Protect your investment with a battery backup system.
Winter storms in New England can bring a mix of snow, ice and rain. Protect your basement from power failures or freezing temperatures with the UltraSump Battery Backup Sump Pump System and the IceGuard System. The UltraSump battery backup sump pump protects your basement from flooding if your power or circuit breakers fail, or the primary pump fails to turn on for any reason.
Unlike a car or marine battery, the battery supplied as part of the UltraSump backup sump pump system is specially engineered to withstand long periods of remaining unused. So if you're considering an alternate system, be sure that the battery connected to your sump pump system is not simply a car or marine battery. The UltraSump also comes standard with a charging system to automatically recharge your battery once power has been reconnected to the system.
The IceGuard System allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry. Once the pipe thaws, the water will automatically run along its normal route, and no water will escape from the IceGuard.
