CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS

Whether you have a Aquanot

®

 Backup Pump System, or a competitive brand, all use batteries that give off gaseous by-products when charging. Some of 

these by-products can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these by-products can cause a CO detector to falsely activate. In order to help prevent false 

activation, Zoeller Company recommends moving the battery as far apart from the CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the exterior. 

Zoeller Company provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false activation of the CO detector. In no way are they meant to supersede 

the instructions that accompany the detector nor do they supersede advice from the CO detector manufacturer.

If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:

1)  Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.

2)  Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses natural gas.

3)  If you are certain that no CO is being produced, then a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products which are causing the CO detector to 

activate. Contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations as to what can be done to prevent the alarm activation.

There are millions of batteries manufactured each year, so it is impossible to guarantee consistent quality. A defective battery will never become 

fully charged and may damage the charging circuits of the Control. It is for this reason that Zoeller offers its own line of deep cycle batteries. 

We offer both a "wet" cell battery and maintenance-free AGM battery which can run the pump continuously for about 6 hours.  These times are 

based on continuous pumping at 10' of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static head, volume of water entering the pit, and the 

condition of the battery.

Follow these recommendations:

•  Use a B.C.I. size 27 deep-cycle battery, 175 minute reserve capacity, or larger.

•  Do NOT use a “maintenance-free” battery unless it is a AGM battery.

•  Replace your battery every 3 years.

•  Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals.

•  To check specific gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).

PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY:  

•  Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).
