Review Posted 06/18/2021
I purchased a 585 aquanot back up in 2009 after a few prolonged power outages, and after seeing all the furniture, rugs, etc stacked up throughout my neighborhood waiting for garbage day. Fortunately I had a generator to use and was home when the power went out. I decided I better have a strong back up sump installed and was recommended the aquanot as a superior unit. Soon after installation the power went out for about 6 hours and the back up worked fine.
Power outages here occur from very heavy radar red storms, so a high volume pump is especially necessary to keep up with the water flow. Aside from the one storm that I can remember the back up rarely ran again. The village must have improved the power grid as outages have become rare. None the less I keep my pump ready. The original 28 amp charger went bad around 5 years ago so I bought a 4 amp battery tender to replace it. The Zoller dealer wanted about $400 for a new one and the tender was around $50. The only advantage to high amps is that a pretty dead battery will re-charge in 4 hours as opposed to 24.
After the storm has passed, I don't see a need for a super fast charge. I test the unit every 3 months by manually lifting the float. Every year of two I will also unplug my main pump in short heavy storms to give it an hour of emptying the basin. After 12 years it still empties fine. I have replaced the battery with a group 31, 105 ah agm deep cell battery.
My current one is about 3 years old and holds a charge quite well. The agm are about $100 more expensive than a comparable wet cell but I feel there will be less chance of acid fumes in the closed basement. I have friends that have purchased less expensive back up units but I feel the 585 has been worth the extra peace of mind.

Backup Battery Does Not Work After Just 1 Year!!!!
By Carolyn M.
Barrington, Illinois
Review Posted 06/01/2020
We purchased this backup pump and battery just over a year ago, and it was installed by a professional. Tonight our power went out for the first time. Can you believe the backup pump battery did not work? I am unbelievably frustrated that a top of the market backup pump DID NOT WORK after just 1 year. Our basement would have flooded within 60 minutes. Fortunately, the power was only out for a short period of time. The alarm did sound, but the backup pump did not come on. What a waste of money... if our power went out in a rain storm we would have been flooded.

Very sorry to hear you're having problems with your battery. Based on notes from your order, this was purchased in June of 2018. The pump system and battery each have a 3-Year Warranty. You may want to have your installer troubleshoot the system to see if it is the battery or the pump/charger, and contact Zoeller directly @ (800) 928-7867

I've Had This Backup For 16 Yrs And Have No Complaints.

The last time my basement flooded was in 2008 when the river crested and it cost me me thousands in damage. I went to Milne in Munster, IN and they recommended this backup pump. I am so glad I spent the extra $$ because it was worth it. I tell everyone that asks to go with Zoeller. They are the best for residential pumps.

Zoeller Aquanot Pedestal Backup

Very nice design. Powerful and empties the pit guickly. For this kind of money the motor should be brushless which would last longer and also provide for less draw on battery. In my opinion this probably is the best backup available.

Typical Zoeller High Quality Except...
By Del V.

Review Posted 05/08/2018
Typical Zoeller high quality pump that actually performs better than my primary Zoeller electric pump! My only complaint is with the very low quality brass adjustment stops for the float adjustment. These stops slide on the adjustment rod until tightened with a single brass slotted head set screw. They proved very difficult to make adjustments while the pump was sitting in our pit, something necessary for me to fine tune the on and off water level settings. For a pump that is very high cost if not the highest cost Zoeller should have used better adjusters. At least use a more friendly and durable torx or Allen head set screws. I purchased 2 Zoeller batteries and wired them together for a longer run time just to provide more peace of mind. But, the Zoeller batteries are very expensive as well. Hopefully it all works as promised and stands the test of time.

My old one of 15 yrs went south, wanted to stay with the same so bought new. If you cycle your back up pump a couple times a month you will get the most life out of your battery backup pumps!!!

Review Posted 06/13/2017
This pump worked so well the last 15 years, I replaced it with the same model. I am diligent about maintenance and replacement and this is the best pick for me. I tested this pump every month and cycled it 2 or 3 times and it never disappointed me. The time it kicked in when the water was overcoming the regular pump, it did fantastic. That was the biggest flood in over 100 years and those two pumps did fantastic.

Review Posted 03/07/2017
When my regular pump was getting very hot after several inches of rain fell, I unplugged the regular pump and let the backup work for a while. It did just fine. We will see how long it will last although rarely runs you would think it would last forever. My first one lasted 10 years. I got advise to run it every month or two to keep seals moist. I will sure do that.

This Zoeller battery power backup unit is the best I've seen. Be sure to get a good gel (sealed) battery to go with it, don't get a "wet" battery.
If you really want to have an extra layer of protection, get the # 007861 dual-battery kit and double the time you can run on battery power.
