Our take on the A.Y. McDonald DuraMAC 12V Battery Backup Sump Pump System - Alarm Control, Vertical Switch - 5000PVSPBU

The DuraMAC 5000PVSPBU is a 12V DC battery backup sump pump that takes over when the power fails or the primary pump stops. It moves about 18 GPM at 10 ft of lift and up to 23 GPM at zero head, with a vertical float switch and an alarm and control unit that sounds when the backup runs or the battery needs attention. It ships with the pump, switch, 10 ft cord, control unit and a battery box, but the 12V deep-cycle marine battery is sold separately. It suits homeowners who want flood protection during outages; compared with AC-only backups it runs off a battery, but it is a backup, not a replacement for a primary pump.

About the A.Y. McDonald DuraMAC 12V Battery Backup Sump Pump System - Alarm Control, Vertical Switch - 5000PVSPBU

The DuraMAC 5000PVSPBU is a 12V DC battery backup sump pump system. It keeps the pit draining during a power failure or a malfunction of the primary electric sump pump. It runs on a 12 volt deep-cycle marine battery, which is not included.

The pump is made of thermoplastic and has a vertical float switch and a 10 ft cord. The alarm and control unit has a fuse and a mute feature. The discharge is 1-1/4 in, or 1-1/2 in with the check valve.

A 12V pump moves less than a 120V pump. It delivers 18 GPM at 10 ft of lift and up to 23 GPM at its maximum. It is meant as a backup that shares the pit with a primary 120V sump pump. Where pit inflow is higher than the pump's output, a water-powered backup is the stronger choice.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery?
No. It ships with the pump, vertical switch, 10 ft cord, alarm and control unit, and a battery box. You need a 12V deep-cycle marine battery, ordered separately.
How much water can it move?
About 18 GPM at 10 ft of lift and up to 23 GPM at zero head. That is enough to keep a pit draining during an outage, but less than a typical primary AC pump.
What discharge pipe size does it take?
It accepts 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 in discharge piping.
Will it replace my main sump pump?
No. It is a backup that runs on a 12V battery during a power failure or primary pump fault. Keep your primary pump as the main unit.
What does the alarm do?
The control unit has an alarm with a fuse and mute. It alerts you when the backup is running or the battery needs attention.
How is the float switch set up?
It uses a vertical float switch that turns the pump on as the water rises in the pit.
