Features of The Basement Watchdog BWT Series of Primary Sump Pumps
Built to Last
The Basement Watchdog BWT series (Models BWT050, BWT075) features an energy-saving, Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor that has carbon/ceramic shaft seals and thermal protection to safeguard the motor. The upper and lower ball bearings ensure the pump runs quietly and extend its life.
Rugged Construction
The Basement Watchdog BWT series of sump pumps (Models BWT050, BWT075) are built with a cast-iron volute for strength and an aluminum body for quicker, more effective cooling, which extends the life of the pump.
Energy-Efficient Operation
The sump pumps in the Basement Watchdog BWT series (Models BWT050, BWT075) save you money on your electric bills and reduce their effect on the environment. The AC sump pumps in the BWT series are engineered with PSC motors and dual ball bearings that together deliver industry-leading energy efficiency and savings.
Dual Float Switches—Twice the Protection
The Basement Watchdog BWT series (Models BWT050, BWT075) features a caged, micro-reed Dual Float Switch. We introduced this technology, proven reliable in other uses for over 50 years, to the pump industry and improved it by including two floats. Simply stated: if one is good, two is better.
Pumping Power
The ½ HP (Model BWT050) in the Basement Watchdog BWT series of sump pumps moves an impressive 4,100 GPH at a 0' height (2,770 GPH at a 10' height), and the ¾ HP (Model BWT075) handles 5,300 GPH at a 0' height (3,630 GPH at a 10' height).
Why the BWT Sump Pump
The Basement Watchdog Professional BWT sump pumps, our most popular series, come in ⅓ HP and ½ HP and models with a top discharge so the pump easily fits into narrow pits. These rugged pumps have a cast-iron body and stainless-steel fasteners to prevent pump corrosion. The BWT sump pumps include the top-of-the-line caged Dual Float Switch for double the protection.

The Basement Watchdog has been protecting homes for over 30 years and continues to be a market leader. We build the most dependable, user-friendly pumps in the industry using intelligent design, premium components, and quality manufacturing practices that include thoroughly testing every single unit.

Had mine for about a year now and it already failed. The battery backup ran as long as it could and ultimately ended up flooding my basement. Hoping it’s still under warranty

This is a great sump pump. Usually, the float switch goes out & you have to replace the pump. This pump has an external switch which costs $36 on Amazon to replace. This pump will last several years and it's not that expensive.

I have used many other brands for pumps over many many years. once I tried Basement watchdog sump, never looked back. I found this pumps to be most reliable and smartly designed.With other brand if the float fails you have to replace whole pump, with this one since they are separate you can get away replacing float switch only. The pumps are made to last long time even with continuous duty.Customer service is Super friendly and easy. you have a customer for a life.

I had this same model for about 12 years before it quit working, but I liked it and bought it again. It may have failed only because I didn't elevate it on a brick or something when I installed it, and it was sitting in a lot of clay type sludge when I went to replace it. The impeller or internal components may have gotten clogged or seized.Again, I did not elevate the new one but I sucked up and cleaned the sump out thoroughly. I hope it lasts another decade or more.
