UPDATE *after installation i realised i didnt drill the little hole in the pipe so the pump was airlocked. After i drilled it the pump worked as intended!!The kit seems great so far. I dont have the battery yet and WILL update this when its all hooked up and tested but heres a few pointers!You will have to be a bit crafty to install this and will also have to buy a couple extra things.I HAD TO go buy:abs pipe 1 1/2”, 90° and 45°Elbows and a coupler (to link my new backup pump to my main pump output)Some abs gluea pipe cutterA L shape braket (rona had it!)2 clampsA bolt,washer and a nut (setup specific noted in the instructions)ANDA agm marine battery (300$ and up).So keep in mind that this kit isnt the end of your expenses but is necessary for peace of mind.If you need help to set it up feel free to send a message if possible.

I've had this system for a year now and it is still going strong and has already alerted us when our main pump went out. The alarm is loud and high pitched and even wakes us up on the floor above. Instructions were great. I'm using an Optima battery with it and it's cooperating fine. Pay attention to your water table height (how fast your pit fills after pumping). Mine was refilling very quickly so I raised both pumps maybe 10 inches and there's a huge difference in pumping frequency. My check valves were also leaking back into it so test for that. Zoeller check valves are the way to go!

Got a chance to put this system to the test recently. Installed it months ago, but had 2 bad storms here recently, sure enough lost power both times. Have a weiz 100 ah battery installed up to my system.With both storm we got tons of rain. First storm we lost power 7 hours, no issues. The second time we lost power for almost 13 hours, zero issues. During both outages the pump was pumping every 2 mins, the 100 ah battery and watchdog did their job.

This seems to be a quality product.The instructions were clear and the setup was straightforward.The pump does a good job at pumping, as good as the normal 120v pump.I bought a separate marine battery from Canadian Tire here in Canada, which of course was set to go, with fluids and charging. The battery level sensor then does not work, but it is no effort to occasionally check the water level.The 'Watchdog' control panel mounts nicely on the discharge pipe, and as well as the indicator lights there is a pump test button.Overall I am impressed!

Excellent product. I ordered it and installed it last week. This week we got a very heavy storm rain + no power. This pumps performed very well. Almost all houses around got flooded.Thanks God that I installed this pump before the storm!
