Please forgive me if it exists and I didn't find it in my searching the forum, but I am looking for backup sump pump for my new(30 yr old) home. The primary pump runs very frequently and the nextdoor neighbor informed me that they discovered an underground spring when they built their house 30 years ago....so assuming that is what causes my pump to run so much.
The previous owner had installed a 1 HP Flotec pump within the past few years, but there is no backup. I am wanting to begin finishing a portion of the basement, so I need a backup for piece of mind. I see options from basement watchdog, Glentronics Pro series, Liberty and Zoeller. Sump Pumps Direct actually indicates that the Liberty 441 is the best seller. Any recommendations? I am also assuming that I will need to replace the Flotec primary at some point, but would prefer to start with a backup instead of replacing the primary also as it seems to be pumping just fine.
