If you take the time and periodically check the operation of the system, which includes maintaining the battery water level, the battery may last seven years as mine has. No complaints.
Try doing this when you are bent over inside a cubby hole, and it's not so easy. Still, the batteries don't last nearly as long as claimed, and the backups tend to fail when needed most. Annoying alarm will not shut off. Otherwise, its a great product!
if you need more than the rate back up time you can hook two batteries in series. Otherwise if you are in a chronically high water zone you will really need to consider a different solution such as a water powered sump pump solution... though quite a bit more expensive investment (about $3k to$4k) it is a lot cheaper than the $30k to $40k clean up should your basement get flood out.
Rabbi Farraj It keeps the fluid sensor stable. If the sensor was placed directly into the battery it could become unaligned with the battery fluid. If this happened the sensor would not know how much fluid is in the battery.
I've replaced two of these in the last 9 years. They have never had to work and when tested they always failed. Not good for an emergency situation. Submersible pumps of any kind are not reliable.
Sweet! Now make a video with a pre existing cover

Or just get a battery with a trickle charger and an inverter. When the power goes out, plug your pump into the battery.

Charles P I agree
Also when I put the fluid sensor in the hole on the side it says low water but when I put it in the hole in the middle it's fine ..I'm confused

What is special about the yellow cap?
