Review: Existence of aux pump - This pump was simple to install in the pit, connect to the discharge pipe and connect the wires. The instructions were great. The instructions provided the height of the pump and instructions for accurately measuring the length of PVC to connect the pre-existing discharge pipe to the pump (measure from bottom of pit to the preexisting pipe and subtract 19 inches). This made for a quick and easy install as I had water coming into the pit during the install. I have lived in my house for just under two years and I think the old pump was about 8 years old. The old pump was discharging lots of water every 2 or 3 minutes for weeks. It just recently slowed to every hour or so. I was afraid if it failed, I would have a mess in a finished basement. I looked at alarms, but figured even if I was home when the alarm sounded, ran to home depot, bought a new pump and installed it all the same day I would have still have a mess to clean up. I thought of buying a new pump and keeping the old one as a standby. Then I saw this "dual pump", I decided how ideal this was for my situation. I was more concerned with the pump failing from age than a power outage, but bought the battery anyway. The pump is extremely quiet compared to the old one. My pit is 4 feet deep and my ceilings is 10 foot high. I am very happy with its power and "lift" performance.
Review: Worth the price - This is the second time I have purchased this same unit. The first time was 5 years ago and that one is still running as of today but has gotten corrosion on the metal external parts. This new one is setting right next to the sump hole ready to replace the first one when it gives up. 5+ years of use in a heavily wet area is well worth it to me. Easy to install, love the battery operated back up feature, highly recommend going with a maintenance free deep cycle battery, the unit can monitor the acid level in a standard battery and alert you when to add distilled water but its so much easier to use a sealed battery.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the items to buy to get a primary & backup pump, charger for battery, a rechargeable battery, redundant wifi connect & remote txt of stats?**
A: You would start with this system the CITS-50 which contains the primary and backup pump along with the charging system for the battery. The battery itself is a separate purchase and the one we recommend for this system is the Basement Watchdog AGM Maintenance Free battery (Model BW-27AGM). For the Wi-Fi portion you would want to purchase the Basement Watchdog Wi-Fi module (Model BW-Wifi) to complete the setup and give you everything you asked about. For more information, contact our service team at 800-991-0466 option 3.

**Q: What is the expected service life of this unit?**
A: Typically the primary pump can last a good 5-10+ years depending on how often it cycles. The backup system can last around 15 years since it will not see nearly as much use. Both pumps and controllers on this system are replaceable individually with this system. For more information please contact our service team at 800-991-0466 option 3.

**Q: If i have one of the connect modules, and the power goes off to my router, what notification do i receive?**
A: You would receive a message stating that the connection has been lost. This can be setup to send messages through email, text, and the Wi-fi app on your phone.

**Q: Does the system require a dedicated 20amp circuit?**
A: Although it's not a bad idea to have your sump pump system on a dedicated circuit, it is not required for this system. Combined the primary and backup pumps will not draw more than 6-7 AC amps even if both pumps are running at the same time. For more information please contact our service team at 800-991-0466 option 3.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Check your vertical dimension
*by C***T on May 10, 2024*

Installation issues were due to my particular set up. 1. This system was to replace a Wayne dual pump system that was much shorter vertically. My sump plumbing is contained within the sump and the outlet pipe runs under the concrete floor (no slack). To get this system in place, the new pumps had to sit directly on the bottom of the sump. A 90degree PVC elbow was glued onto the pumps discharge pipe and it just matched the height of the sump outlet connection. 2. To get the main pump wire through the sump cover, I had to take the float assembly off, enlarge the hole through the sump cover to 2.5 inches and feed the float assembly down through the hole and reattach to pump assembly. This was due to the large size of main pump controller and no disconnect in the wiring. The other wires were no problem getting up through the cover hole. Once all of this was done, the pumps worked perfectly. 3. Too soon to comment on reliability and service life. A test button would be nice (Wayne had one) as it is not practical to test the system by raising the floats once the assembly is down in the sump.
