IMHO - one of the key points is that the water level stops at the drain tile level. I suspect it's because the drain tiles are filling vs. the water table leveling off naturally. Only way to be sure is to have them wait long enough to see if the water eventually starts rising again after the tiles fill. That could take hours to determine.
Inverter strategy is a good layer of defense...I have one as well, but still prefer the Aquanot II as the primary backup mechanism. One would need an inverter rated at 1500 watts (3000 peak) to handle the surge of the primary AC pump. Xantrex makes a battery/inverter combination that can be purchased on line for $300 or so, but some models lack an automatic switchover and the battery is only rated at 60 amp hour.....not much pumping time.
