Safety
General Safety
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give
many years of trouble-free service when correctly
installed, maintained, and used. However, unusual
circumstances (interruption of power to the pump,
dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that exceeds the
pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical failure
in the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from
functioning normally. To prevent possible water
damage due to flooding, consult your retailer
about a secondary AC sump pump, a DC backup
sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See
Troubleshooting in this manual for information
about common sump pump problems and
remedies. For more information, see your retailer or
call Flotec customer service at 1-800-365-6832.
