Picture this: it’s a stormy night with lightning flashing across the dark sky.

You’ve been watching the rain pour down for hours. Now, you notice that the ditches and drains near your home are filling fast. What if all that water flooding the sewage system causes a backup?

Worse yet, what if that water makes its way into your home’s basement? Do you store valuables, furniture, or mementos down there that could be ruined?

Which treasured possessions or priceless memories are you willing to lose forever if water, mildew or moisture ran rampant through the lower level of your home? Probably none, right?!

In this article, we’re talking about how to avoid that nightmare. We’ll focus on why having a battery backup sump pump, like a top-quality Zoeller sump pump, could really save the day in the occurrence of a water disaster like this one.

Let’s dive in (pun intended)!

The Basics: What Do Sump Pumps Do?

Essentially, sump pumps (like the Zoeller sump pumps we’ll talk more about in a bit) are designed to protect your home’s basement from flooding. They can also be used commercially, but we’ll focus on residential applications for the purposes of this article.

It is even more significant to have a sump pump with a battery backup if your home’s basement has been finished out or if you store important keepsakes or valuables down there. In that case, you’d stand to lose a lot of money and/or possibly things that can’t be bought with all the money.

To keep your things and your home safe from damaging moisture, water, and mold and mildew, you’ll want to have a high-quality sump pump installed. For added protection, go with one that has a reliable battery backup system, like the Aquanot® Active 508 from Zoeller pumps. Read more on this model later.

Why Does Your Home Need A Sump Pump with Battery Backup?

Even if you already have a sump pump installed, you’ll want to make sure to also have a secondary battery backup system. Why? To protect your home even when:

• The power goes out
• The primary sump pump somehow comes unplugged
• The primary pump has a mechanical failure
• A fuse blows and renders the primary pump useless
• An abundance of water overloads the primary pump

A sump pump with a secondary battery backup system can switch to battery power and kick itself on automatically as needed. This will ensure that your home and belongings are safe from flooding and water damage even if you’re not home to turn it on. These systems keep your home safe no matter what storms may come!

Obviously, it’s a worthy idea to have a quality sump pump with a battery backup option, so let’s talk about some of the very best in the business, Zoeller sump pumps like the Aquanot® Active 508.

Does a shoddy sprinkler system have you hot under the collar? Get a free T-shirt with your Berkeley, Blue Angel, Goulds, Sta-Rite or Zoeller irrigation pump purchase in July. Pump Express is presenting a summer promotion to draw attention to their varied pump inventory and sizing expertise.

“Irrigation pumps are central to any sprinkler system and with summer lawn maintenance on every property owner’s mind, we’d like to highlight some of the great models currently on the market,” says General Manager Ed Drejman. “For those who’ve put off upgrading a pump or replacing an obsolete model, this presents an opportunity to talk to one of our skilled application engineers.”

Berkeley’s HN Series Shallow Well Pumps, LT2 Series Convertible Jet pumps and LTHH Self-Priming Centrifugal Booster pumps are among the best-selling models on offer during the July promotion.

“In addition to superior quality, Berkeley offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive irrigation pump lines,” says Sales Manager Fred Hettinger. “This time of year our system engineers field a lot of requests from residential and light commercial clients in areas with water sources located less than 25 ft down. Berkeley Jet Pumps are a popular choice for these applications, with the Berkeley HN Series leading the pack for its quality construction and excellent performance.”

“The main thing is to know the location of the water source and how deep it is,” says Hettinger citing Berkeley LT2 Convertible Pumps as top sellers for deep well applications (25+ feet down) and Berkeley LTHH Series Self Priming Centrifugal Boosters as a popular choice in applications ranging from golf course irrigation to boosting domestic water pressure.

Hettinger is part of a team of skilled application engineers who can help customers determine water usage and system demands, factor the distance the water must run into the size of the line, integrate this with information on the electrical source and select a pump that’s perfectly suited to the system it’s feeding.

“A surefire way to improve the efficiency of your irrigation system is to fine-tune or upgrade your pump,” says Ed Drejman. “After that you can put on your free T-shirt and go have some fun.”

Call Pump Express for all of your Berkeley irrigation pump needs at 1-800-298-4100 or visit our website athttp://www.pumpexpress.com.

The black, 100% cotton Pump Express T-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis from July 1-31. Customers must request the t-shirts and indicate their desired size (L, XL or XXL) when placing orders.

It’s a story about how expert customer service, abundant warehouse space and effective on-line marketing converged to transform Pump Express from a little-known on-line vendor of last resort for Zoeller heavy-duty sewage pumps, to the nation’s go-to supplier of those pumps among commercial and industrial clients seeking quick delivery. Pump Express Sales Manager Fred Hettinger tells it this way.

“Pump Express began as a direct-to-the public retailer that stocked large Zoeller commercial engineered sewage pumps — a type of pump even Zoeller manufacturer reps don’t usually stock — because we were dealing with a segment of the market that traditional supply outlets don’t often deal with: contractors, facilities managers, mechanical companies and larger end users such as universities, shopping malls and small commercial buildings.”
