25% of properties would benefit from a battery backup connected to their pump station. From a sample* of remotely monitored pump stations (by SideWinder Tech™) 25% of these would flood within 4 hours during a mains power outage in a heavy rainfall situation.

As we move from Summer into Autumn, British weather holds to its reputation. Over the first days of October, parts of the UK saw up to a month’s worth of rain overnight. With the addition of a PowerMaxx battery backup to the pump system, the average increase in ‘uptime’ pushes up to 16 hours. As an example, a property from the sample that would flood within 1.5 hours would now survive without mains power for 20 hours with a PowerMaxx battery backup installed!

This applies to any event resulting in loss of power to the pumps, i.e. mains grid outage, tripped RCBO, blown fuse spur, accidental power off, etc.
