The Basepump RB750-EZ is a water powered backup sump pump for homes with normal volumes of sump water. It runs on municipal water pressure, so it needs no battery, wires or charger. It works independently of the main pump and starts automatically when the water in the sump pit rises.
When water rises above the normal high water level, the float lifts and opens a valve. Municipal water then flows through the ejector, creating suction that draws sump water out of the pit and discharges it outdoors. A pre-set timing control keeps the pump running until the sump is fully drained. Float position and cycle timing are both adjustable.
The pump mounts on the ceiling, above the sump pit, so it does not work against downward water pressure and stays clear of corrosion, debris and scale in the pit. It has no motors, turbines or other mechanical parts, and the float is hydraulic with no electronic components. The housing is heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant polypropylene. The package includes a do-it-yourself installation kit, a brass backflow preventer, and a water alarm.
