Zoeller 12V Aquanot® Spin Battery Backup Sump Pump System
Automatically starts when your existing sump pump fails
Product QuestionsAnswered by Jim, the Sump Pump Expert
With the integrated check valve that comes on the 508, are any vent holes or other check valves required in my PVC pipe?

Answer
Since the check valve is installed at the pump discharge, there is no need for the weep hole or for any other check valves. Just make sure that you check & keep the air relief hole from the pump clear.

can this system be used with AGM batteries?
Don G

Answer
Yes! This system will work with wet cell or maintenance free AGM batteries. I recommend deep cycle 12V rated at a minimum 100ah or 175 reserve minutes.
Please note that the Zoeller 508 Battery Backup System does include a 1 year manufacturer warranty. If you purchase the Zoeller 10-1450 - Aquanot 12V Deep Cycle 72AH AGM Battery or the Zoeller 10-0761 - Aquanot 12V Deep Cycle 83AH Wet Battery at time of purchase, that warranty is extended by 2 years to a THREE year manufacturer warranty.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.

I have no experience with battery back-up systems but I'm considering this system for purchase. It does not include a battery. What type and size battery is optimally recommended for this system?

Answer
The Zoeller 508 Battery Backup Sump Pump System battery box will accept all group size 27, 29 and 31 batteries. This includes wet cell and maintenance free batteries. The larger the battery AH (Amp Hour) or CCA (Cold Cranking Amps), the longer runtime your system will realize. That said, the system comes with a ONE year warranty. IF you purchase a Zoeller Aquanot WET CELL BATTERY or MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERY at time of purchase, that system warranty will be increased to THREE years.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Does the Zoeller Aquanot 508 have to be installed as shown in the picture (integrated with the primary) or can it be installed with separate piping and check valve next to and above the primary? Thanks in advance!

Answer
It can be installed separately. A check valve is already integrated on the discharge of the 508 pump, so no other check valve is needed.

Hello! What is the minimum amount of clearance needed to install the Zoeller 508 - Aquanot system? I have an older house with a relatively small sump basin. Thanks!

Minimum pit size requirements: 18" diameter X 24" deep.
