FIG-2

  1. Metal bar connecting pumps creates an easy grab point for installation and adjustments.
  2. Dual check valves means you are always protected and never have to worry about water back flow into the basin.
  3. Adjustable discharge line design increases ease of installation
  4. Piggyback float switch design allows you to quickly diagnose the status of your system
  5. Cast Iron pump base creates a durable platform for the pumps, a longer life in the basin, and allows for the system to operate as a top-suction design to cut down on airlock and debris blockage.
  6. Color coded error message helps easily diagnose anomalies in your basement during power outages, and or heavy water events.
