CELLAR SAVER...
A Sump Pump Failure Warning Device!
ALARM VIEW
Ground water entering the sump well through the drain tile is not being pumped out. The rising water has
lifted the float on the Cellar Saver and caused the magnet on the top end of the swing arm to move away
from the attached contact causing an alarm condition. Placement of the Cellar Saver should be about even
with the drain tile. Water backing up into the tile can cause pressure to build up under the basement floor
which may cause cracks.
