Superior Pump 92900 12V Battery Back Up Submersible Sump Pump with Tethered Switch

Much better value than i expected, easy to install, performance is great, not very noisy at all, pump works great

So I purchased this pump setup for the low price of $170 which isn't bad considering the competition. I got the tethered float since it was much cheaper. The standing float brought the kit price up to $230! What?? So The tether float works just fine, it also gives you a little extra space to work with in the pit. My crock isn't very large so this actually ended up helping me out.The battery case is plastic with the controls built into it. The pump is a sturdy thermoplatic that really does feel quite durable. The kit comes with battery standoffs as well as a plastic check valve built to screw on to the pump. Both nice additions I wasn't originally aware of. Everything seemed to go fairly well and the pump was installed in the bottom of my crock same as my AC pump. I do this because the check valve within the crock made it so I could not mount the pump to the discharge line as the directions state. The pump still operates fine in this way. It does sit pretty flush to the ground though and is bottom draw so I made a little platform for it to sit on so it doesn't pick up all the garbage on the bottom of the crock.My only real gripe with this kit is that the check valve is pretty weak and cracked on me when installing. I was unaware it even came with it so I won't dock a star for this as maybe I had tightened it too much. I ended up using a normal 1-1/2" Zoeller valve for this pump and a quiet spring loaded valve on my AC pump.Overall this is a good setup that seems like it will continue to work and give me peace of mind that I won't flood my basement. I used the MightyMax 75Ah battery on Amazon for this setup. It fits perfect in the battery case and also was a good price at $140 at the time of this review.This is a good setup if you already have an AC pump and don't want to replace it like me.

So far so good except one thing. This was easy to install and is strong as a battery back up. Empties quite quickly. However every time it’s activated a loud piercing alarm sounds and does not turn off until you physically press the reset button for five seconds! We popped a little bit of glue silicone into the speaker and then stuck a heavy duty felt tip over it to mute the sound. Besides that this really sucks! Ha ha

Works great! Used as an addition to a 110VAC sump drainage pump in my yard. Wanted a backup in the event of a power outage during a severe storm. Pump has worked excellent

Great price, easy to install. I do recommend buying a battery tender Jr though to make sure the battery stays charged. This has a built in charger but they tend not to be the most reliable.

Bought this when my 4 year old Home Depot special took a dive and flooded my basement. Figured spend a little more and get a back up.4 stars because you need to assemble part of it. The hoses come lose easily and I had to use pvc adhesive to make sure it wouldn’t fail or spray water all over the place.

Overall I actually like this battery backup sump pump. I like the controls, the pump, and how it operates, however there are two issues that people should be aware off. First the check valve is extremely fragile. Mine broke when I was hand tightening it, I was not using any tools to tighten it! If you are going to use the valve that came with the pump, then just put it on without tightening and use a hose clamp to secure it in place. Second, the tethered switch was a challenge to setup properly. The cable is somewhat stiff, if it is too short then the switch will not turn on. At 2 inches the float was completely underwater and it did not turn on. At 4 inches it worked great, which for my installation caused other issues, I did get it to work for my system at about 3 inches. My concern is long term, if the cable hardens with age, then the switch will not work. My plan if the test the system by actually putting water into the basin once a month for 6 months, if it proves reliable then I will chance my rating to 4 stars. If you can get this system with a regular float switch then stay away from the tethered switch. The check valve was an easy fix, the tethered switch setup and operation was an effort and left me concerned about reliability.

Installed and the power went out later that week. Worked as expected and paid for itself immediately. Highly recommend.

the alarm keeps going off I have checked the battery it's ok (new) when the alarm goes off the battery pump is on I have checked everything and I have come to the conclusion it's the computer located on the top of the battery box there is a 3 year warranty on this item could you please send me another computer battery box cover.

Amazing product for piece of mind. This is in my crawlspace and I can hear the sound of a power outage in my bedroom. Very loud. Also, pump is very powerful and as long as you buy a good deep cycle battery you have an amazing safety backup for your sump pump. Make sure you put check valves on both your main pump and this backup so you do not have back feeding water. I do not trust the check valve it comes with as I have had issues with these getting airlocked in the past, so I removed the inner rubber flap to use that piece as a simple connector and installed a different check valve slightly up the tube. You also need to drill a "weep hole" between the check valve and the pump to avoid air lock. This last part is VERY IMPORTANT to prevent airlock.If this review helped you, please mark it as helpful, thank you.

All necessary hardware was included. Instructions were straight forward. Customer support was excellent.

This pump works as advertised. It works great and is easy to install

Initially had a problem with the unit control module not working. Contacted customer service and they were excellent, helped diagnose the problem and sent replacement module immediately. Module was easy to replace. Installation was a bit tricky but the design allows for lots of adjustment. Just note that in install in a standard prefab sunup pit requires mounting lower than you expect because of the float switch design.Pump is silent and strong. I have about 8ft of lift and absolutely no issues.Have had two power outages since installed and worked perfectly each time.
