Are you ever on vacation or even at work and worried your sump pump might go out, resulting in your basement flooding? Or the power goes out during a big storm meaning your sump pump no longer runs? Check out this Zoeller 540 Flex water powered backup system we recently installed!
βThe 540 Flex is there when the rains start, and emergencies pop up. A power outage can cause sump pumps to be rendered unusable, exposing your basement to the risk of flooding. With the 540 Flex as the backup pump, youβll have the peace of mind that their home is protected. This emergency water-powered backup pump is easily used with any brand of sump pump. With no need to have a battery to stay charged during a long power outage, you are protected 24/7, even at the most inconvenient times.
This nonelectric pump backup use a 3/4-inch supply line to create enough pressure to force water through a 1-1/2-inch discharge pipe, moving water outside the home. They are battery-less backup systems that use the pressure from the municipal water supply. Doing this allows the pump to expel two gallons for every gallon used.β
Backup systems only need tested/exercised once a year to make sure theyβre still working. So whether youβre interested in having one installed or you currently have one and it needs tested give us a call! 217-544-6890
