After extensive research, I decided to go with the 822PS as my battery backup system with a separate water level alarm and I’m glad I did. My sump pump triggers every 10 minutes so it is imperative that my pump runs uninterrupted. The 822PS is an exceptionally well built unit and works perfectly. While in standby mode, it keeps the battery changed and has indicator lights to let you know if the battery is charging, fully charged, or needs replacement. I have the 822PS on its own separate circuit breaker at my service panel. Upon testing... the 822PS took over powering my sump pump in seconds. It operates silently and features a cooling fan that works only if temperatures increase enough within the unit to call for it. It was easy to install, setup, and operate. It was also well packaged and comes with clear and concise instructions. Besides the battery backup, I further safeguarded my setup with a water level alarm that will contact me via text and or email if the water level rises above the pump (indicating a failure). The alarm also has an internal battery backup and will also contact me if a power outage is detected. In addition, the alarm senses ambient temperature and will warn me if temperatures within the home drops below 45 degrees warning against a furnace failure which could lead too frozen pipes. The alarm also features an audible sound to let anyone at home of a pending issue. I highly recommend such an additional investment. Lastly... I keep a spare pump on hand in case of mechanical failure, as well as a small drop in pump to keep the water at bay in case I have to service the main pump. I decided to go separate devices vs a complete main pump system with integrated battery backup smaller pump. Although this setup has an advantage of having the smaller pump ready to go in case the main pump failed, however... if you have to pull up the main pump for service, the small one comes up with it leaving you without a pump altogether. Personally... I prefer the arrangement I have. ... show more

  • Peace of mind!
My sump pump runs at least once a minute especially during winter/spring, due to high water table. If my power goes out, even for an hour, my basement begins to flood. I purchased the Pump Sentry so that I can have the peace of mind that my pump will continue to run during a power outage. In researching this product I contacted SEC America with my questions regarding the sump pump and backup battery. They were great in getting right back to me, answering all questions and making recommendations for my specific situation. I purchased the recommended battery, that will hopefully power the sump pump for up to 48 hours. The Pump Sentry was quick and easy to install. The unit is pretty heavy, and the battery cables that came with it are indeed heavy duty. When we tested it by shutting off the power, the Pump Sentry immediately switched to battery power within seconds, and then switched back once the power was restored. Although the unit is pricey, I am happy that it is built in USA, and the manufacturer is very helpful. The unit also was delivered quickly and well packaged. I can rest easier and have the peace of mind to know that my sump pump will continue to run during an outage, and avoid future costly and damaging flooding. ... show more

  • You Need This!
Im in the restoration business and im around water damages every day. Battery backup systems are ok but battery backup sump pumps are weak and wont last. This system however is excellent. My mothers basement gets water within 2-4 minutes of losing power and by the time i can get over there to start the generator its to late! This pump sentry pays for itself the very first time you lose power (when water levels are high). The avg cost for my company to extract water out of your basement then set up drying equipment to dry it out is $1500-$2500! This system + a battery + a battery holder + a metal shelf to put the battery on only cost me around $835! This system literally only takes 10 minutes to hook up. Your simply running your currently installed sump pump off the pump sentry system. Once the battery is connected to the pump sentry just plug the pump sentry into a wall receptacle then plug your current sump pump into the pump sentry and turn it on. UPDATE - My mother lost power from a snowstorm at 2am and the pump sentry immediately kicked on and began to work saving the day. Amazing product! ... show more

