Watchdog Sump Pump Installation

Installing a Basement Watchdog sump pump is easy. Their systems even provide installation manuals with pictures and details to help walk you thought the process, step by step. After you're done installing the system you don't need to do anything until the system alarms. Their units will start pumping water automatically, right when the float switch starts to rise with any water.

What Comes with a Watchdog Sump Pump

When you purchase a Watchdog sump pump, you'll also get a monitoring controller, water sensor, float switch, and battery box. However, they don't come with a battery and acid, or any additional components such as check valves and pipes. This is standard in the industry and should not deter you from purchasing as Watchdog system.

Very little maintenance is required for the Basement Watchdog sump pumps. Follow the manual for details on maintenance and clean out any dirt or debris from the pump. Failure to do so, can lead to malfunction or damage to your sump pump.
