basement watchdog bw4000 review - quadruple float switch protection - house battery backup
What is the first thing that usually fails on the sewage pump? Are you worried about the failure of the water pump float switch during the holidays? Did you try to change the switch during the holidays when the float got stuck and burned the pump motor, did you go home? Since you are sleeping, what is the solution for the pump manufacturer to solve this problem in many ways.
Some pumps are designed to throw away when the floating switch fails.
Others have replaceable float switches that manufacturers recommend to be replaced every two to three years.
Some have strap switches that allow the homeowner to run the pump manually until the pump is replaced.
Very unique.
There are four float switches in total.
Two for main sewage pump, basement watchdog BW1050, two for battery backup sewage pump, basement watchdog BWSP.
If it fails, the next operation will start automatically.
The homeowner does not need manual intervention.
How cool is that?
In addition, they are contained in cages that are not connected to the pump.
Therefore, the homeowner has the option to place the floating cage at the height of the discharge pipe.
The replacement of the float is quick and convenient and will not remove the sewage pump from the pit.
The cage also provides protection so that the floating body is not trapped on the wall of the pool, on the pump rope, and is not blocked by debris.
The pump system not only provides four floating fault protection, but also has other ideal functions.

Assemble as a unit.
It only needs one connection to the main discharge tube.
The controller of the standby pump issues an alarm when the battery backup BWSP is running because the main pump is not operational, the battery is low or the liquid is insufficient or the fuse or the circuit breaker is faulty.
The main pump has a permanent split capacitor motor, double seal motor protection, double ball bearings for increased life and a thermoplastic housing. It has ;
However, I chose to emphasize only these.
As for checking customer reviews online, I found the satisfaction rate of this pump to be 93%.
Consumers are also satisfied with the design of the float switch and the pump.
This does provide great protection for homeowners.
If a float fails, there are three more floats to back it up;
Two with the main submersible pump and two with the backup battery sewage pump.
The pump can be left in the pit during replacement;
Just remove and replace the float switch cage.
Truly provide peace of mind and protection for four people.
