Glentronics BWE Emergency Battery Backup Sump Pump System

Product Description

The GLENTRONICS BWE is an emergency battery backup sump pump system designed to protect basements from flooding when primary protection fails. It activates automatically during power outages, primary pump failures, or when incoming water volume exceeds the main pump capacity. The system pumps 2,000 GPH at 0 feet of lift and 1,000 GPH at 10 feet of lift. A 24-hour monitoring system provides continuous oversight and sounds an audible alarm when maintenance is required or a fault condition is detected. A display panel with indicator lights identifies the specific alarm cause and directs the installer or homeowner to the correct corrective action. Installed by plumbers and waterproofing contractors in residential basement applications.

The BWE is suited for installation in standard or narrow sump pits, making it adaptable to a wide range of residential basement configurations. The dual float switch design activates the backup pump when either float rises, providing redundant triggering protection. The system includes a control unit, dual float switch, battery fluid level sensor, pump with a 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe adapter, battery box, and battery charger. A battery is not included and must be purchased separately. This system is intended for residential sump pit installations where continuous flood protection is required regardless of utility power status.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced waterproofing contractor. Disconnect all electrical power to the primary sump pump circuit before beginning work. Follow local plumbing codes for discharge pipe routing and check valve requirements. The backup pump discharge line should be connected and tested independently of the primary pump line to verify proper operation before returning the system to service.
