Product Description

Features of The Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT Battery Backup Sump Pump
24/7 Monitoring
The controller for the Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT (Model BWSP) provides crucial, 24-hour-a-day monitoring of pump, power and battery conditions, ensuring your sump pump is ready to protect. The easy-to-understand controller detects irregularities, sounds an alarm, and visually pinpoints problems and solutions on the front panel.
Automatic Protection
With the Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT battery backup sump pump (Model BWSP) on guard, you’ll have confidence knowing your basement is protected. The control box automatically monitors the system, and should the power go out or the main sump pump fail, the battery backup will take over to keep your basement dry.
Dual Float Switches–Twice the Protection
The Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT (Model BWSP) battery backup sump pump includes a micro-reed Dual Float Switch. We introduced this technology, proven reliable in other uses for over 50 years, to the pump industry and improved it by including two floats. Simply stated: if one is good, two is better.
Automatic Charging
The Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT (Model BWSP) battery backup sump pump is equipped with an automatic, multi-stage, 1.6amp charger that keeps the battery fully charged and ready to go, plus it’s compatible with our maintenance-free and wet-cell batteries.
Remote Notification
Knowing the status of your sump pump is critical whether you are at home or away. The Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT (Model BWSP) battery backup sump pump can link to The Basement Watchdog Wi-Fi Module (Model BW-WiFi) or a home security system, allowing for real-time alerts via text, email, through our app, or from your home security provider.
Matching Batteries
The Basement Watchdog Special CONNECT (Model BWSP) battery backup sump pump is designed to be used in conjunction with the Maintenance Free Standby Battery (Model BW-27AGM) or the Big (wet cell) Standby Battery (Model 30HDC140S). This system accommodates two batteries for double the runtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the Line
Verified PurchaseAfter Hurricane Izabell on the East Coast seven years ago I purchased the Basement Watchdog battery backup sump pump for my own residence because I was basically scared to death of watching my finished basement float away just because the electricity was out. I purchased the "Big Dog" which is one step up and about $150 more than this model. I've had it for about 7 years and it has worked perfectly. This year we had Hurrican Irene on the East Coast and our power went out (AGAIN) for five days. I was good with my Basement Watchdog (and my portable generater that I also bought) but my Mother's basement flooded for the first time in 30 years. Her power never went out 7 years ago during the last Hurricane so she never thought it would ever go out. Well it went out this time and what a mess. I purchased this middle of the three models for her and installed it myself (just as I installed mine 7 years ago) and it was the same thing. Super high quality parts, easy installation and peace of mind for years to come. I can rest easy knowing that my mother's basement will never flood again and also knowing that she can rest easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Installed it in 4/2023. Still going strong 4/2024
Verified PurchaseI intalled this myself with an existing mains powered sump pump. It wasn't that difficult once the piping was cut to the right lengths needed. The electronic CPU for the battery backup has lights that go off explaining what the issue is which makes it easy for me and my wife to determine the issue (this morning it was beeping because the circuit breaker had tripped and the diagnostic light that was on was "power"). The system works. I'm back online today to search for and order the Bluetooth addon that will send messages to my phone when there are issues (as long as my wifi is up).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great peace of mind!
Verified PurchaseIt’s great to have installed it really gives us peace of mind when there’s storm in case of power outages. It’s ability to tell you when the battery needs replaced is amazing. Wish I had gotten it along time ago!

4.0 out of 5 stars My original lasted 8 years, and I just replaced it
Verified PurchaseI just purchased this model to replace the same model that I owned for about 8 years (the control unit finally failed and would not charge the battery). The pump and electronics were very reliable for those 8 years. This new unit seems to be about exactly the same as the old unit. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it. It does have WIFI alert capability, but it's sold separately, and seems its only one way alerts. You cannot control the unit remotely.
The issue with the overall system is that you need to keep up with the battery (sold separately). It needs maintenance (add distilled water) every 6 months, and to be safe, I recommend replacing the battery between years 3-4. I had an experience with a battery 5+ years old and in a rain storm where the pump needed to run very frequently over basically the course of 24 hours during a major power outage and it failed over night, so keep up on the battery for max safety. But, the pump is excellent and very reliable. The fact that its plastic is not a negative as so many people think. I pulled my 8 year old pump out and it was still in very good looking condition, compared to my main pump (an excellent brand pump), which is cast iron and submerged and been installed for less than 6 months and already corroding. Plastic lasts forever. It's not a bad thing.
I'm very happy to replace my old system with this new one and given the pipework was already in place, I did it myself and it was super easy to swap out the pump and control unit by simply disconnecting the pipes under the check values. No water, no mess, nothing. Looking forward to another 8 years from this new unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG
Verified PurchaseI just installed things went pretty easy. I bought the check valve at Home Depot made by basement watchdog already assembled. The adapter that comes in box is 1 1/4 threads to 1 1/2 pipe the one from Home Depot is 1 1/2” threads so I had to cut that off and use adapter in box. In my opinion that should have came with the unit in the box. I tested and things are working well. I used a maintenance free battery instead of the lead acid battery. Which I recommend I maintain my golf cart with the acid battery, it’s a pain.
