Description

Are you worried that you will find your basement flooded with water after a power outage? Or have you already experienced the worst? If so, it's time to look into installing a reliable pump sump battery backup system. Pump Sentry Battery Backup 822PS is the ideal solution and is engineered to dependably handle the power for your primary sump pump during power outages. That means no more worries for you. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Pump Sentry interfaces between a pump and the AC electrical supply. The battery backup system charges the battery when electricity is available and monitors the power line to detect a power outage. When a power failure occurs, Pump Sentry draws the energy stored in the battery and converts it to AC power. This AC power is automatically channeled to the pump to maintain its operation in the absence of electricity. When AC utility power is restored, the Pump Sentry reinstates AC utility power as the prime energy source to operate the pump. Simultaneously and automatically, Pump Sentry commences the recharging of the battery to return it to total capacity in preparation for any other power failures. It is designed to operate most sump pumps up to 9 amps. Additional Info: It supports full pump capacity but does not occupy sump pit space, it can be wall or surface mounted. Installation is easy, no extra plumbing or wiring is needed to run this silent and clean system. And, the system has a 25A start current capacity, which is 3 seconds. SEC America Corp takes pride in its durable and robust products, which are assembled in the USA. Not for use with pedestal pumps. Pump Sentry by SEC America Corp is a US-made product conforming to North American safety standards: UL Standard 1778 UL Standard 1012 CSA Standard C22.2#107-3 (Canada) No need to replace your current sump pump. Works with any sump pump under 9 amps. Enables your sump pump to operate at his full rated power during loss of power from utility company.

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

    • Provides a peace of mind.
Review Image by Daphne Moore
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

    • 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

    • 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

    • Never comes out of "high charge" mode - replaced!
Review Image by cporeilly
Bought this for easy installation, which it was. But tried two different batteries, one brand new wet cell, second barely used agm fully charged pre install. Never moved beyond "high charge" and both were left for more than 24 hours. AC power light never comes on when testing. Update 12/17/2019: Went for return and replace, received replacement 3 days later, tested at home before bringing to site running a 60w lamp, battery dropped to 11.3v after 24 hours. Installed today at site, unplugged from mains, ran water till pump kicked in 5 times, barely a dip in the battery. ... show more

    • Peace of mind
I used to have the battery backup that hooked into the line with the little pump. It worked but it was slow there would have been circumstances that my house basement would have flooded if I had to depend on these small pump. I believe this inverter will bring me peace of mind knowing that my 1/3 horsepower Zoeller pump will not fail if the power goes out. If you would look the cheap ones cost $400 so why not pay 750 the real deal. It's not just an inverter it also senses when the power goes out and switches to battery power automatically and then when the power comes on it will automatically recharge your battery. I do not work for this company I'm a consumer but I recommend this product. I don't know how long it'll last but I don't know what could really go wrong with it. So far so good if it breaks quickly I will update this review. Think about it if you have a finished basement you don't want it to blood do you really want to deal with your insurance company and construction workers trying to fix your basement no thank you. ... 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

    • Works great -- awesome customer service
Five years after purchase, my 822PS Sump Pump Backup System is still going strong. I used two marine deep cycle batteries in parallel and never ran out of backup power, so my basement never flooded during power outages. As predicted by SEC America, the batteries lasted 5 years and needed replacement. I replaced with the more expensive SGM ("no maintenance") type so I wouldn't have to keep checking and filling the battery fluid. SEC America customer service has been outstanding -- they carefully answered any questions I had AND when I said was switching to SGM batteries, they offered to upgrade the firmware on my 822PS for better management of the SGM battery type. No charge for the upgrade AND they paid the shipping both ways, with fast turnaround. Can't beat that. Very highly recommended. ... show more
