Why Water Pump Backup Battery Systems Matter

Power outages don’t just turn off the lights, they can completely stop your water supply if your pump relies on mains electricity. A backup battery system automatically kicks in when power is lost, keeping your pump running without manual intervention.

Backup battery systems help to:

Maintain water supply during power cuts
Prevent pressure loss and dry-running damage
Support essential household and farm water use
Reduce stress during storms and outages
Add resilience to rural and tank-fed properties

For homes on tank or bore water, a battery backup isn’t just convenient, it’s often essential.

What’s Included in Our Backup Battery System Installation

We tailor each system to your pump type, usage, and property needs. A typical installation includes:

Assessment of your existing pump and power setup
Correct battery sizing for your pump load
Battery inverter or controller setup
Safe electrical integration with your pump system
Automatic changeover during power outages
System testing and commissioning
Clear advice on maintenance and battery lifespan

If your existing pump system isn’t suitable for battery backup, we’ll explain your options clearly before proceeding.

How Long Will a Backup Battery Run My Pump?

Backup runtime depends on:

Pump size and power draw
Battery capacity
Frequency of water use during an outage

In most residential setups, battery systems are designed to provide several hours of intermittent pump use, which is usually more than enough for drinking water, toilets, and essential household needs.

We’ll help you choose the right balance between runtime, system size, and cost.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Citywide Plumbing provides a reliable, friendly, honest and trustworthy service. My relationship with them extends back decades. While at the more expensive end of the plumbing services scale, the quality and consistency of their work is worth paying more for. I highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would give 6 stars if I could! We had a fault with our waste water pump and the control switch and called a number of plumbers, all of whom referred us to Citywide Plumbing. They were on the scene within 20 minutes and had given us a breakdown of what went wrong and how they'd fix it. They provided a quote the next day and helped us work with our insurance. Once the parts had arrived Sean got to work and did an excellent job helping us get our plumbing in order. Josh and Sean were a pleasure to deal with from the get go and were professional, courteous and were very knowledgeable - making them an expert in what they do. Wishing everybody at Citywide plumbing all the best, you guys rock!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service. Pump started making some noise, I ignored it for a couple of weeks and the organised the team to come and look at it a couple days later. Pump died completely that evening, they came out the following morning to rescue us with a loan pump. Took a look at the old one and showed it was done, installed a new one for me. Highly recommend the Citywide team.
