The Battery Backup (BBU) sump system is not a
sub stitute for your primary sump pump. It is designed to
temporarily back up your primary sump pump during a
power outage or other problem which prevents normal
operation of the primary pump. Do not use this system to
pump flammable liquids or chemicals. Pump clear water
only with this pump.
Keep the battery charger dry and protected from damage.
This system is designed to work with a deep cycle
marine battery, either a flooded lead-acid battery or
a sealed, maintenance-free, lead-acid AGM battery.
In an emergency (such as an extended power outage)
which depletes the system deep-cycle battery, your
automobile battery may be temporarily substituted. Be
sure to replace the system deep cycle battery as soon
as possible. Use of an automobile battery instead of a
deep-cycle battery in this system will significantly reduce
the system's total performance. Automobile batteries
are not designed for this type of application and will be
quickly ruined by the repeated charge/discharge cycling.
NOTICE This system is not designed for applications
involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine
will void warranty.
