Trouble with Emecole battery-backup sump pump system

15 years ago

I Purchased a storm-pro battery backed up sump pump system from Emecole. The way it is supposed to work is that the invertor powers the AC pump from 12v deep cycle battteries when the power fails. The problem is the pump startup is too much current and it causes the invertor to overload (every time). Has anyone else had experience with storm-pro or emecole systems?

We've had good luck with the storm pro systems. You may have purchased a defective system.