  • Provides a peace of mind. Provides a peace of mind.
A couple of years ago, we had a bad storm and the power was out for days. I didn't know if my sump pump had a backup battery system in place in our recently bought house but I learned later that we didn't by observing the dirt that been found on top of our vapor barrier. I did my research and came across the demonstration video for the Pump Sentry and was easily sold. This was an investment that could/would save me a lot of money if I faced a power outage again. Installation was very simple and straight forward. A local company charges about $1600 buy and install this which is absurd. If you can get into your crawl space, you can install this yourself. Right now during my crawl space "renovation" I have this sitting on a crate until I have the area ready for wall installation but it's working as intended. After setup, I did a test run and unplugged the power from the sump pump to the house and pulled on the sump pump lever to activate it, and it came on as intended. I reviewed comments on what kind of battery to install it with and went with the Interstate 12V 110 AH SLA/AGM Deep Cycle Battery (DCM0100) which is supposed to supply 20 hours of battery life in the event of an outage. Just having this now installed gives me such peace of mind which is priceless when owning your own home. In the grand scheme, this is a small price to pay for your house's benefit. Crawl spaces are often neglected which can be costly to your home and even health. I feel very confident in my purchase and wouldn't recommend anything less than what the Pump Sentry can offer. Don't go any other route in backups if it can't produce or exceed these same results. ... show more

  • Very reliable
Was working extremely well until the power went out about two months ago. We had a thaw and a rain storm that put the power out. It kicked in like it should have but it the battery ran out from the continuous use for 4 hours. So the basement flooded. Bought a new battery the next day which was not easy since they were running out and it kicked in running well for about another 4 hours and that was it. The basement was flooded and has to be renovated . When the power eventually came back the invertor was dead! not lights no nothing. It was 5 years old and maybe it blew a fuse . How do I change it? Or it's done. ... show more

  • Peace of Mind and Easy Installation Peace of Mind and Easy Installation
Last year I moved into a new home to me (3 years old). It is on a lovely pond. This spring when the sump pump died my basement partially flooded. I started to panic trying to figure out what I would do if I lost power because that is often during a storm (we have some of those in MN) and the pump goes off very frequently in those times because the water table is so high. A typical generator wouldn't automatically kick on and if I wasn't home that could be trouble. The Watchdog Brand pump with all the bells and whistles I installed when it flooded lasted an hour before it died so I am leery of that brand now. It took me longer to put the shelf together that it is sitting on, than it did to hook up the equipment. A deep cycle marine battery is required as a separate purchase, so the cost of the entire set up was about $800. About half the cost of my deductible. Thank you pump sentry for this product! ... show more

  • Extremely Reliable Greenhouse Backup
I use this as a backup power source for my greenhouse where I grow highland Passionflowers and other temperature sensitive plants. My greenhouse is actively cooled to the mid 70's in summer, and living in an area that routinely gets to 100F or more, a power failure equals a quick death for my rare and excessively expensive collection. After doing much research I bit the bullet and went with this despite it being considerably pricier, as I wanted the best and can't afford to lose my plants. This system has already paid for itself many times over doing just that - being a life support system when the power grid fails (which it is frustratingly doing more and more often during wildfire season). This system kicked on automatically multiple times this past summer, with no more than one second between power failure and my pumps and exhaust fan systems kicking back on. Then, as soon as power is restored, another second lapse and i'm back on grid power. Flawless. I couldn't recommend it enough, and although my use is unconventional, it has allowed regular testing and showcasing of its reliability. If I lived somewhere where a sump pump backup was necessary for flooding I would buy this again in a heartbeat. ... show more

  • Top quality. Heavy.
Metal housing. No plastic parts. Heavy. Well made. Made in USA and that is why I bought this item. Easy to install after watch some YouTube videos. Came with manual but need to watch video re how to connect to a deep cycle marine battery. Newbie. When charging battery, unit felt hot. After battery fully charged (overnight), the unit is cool to touch. Tested it a few times after installation. Runs quiet, not loud or noisy. I called manufacturer (SEC America) who confirmed new model has only two led lights instead of four led lights since different from picture on amazon. I thought I was sent wrong item. Very nice and helpful person at the company. I hope it lasts a long time because this thing isn’t cheap but for peace of mind In event of power outage sump pump will at least have alternate power source until house power returns. Just make sure your existing sump pump is in good working condition. ... show more
