Battery Requirements
1. Use only a new fully charged 12 V
deep cycle battery. Electrolyte level
must be checked and maintained
in accordance with manufacturer’s
guidelines.
2. Battery sizes that will fi t into the
battery box are 24C, 24VCM, 27C,
27CM, and 27F.
3. Battery recharge time will be
different at each installation. Under
normal conditions it will take two
to four days to bring a deep cycle
battery back to full charge after it
has been discharged. If electrical
power to the house is lost more
than once a week, consider keeping
a spare, fully-charged battery to
replace an exhausted battery for the
back-up sump pump.
Installation – BSP15
Installation of this
unit may take
several hours. Before disabling your
main pump, have ready an appropriate
means of evacuating the sump.
1. Turn power to main pump off.
2. Pump must be installed using 1-1/4
in. or 1-1/2 in. rigid PVC piping. A
check valve (not included) must be
installed between the ESP’s tee and
the main pump (see Figure 1).
3. Measure and cut discharge pipe so
that back-up pump is a minimum
of 1 in. above the main pump. This
will allow main pump to operate
normally (see Figure 1).
4. Check the fit of the components
before permanently attaching. Using
PVC cement, glue tee in place. Note
the up direction arrow on the tee; the
notch must be to the top or fl apper
valve will not work (see Figure 2).
