[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 983858, member: 52972"] Eddie, If you don't have a basement, you probably don't have a need for a sump pump..:grin: I see your point, but where I live we have water towers and one is less than 2 miles away. But I don't have a basement either, so I have not need for a sump pump...:bwahaha: As many storms as we have had her in Central Texas over the years, I have lost electric power many times but never lost water? So I would think the water powered sump pump backup would be much more reliable. I did have low water pressure once at my new house. There was no storm or power outage and I called the city water company. While I was on the phone, full pressure came back, and I never knew what caused the water pressure drop. I had water, it was just slow and and kind of trickled out of the faucet at about half the normal rate. Most larger cities have backup generators to power the pumps if comercial/City power should fail. I think it would take the perfect storm to knock out electricity, knock out the generators at the city water pumps, and have your sump pump, and water back up all fail at the same time. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
