Back-up Pump Battery
Requirements
1. Use only a new fully charged 12
volt 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
standby sump pump.
Installation
1. Install in a sump pit per the
minimum diameter required (WSS10:
11 inch, WSS20: 12 inch, WSS30: 15
inch in diameter). Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic.
Position primary pump switch AWAY
from any inlets so that incoming
water does not contact the switch
face. See Figure 1(a) - 1(c).
2. The unit should be located and
rest on a solid, level foundation.
Do not place pump directly on clay,
earth, gravel or sandy surface. These
surfaces contain small stones, gravel,
sand, etc. that may clog or damage
the pump and cause pump failure.
Flood risk. If fl exible
discharge hose is
used, make sure pump is secured in
sump pit to prevent movement. Failure
to secure pump could allow pump
movement and switch interference and
prevent pump from starting or stopping.
3. Using PVC cement and primer,
connect 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch (only
1-1/2 inch for WSS30) rigid pipe to
the system's discharge fi tting.
Support pump
and piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
4. Place battery in box. Attach red
cable from battery box control panel
to positive battery terminal. Attach
black cable to the negative terminal.
Place cover on battery box.
