Hey Everyone....
As many of you know, the East Coast experienced a hurricane over the past weekend. The power in my home went out along with the sump pump. We have a finished basement that I spent thousands on for home theater, bar, pool table etc etc. My wife, son and I hauled buckets of water from the sump pump well in the basement and dumped outside for 10 hours straight to keep water from destroying our basement. The power finally came back on 10 hrs later. Our efforts worked and we had no flood damage at all. Yea, we have flood insurance and could have said screw it. I really did not feel like messing with insurance companies and renovation etc etc.
Could someone recommend a battery back-up for sump pumps. Something portable and simple where if this happens again, I take the back-up from the closet and connect my sump pump ac chord into this battery unit and instant current to keep the sump pump going for 72+ hours.
Thanks
