WAYNE Water Systems Awards This Old House Fans with Sump Pumps in "This Old House Great TOH Giveaway Sweepstakes"
HARRISON, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WAYNE Water Systems announced today that it is awarding 34 winners of the This Old House Great TOH Giveaway Sweepstakes with some very special sump pumps to keep them safe during the storm season. Right on the heels of the second anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, winners will receive WAYNE's Sump Minder Back-Up System, which takes the worry out of sump pump operation by calling homeowners on their landline before there's a problem. The contest, which ran from July 1 – Sept. 2, 2014, was featured in This Old House Magazine and at www.thisoldhouse.com.
"We are very pleased that we can share the safety and peace of mind offered by our WAYNE Sump Minder with the winning homeowners," said Duane Johnson, President, WAYNE Water Systems. "Partnering with This Old House Magazine is an excellent way to match our advanced Sump Minder system and back-up battery with homeowners looking for smart ways to protect their homes and properties."
One of the winners, Jenna Wolford of Mansfield, Ohio, lives in an area where the weather can change dramatically in just a few hours. "We have owned our current home for almost five years and each spring have had heavy downpours and rain storms," says Wolford. "We've had occasional issues with water in the basement, so now the Sump Minder system will give us peace of mind all year long."
With today's unpredictable weather, the WAYNE Sump Minder can monitor potential flooding and communicate it in seconds to the homeowner. The secret is a new microprocessor controlled back-up sump pump that auto dials up to three phone numbers on a landline. The unit also includes a connection for a third party security system for routing the call to the homeowner's home security company.
The Sump Minder voice message provides four main messages and their urgency: check for power outage, check for low battery, back-up pump is in operation or there's an issue with the back-up pump. With a powerful 12V pump that handles 3,300 Gallons per hour at 0 feet, SumpMinder's unique technology combines self-testing of up to 17 different conditions and continuous battery checks.
The WAYNE Sump Minder is available in hardware stores and home centers nationwide. Learn more at www.waynepumps.com.
