It's wise to have not only a sump pump in your house but a backup pump as well to protect you from water damage that can occur due to many reasons. Many primary pump systems cannot help you if the household power goes out, but if you install the Tane Water Commander or a system such as the Zoeller Homeguard sump pump system your house is going to be protected by water powered backup pumps which mean that you don't need to fret about power failures.

There are many pump options available for backup and most are battery powered backup sump pumps. Of course battery backup powered models can be effective but if you don't notice the batteries are drained of power your situation could be rather dire. A water powered system doesn't need any power whatsoever as it works with water pressure alone.

Is a water powered sump pump or battery powered backup pump the ideal option for you?

If you are on city or municipal water, the water-powered pump is a great backup solution. If you are on a well this is not likely going to work for you as you need a constant supply of pressure for the backup pump to work which you won't get unless you are getting municipal water supply.

Is a water powered sump pump a costly solution?

While it is an investment to purchase any kind of flood protection for your home or business it's wise to look at comparing the cost of the pump to the cost of loss of your belongings. When there is a power failure which often accompanies a flood or seepage your belongings and your home are at the mercy of a sump pump that's ineffective because of lack of power. By having battery backup you are reducing your chances of problems. Batteries need replacing, though, and it stands to reason that a product that requires no power is an ideal solution as a backup.

When shopping around for a backup sump pump solution it's a very wise idea to look at the various non-electric / non battery options. Look for the best warranties as well as pricing along with comparisons of the spec sheets on what each product can do to help protect your home from flood and water damage. Learning about pumping capacity should be top on your check list. Another wise decision is to be sure your backup water powered pump will be compatible to work along with your existing primary sump pump. When researching available options look for helpful installation considerations to help you decide on the best option.

Because so many homeowners have insurance policies that do not cover floods the monetary costs of buying of a backup solution such as the Zoeller sump pump or Tane Water Commander quickly becomes negligible.
