Geiler Plumbing found that using Wayne Water Systems’ Blue Angel Pumps cut down their installation time, improving overall productivity. The new Blue Angel Pumps’ Pre- Assembled Back-Up and Primary System combines all the components needed for a sump pump with a high-quality backup pump and an autodialer that can notify up to five numbers.
“It’s definitely easier (the installation). You’re not playing with acid, and you don’t have to put prongs in anywhere and make sure you have everything wired up correctly,” said Jose Varos, technician for Geiler Plumbing. “With the old ones, you’d have about 15 lead wires coming over and each one has to be hooked to a certain side. It’s nice that they (Blue Angel) color-code all of them.”
The cast-iron primary pump pushes 60 gallons per minute, while the fully submersible thermoplastic backup pump pushes 47. The backup system includes connection ports for third-party security system notification, while the autodialer allows plumbers to input up to five numbers (including their own) to be alerted in the event flooding occurs. Is this beneficial to the consumer? “I think it is, for quite a few reasons,” Varos said. “People never go down and look at their sump pump. I’ve gone out on inspections, and it’s full to the drain tile, where it’s been running for who knows how long.”
A bright LCD screen displays the time, date, and various messages about the current state of the primary and backup pumps. The system is also extremely quiet while it runs. “It is super quiet. It’s very nice. The only thing I hear is the check-valve when it closes, and that’s how I know it’s actually working.” When he first installed a system, Varos said, “I expected to go downstairs and see water everywhere because of how quiet the pump was.”
Varos continued, “It’s just really nice—for ease of installation, the simplicity, and how user-friendly it is.”
