Hey everyone! I just moved into a new house with a sump pump that's currently plugged directly into the wall. I'm looking for recommendations on how to set it up with a battery backup. What parts do I need to buy, and what setup would work best?

To set up a good battery backup for your sump pump, you’ve got a few options. Most DIY stores sell battery backup systems that include a secondary pump which can kick in when the power goes out. Essentially, you'll have a backup pump that runs off a battery, ensuring you’re covered during outages. Plus, if your main pump fails, the backup will alert you and take over.
That sounds super helpful! How do you decide on the right battery capacity for this kind of system?
