Zoeller, a long-standing name in sump pump technology, has introduced the Aquanot Battery Back-Up System, model 508-0005, aimed at homeowners seeking reliable backup power for their sump pumps. The unit integrates a sealed, maintenance-free battery with an automated control manifold that initiates pumping when mains power fails. This reduces the risk of basement flooding during extended outages.

Key features of the 508-0005 include automatic battery isolation to prevent discharge when not in use, and a startup protection mechanism that ensures the pump responds promptly once power is restored. The system is designed for compatibility with standard Zoeller sump pumps and is marketed for easy installation in typical residential basements.

In terms of performance, the Aquanot system promises several hours of backup operation depending on water load and pump size. Zoeller emphasizes compact packaging to minimize space requirements, which is advantageous for tight utility rooms. Users should verify electrical and venting clearances per local codes before installation.

From a maintenance perspective, the unit requires periodic battery checks and a simple replacement process when the backup battery reaches the end of its life. The product literature notes that battery health is critical to reliable operation during a power outage, and recommends standard battery replacement intervals consistent with the battery type used in the system.

Industry observers say the Aquanot 508-0005 competes in a crowded market of sump pump backups by leveraging Zoeller’s existing pump ecosystem and customer service network. Homeowners considering a purchase should compare run-time expectations, warranty terms, and installation requirements with other backup solutions to ensure alignment with their flood-prevention goals.

In summary, the Zoeller Aquanot 508-0005 offers an integrated, user-friendly approach to backup sump pump power, with emphasis on automatic operation and compatibility within Zoeller’s product family. For those prioritizing continuous basement protection during outages, this model represents a practical option worth evaluating against similar systems.
