Pump Sentry 822 PS- Ensuring Sump Pump Efficiency during Emergencies with Sec America Review

This works great and if you use the same powerful pump instead of a backup pump from a secondary battery in a basket everything fits better and you don't have to worry about pump floats getting in each other's way. Yes, it's an expensive solution, but it's the BEST and MOST RELIABLE solution! Don't trust those pathetic battery backed standalone pumps that are taking up too much space in your trash can. They are not built to last!

This is an expensive solution for a backup battery system for my drain pump. However, given the cost and complexity of assembling a similar system from separate components, I think it's probably worth the cost. It's quick and easy to install. I was a bit surprised that it works whether the power button is on or not. But it charged the battery and passed all the tests, and now I'm sure my basement won't be flooded in two minutes if the power goes out during a heavy rain.

A few months ago I had a power outage that lasted 5 hours. I didn't have a backup system and the water rose all the way to the top but luckily the power was back. That same night I ordered this device and bought a ship's battery. Less than a month after I installed this (which was very easy) we had another big storm and the power went out for 9 hours. My pump ran fine for about 6 1/2 hours before the battery died. However, this was enough to save me from the flood. It took about 2 days to…

I moved to a new house last year (3 years). It's on a beautiful pond. When the pump failed this spring, my basement was partially flooded. I was panicking trying to figure out what I would do if I lost power because this often happens during a storm (we have these in Minnesota) and the pump shuts off very often at that time because the water table is very high . A normal generator would not turn on automatically and if I wasn't home this could be a problem. The Watchdog brand pump with all the…

My sump pump runs at least once a minute, especially in winter/spring due to the high water table. If my power goes out for even an hour, my basement starts flooding. I bought a Pump Sentry to ensure my pump keeps running during a power outage. While researching this product, I contacted SEC America with questions about the drain pump and backup battery. They did a great job with me, answering all of my questions and providing recommendations for my specific situation. I bought the recommended…

I bought this in May 2020. It was working fine, but recently there was a check engine light that said the battery needed replacing. I took the battery to the battery and lightbulb department and it turned out to be good. I didn't want to risk it, so I bought a new battery anyway. The device with each battery produces about 60 volts. Something went wrong. I'm not too surprised as this thing gets pretty hot even with the fan running at full blast when the swamp is on. I tried to write to the…

We had a big storm a few years ago and the power went out for a few days. I didn't know if my drain pump in our newly bought home had a backup power system, but I later found out it didn't by observing the dirt found on our vapor barrier. I did some research and came across a demo video for Pump Sentry that sold easily. It was an investment that could save me a lot of money if I were to experience a power outage again. Installation was very easy and straightforward. A local company is charging…
