MANUFACTURER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, 

CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR BREACH OF 

EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY; AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY 

OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND OF MERCHANTABILITY 

SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESSED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, 

so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the 

exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above 

limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights 

which vary from state to state.

In those instances where damages are incurred as a result of an alleged pump failure, 

the Homeowner must retain possession of the pump for investigation purposes.

The DC emergency pump is designed as a backup to your primary sump pump during unexpected power outages or primary pump failure. The DC 

pump, electronic controls and all the parts required for installation are included except the battery which is supplied by the user. The system is designed 

for installation in sumps with minimum of 18" diameter and 24" deep. For 18" x 22" applications, consult factory.

DESCRIPTION

The DC emergency pump system requires a good quality, 12 volt battery to obtain maximum pumping time during a power outage.  A deep-cycle, 12 volt, 

105 amp-hour marine battery or larger is recommended and will provide approximately 6 hours of continuous pumping time in a sump pump installation 

with 8' of head pressure.  In most installations the pump runs intermittently and the battery life is extended accordingly.  Batteries with top terminals 

are recommended for ease of installation.  These batteries contain acid and proper precaution must be taken when handling.  Maximum battery size 

12½" Length x 7" Width x 9½" Height.

BATTERY SELECTION

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 batteries.  We offer both a Water/

Acid Deep-Cycle Battery which can run the pump continuously for over 6 hours, and a Maintenance-Free AGM Battery, which will power the pump for 

over 5½ 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 Gel-filled or AGM battery

•  Replace your battery every 3 years

•  Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals

•  Do not place your battery on a concrete floor where it will discharge faster

•  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)
