Then, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is equipped with three pumps: two of which are high-horsepower cast-iron pumps, capable of pumping over 6200 gallons of water per hour, as well as an additional battery back-up pump. The battery backup can be used in case of power or pump failure.
