I am very showing today we're here to
talk about the boss 3000
battery-operated some system
this is an extremely high quality system
it features a submersible pump
constructed of rugged cast iron capable
of pumping unimpressive 50 gallons of
water a minute and a 10-foot head
it's operated by this mechanical float
switch which is extremely reliable this
switch is adjustable in height so we can
synchronize the operation of this system
with your primary sump pump this system
comes standard with an 80 amp AGM
maintenance free battery that will get
you through about a 24-hour power outage
should the pump operate once every three
minutes there's an option to upgrade the
battery to a hundred twenty amp unit
will get it for about a 36-hour power
outage
there's also a dual battery system where
we have two hundred twenty amp batteries
then you can expect something more like
72 hours of duration with this pump
running once every three minutes
this system also has a key feature that
I need to let you know about is called
ACDC operation very important that tells
you the consumer this system run off the
house current or the battery which ever
is available
what's makes it important to you let's
see go on vacation
primary sump pump decides to quit
operating that's how it usually works as
long as the house currents available
this thing will keep your basement dry
when you return next week next month or
next year
to be honest this is really a primary
sump pump used in this system you can
rest assured this thing will keep
operating until you return
another thing about the system is the
check valve for those of you that have
experience with a sump pump in your home
you know how they go clock in the middle
of the night
well not ours we install the silent
check valve to ensure our customers get
a great night's sleep
take this 50 gallon per minute system
and use it in conjunction with something
like this is older model 98
f horsepower pump which pumps about 61
gallons of water a minute at the 10 foot
height and you have a great combination
to keep your basement dry
