After having our HVAC replaced this year due to age and recent frequent & expensive repairs, then a week later having the hot water heater fail, we decided the only thing left in the basement that could die was the sump pump, and that's not something I care to have fail as that usually happens when you need it most.
We'd had a battery back-up for the old sump pump, but now have a WATER back-up which doesn't require a battery. Seems too good to be true, but it's 'powered' by centrifugal force. Even if the power goes out, we're good.
