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.
