Can I get a battery backup pump into an ejector pit? (basement is
below street line so need ejection for bsmt fixtures). I already have
one on my sump pit which has never been a problem. However about 6
years ago I lost power and the basement ejector pit backud up out the
basement floor drain due to the water softener going into backwash
mode during the outage (its a Kinetico softener that uses no power).

Have any of the plumbers here ever put a battery backup on an ejector
pit (dual pumps)?

I dont expect it to eject solids, just keep the water level down in an
emergency.

RickH,

Did you ever receive an answer to your question? I am in search of the
battery backup ejector pump, as well and not sure one exists.

Thanks,
Michael
