MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Maintenance should be performed 1-2 times per year.
1. Remove all debris from the bottom of the pit.
2. Remove all debris floating in the water.
3. Remove all debris from the float switch cage.
4. Fill the pit with water. Make sure pump turns on at the intended level.
5. While the pump is running, make sure pump is evacuating water at a good pace.
BACKUP INSTALLATION
When the power goes out, the Utilitech AC sump pump will
not operate. For protection during a power outage, a
Basement Watchdog battery backup system can be
installed. There are three systems with matching batteries
that will provide protection. The illustration below is an
example of a typical battery backup installation.
