Why install a Water Powered Sump Pump?The water powered sump pump keeps running. It has no moving parts and does not require electricity or a battery.
Unlike battery backup sump pumps, water powered pumps will run as often and long as there is city water. Batteries for battery backup sump pumps become depleted long before.
The water powered pumps are very popular in areas where there is no electricity for days and even weeks. The pumps just keep running, unless a major catastrophe occurs and there is no city water, as the pit fills with water. They keep the basement dry.

Differences Between Water Powered PumpsThere are four basic differences between these four pumps.
LocationThe location of the water pump is not the same for the Top 4 pumps. The Liberty SJ10 and Zoeller 503-0005 are located in but above the primary pump; the Basepumps are attached to the basement ceiling beam which means they do not have to fight the downward force of the water the Liberty and Zoeller pump do.
Visible float in the pitThe float is visible in the pit for the Liberty and Zoeller pumps.
PriceThe price for the Liberty and Zoeller is about the same $130-$180. The Basepumps cost more. The price ranges from $290 to around $460.
WarrantyThe warranty for the basepumps is longest – five years. Liberty offers three years and Zoeller one year. Warranty may or may not be significant because each of the manufacturers expects their pumps to last longer than the warranty period. Zoeller manually tests each pump in the factory to ensure it will work if installed properly.
