Sump Pumps varies usually from 1 / 3-3 / 4 hp and the maximum rated pumping capacity in GPH (gallons per hour). Running a sump pump with battery backup continuously for 6 to 12 hours before the battery loses, is free. This is sufficient to overcome most of the errors. When electricity is more than that could be a generator kept indefinitely, but you must make sure that is the sump pump in a circuit used by the generator.

Make sure that the oil pan draws water from the house, too, or pumping thethe same water again and again.
