Review on πŸ”‹ The Basement Watchdog Model 24EP6: Unbeatable Emergency Sump Pump Battery by Sfl Richardson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Battery is fine but system is questionable

My reviews reflect system performance, not just battery. I ended up replacing the Battery Watchdog (BWD) backup drain pump system that was in my house when I bought it with a homemade 12VDC inverter battery with a conventional 1/3 HP 120VAC drain pump. . Turns out the original BWD system (claimed 1/3 HP) couldn't pump 3.5 GPM at 10.9 feet of lift. The new system pumps 28 gpm with the same stroke. The declared capabilities of the BWD system are greatly overestimated. SO,. The battery is fine, but the BWD system doesn't work on inclines of about 10 feet.

Pros
  • Build Quality
Cons
