AC PUMPS

Industrial Grade Pumps for the 
Residential Market

The Basement Watchdog line of AC sump pumps
are strong, dependable and so energy efficient,
they  could  pay  for  themselves  in  a  few  years.
The sump pumps are equipped with dual float
switches for added reliability.  When your main
AC  pump  needs  replacement,  consider
upgrading  to  one  of  the  pumps  in  the
Basement Watchdog line.

FLOAT SWITCHES

What’s the most common reason your 
main AC pump fails?

It’s probably the result of a float switch that is
stuck  or  broken.    Replace  it  with  a  Basement
Watchdog  dual  float  and  controller  for  reliable
operation.  The dual float has, not one, but two
floats mounted within a protective cage.  Should
one  float  fail  to  operate,  the  second  float
automatically activates the pump. The protective
cage  prevents  debris  or  other  wires  from
interfering with the movement of the float.  It
can  be  used  to  replace  the  float  on  most  AC
pumps.

CHECK VALVES

What’s a Klunkless Check Valve™?

If  you’ve  spent  any  time  in  your  basement,
you’ve probably noticed your sump pump turning
on and off with a loud clunk.  That’s the result
of the water pressure slamming the valve closed
in  the  check  valve.    The  Klunkless  Check  Valve
has  a  built-in  air  chamber  to  counteract  that
pressure and muffle the sound.  It works just like
a conventional check valve, only quieter.

WATER ALARMS

Minimize the risk of water damage

You can detect leaks before they become bigger
problems  by  placing  a  water  alarm  wherever
there  is  a  risk  of  water  damage…in  the  utility
room,  laundry  room,  kitchen,  bathroom  or
basement.  The alarm will sound when as little as
1/32” of water reaches the sensor.
