Is it at all possible to use a UPS back-up for the sump pump, or are thoses recommended only for computers?


Some might, but I have a good ups backup for my office computer, modem, screen, etc., but the only thing that it will not protect is my printer because it has a small motor.

For sumps, typicaly a trickler is used to charge a car or marine grade battery. In case of a power failure that type of battery should last long enough.


Pardon my ignorance. I do have a marine battery and a Motomaster invertor (one of those things with + and - clamps that you clip to the battery, and then you can plug things in), could something like that work for the sump pump in case of a power outage?


I'm quite sure that would work Alpha as long as the battery has power it should work. Why not give it a try ?

you will need ~1200w inverter to run a sump pump (assuimg the pump is 12A)
