Product Questions
Answered by Jim, the Sump Pump Expert
Looking down the road, if and when the pump fails / wears out, would I be able to replace it or do I need to replace the entire unit? Hence, would I be able to use the power inverter or controller with other pumps? Thanks.

I currently have the small emergency backup sump pump (watchdog), which no longer works. I am looking to replace it with watchdog big dog backup system. Would the discharge pipe have to be modified to accommodate the new pump? Also, I just replaced the (6 hour)battery last year and it seems fine. Would it be possible to use this battery with the more powerful pump?
