I need to buy a battery backup for my basement sump pump before monsoon season starts. We lose power pretty frequently in our neighborhood whenever there’s a thunderstorm, and since my basement relies completely on the pump to stay dry, I can’t risk it sitting dead for hours.

I see a bunch of different options online ranging from $200 cheap ones to crazy $800 systems with Wi-Fi alerts.

I don’t need anything fancy with a phone app, I just want something that will reliably kick on and pump water for at least 12 hours if the main power goes down. Do you guys recommend a specific brand like Zoeller or Wayne, or are the generic store brands just as good? Let me know what you’re running down there.

I don’t use backup sump systems so I really can’t help with any information

I only use solar energy, but if the battery is gonna serve you, then you can get it

A solid choice Zoeller and Wayne are both very reliable for backup sump systems. Focus on battery capacity (deep cycle AGM) and pump output more than Wi-Fi extras. A good setup should comfortably handle short outages and buy you enough time during storms without failure.
