The Zoeller 503 Series pump we showcase in the video is for sale in the clearance section of our website linked below: Bargain Cave: www.rcworst.com/clearance Zoeller 503-0007 for sale: www.rcworst.com/zoeller-503-0007-model-503-home-guard-max-water-powered-backup-pump-system-w/alarm.html
As shown you have this configured improperly. You are setting up your customers for $1,000+ water bill. With the alarm positioned as shown it's never going to trigger, if the primary electric pump fails the water backup is going to take over and never alert the homeowner that the switch has occurred.
It seems that as shown, the alarm is for if the water jet pump has also failed. Or, they just didn't care to set the position or talk about it. I wish he also would have mentioned about setting the main float height to be higher than the main pump, but he waved that away with "leave it where it is"
Get the alarm for these backup pumps. They use 2 gallons for every gallon removed. If your primary fails and your backup does all the work you will end up with a huge water bill.
I've had this model for 12 years. A plumber over charged me, but it works great. They ran my 2 pipes into 1, but installed 2 check valves. I just replaced the check valves because it was running constantly. Now it works great again. I even have lots of sentiment. They installed this as my primary pump.
Great explanation and nice product. I've well water with pressure tank, will this work in that situation? My need mainly more than aiding me during power outage, would like regular pump and this water based pump to work together as many times the amount of ground water surge coming in during heavy rains regular sump pump not able to pump out at faster pace than water coming in. Please explain, Thanks for your video's
I had 1 that luckily I tested and was not working anymore. water would flow into it from the city water but it would not suck water out of the pit. I am going to try installing a new replacement as a backup.
I like your cap. I live in Berkeley, CA and I can only find UC Berkeley caps. PG&E shuts down power to the SF Bay Area during the fire season so I've thought about adding a water-powered backup pump to my sewage pump, but I assume floating toilet paper and other floating items (yuck) won't be compatible with this type of pump.
Thanks for the comment Donald! As far as I know, water-powered sewage pumps have not been invented yet so your best bet would be to have a generator on hand for power outages.
Battery backup sump pumps are also an excellent option, but replacing batteries every few years can be a nuisance if the system doesn't operate regularly.

What could be wrong with it if you raise the float and it doesn't pump water out? The water line supplied to it is on.

That's good advice for sure. With that being said, I'm cool with one big water bill, as opposed to ANOTHER flooded basement.
they use 1 gallon to every two removed is what he said

Mines not coming on. I needed it today

Can you do one on the 540 FLEX?
