Why do plumbers like our Simple Sump Systems?

Because time is money! In one carton, our simple sump systems combine an AC primary sump pump pre-plumbed with a PVC Y-connection to a DC backup sump pump, 2 check valves, and a battery case with DC controller. Everything you need for a quick and easy install of an AC – DC system that gives the homeowner basement protection and peace of mind. Now, introducing the ultimate in protection–our latest combo systems, the Simple Sump Minder Systems. Choose from either a 1/3 HP or 1/2 HP primary vertical float pump, connected to our best performing DC pump and controlled by the intelligent algorithms of our Sump Minder control unit. The Sump Minder continually checks for AC power and DC battery health, and runs a self-test of the DC pump and floats every 7 days. Should the controller detect a problem, the auto-dialer kicks into action and sends a voice message to any telephone number you program. Program up to 5 numbers, spouse, a neighbor,  or your plumbing business can receive the voice alert. Check out all our Blue Angel simple sump systems on our web site.

Introducing Sump Minder™

By linda.kerdolff  |  2013/02/01 11:50 Posted in Blue Angel Pumps  |  Comments (0)

Sump Minder Advanced Notification DC Back-up Sump System continually checks for power, self-tests every 7 days and auto-dials any phone number with a voice alert if a problem is detected.

 

Introducing a new 12V back-up sump system from Blue Angel, unlike any other on the market. Our microprocessor controlled system checks for AC power, battery status, float and DC pump operation and sends the homeowner a voice alert in advance of a problem, so action can be taken before flooding occurs. Check out our video demonstration.

Plumbers will appreciate the easy to install features, and simple software set up. The DC pump installs in the sump pit, same as a typical DC back-up installation.  Connecting the DC pump, the 3-wire dual float, power, and phone line is a snap!  We’ve made each connection a unique snap in connector so there’s no guessing how it all plugs in. An LED screen walks you through the set-up menus with step by step set up instructions.

 

program up to 5 telephone numbers for the unit to call if it detects a flood emergency

Our software algorithms check for 17 conditions, and if it uncovers a problem, an audible alarm sounds and screen message appears for less critical conditions. For emergency conditions, like a high water condition, or is the 12 Volt battery needs to be replaced, the system will dial the phone number(s) you program in if you need to take immediate action. Program in up to 5 numbers—the homeowner’s cell phone, a neighbor, or even your business number, if you’d like to be a first responder to a flooding situation.

This product is ideal for home owners who live an on-the-go lifestyle, travel frequently out of town, or maintain a 2nd home. Your customers will appreciate the peace of mind. Check out our video demonstration here, or the product specs on our web page.

Keep Your Sump Pump Discharge Line From Freezing

By dougbilliter  |  2012/02/03 18:43 Posted in Prevent Water Damage, WAYNE Pumps  |  Comments (0)

A sump pump is a key piece of equipment in your home, making sure it is properly functioning is an utmost priority in home maintenance.  In the winter months it is important to make sure your discharge line does not freeze.  Check all connection points to make sure no leakage is present inside and out, if there is a leak this has the potential of freezing.  During warmer months a leak may not be noticeable unless you have standing water around the discharge line.  As temperatures drop down to the freezing range the discharge line could freeze and damage your sump pump.  A pump running and not lowering the water level in the basin may indicate a frozen discharge line.  If the discharge line is visible outside your home make sure water is flowing out of the pipe when the pump is running.  If the discharge line is below grade freezing may occur at the frost line.  If the discharge line drains to the ground make sure there is a sloping grade away from your home.  Water sitting close to a foundation may filter back and run into the drain line to your sump pump causing a repetitive pump cycle and shorten the life of your sump pump.

The Holidays Are Over!

By deb.dils  |  2012/01/11 15:26 Posted in Prevent Water Damage, WAYNE Pumps  |  Comments (0)

The holidays are over and if you are like me, the clean up is the worst part.  Packing up the decorations, tearing down the tree, and lugging the boxes to the basement rank as one of the “humbug” chores associated with this holiday.  While you are putting the boxes away in the basement, take a few minutes to check your sump pump to make sure that it is clean and working properly.

Here are a few guidelines to follow:

1. Fill sump pit with water to make sure the pump is operating.

2. Check to insure pump is discharging water.

3. Make sure the intake of the pump is not clogged with any debris.

float to get in the way and pumps water down to about 1/2 in. deep.”

Matthew Paul, Des Moines, IA:
“It automatically shuts off, which eliminates the possibility that it will
burn up. I don’t have to constantly check on it; I know it will do the
job.”
