5.0 out of 5 stars It works!, October 23, 2009

My home has two Zoeller pumps in the pit: a Zoeller M53 and the 507 Basement Sentry. Coming home from out-of-town one weekend (during which we received about 5 inches of rain), I arrived with the battery alarm in the basement going off. Upon checking the state of the pumps, it turns out the M53 was obstructed, but the basement was completely dry. The alarm went off because the battery was draining...this meant that the 507 did its duty when the M53 malfunctioned. Since this incident, the M53 has been functioning fine. I glad I invested in the 507!

The supplier was very responsive to the order and it was delivered in about a week. If you have a sump pump system that moves any volume of water, power failures are a concern. This product gives you piece of mind and provides everything necessary from a good name brand (except battery) for a minimal installation. They claim the system will run on battery power for 7 hours continuous, longer, depending on duty cycle (duty cycle is the time off compared to time on, for instance, 1 minute off and one minute one is a 1-to-1 duty cycle and would run for 14 hours, according to the paperwork). The instructions show an installation for a 36" deep sump well. I didn't have nearly that amount of vertical room and had to space things more closely together vertically. I had to glue in the one-way valve (as per instructions), but would have used splicers if I had more vertical room. The instructions direct you to glue in the motor as well. I would recommend buying a rubber splice kit so that you can remove the motor. At least by installing a splice on the motor, the valve can be replaced without replacing the motor. Overall, good product, I just wouldn't recommend blindly following the directions and gluing everything for maintenance reasons.

4.0 out of 5 stars works, watch out for airlock, September 8, 2011

This review is from: Zoeller 507-0005 Basement Sentry Battery Backup Pump (Tools & Home Improvement)

last weekend I installed it with diehard battery. as I test it, it seemed to work and yesterday, the power went out and we had basement flood. after much of googling and study the manual, I have learned it was airlock that caused it not to work. For some reason, zoeller has a round cover for water intake and that was causing the air not to escape from it. so I took the cover out and as I test it, It worked beautifully. So watch out for the round plastic cover that cause air lock. other than that, I am pretty confident that this thing will work next time.
