Title: False sense of security
Product review: I purchased this system and had it professionally installed 18 months ago. When I just tested it because it's spring and the sump is filling fast, it was non-operational. The Aquanot battery (Zoeller's brand) ran dry and failed. It is a wet marine battery that the water evaporates from. You have to add water to this battery once a month. Who has time for this kind of maintenance, especially if you install it in a seasonal home? I took it to Sears and they said it was completely discharged. I replaced the battery with a sealed DieHard.Equipped with a new, fully charged battery, I proceeded to test the backup pump. It hums but doesn't discharge any water at all. Good-bye pump.The only parts I'm keeping on the system after one year are the battery charger and the battery case. The rest is junk.
