Keep Your Water Flowing When the Power Goes Out
In North Idaho, power outages are not a question of if – they are a question of when. Protect your most critical resource.
Well backup keeps the pump side of your system alive so your water keeps flowing through an outage.
Why Well Backup Matters
Wind storms, ice storms, and heavy snow can take the grid down fast. When that happens, your well pump stops – and no pump means no water.
Automatic
The system is ready when utility power fails, so water protection happens without manual intervention.
Silent
No generator noise, no fuel runs, and no fumes around the property when the outage starts.
Extended Runtime
Solar or larger storage can help keep water available longer when the outage lasts beyond the first day.
How Well Backup Works
Battery backup covers the well pump
The battery system covers the pump side of the water system so your home or property still has water during the outage.
Inverter and transfer equipment keep it safe
The inverter and transfer gear manage the switchover cleanly so the system behaves safely when grid power drops.
Solar can recharge batteries if the outage lasts
Optional solar input can help replenish storage so the system can keep covering the well beyond the first cycles.
What Can It Power?
- Standard well pumps – 1/2 HP to 2 HP submersible pumps
- Pressure tanks and booster pumps – normal household pressure
- Additional critical loads – refrigeration, lights, communications
We size the system based on your specific well pump and how long you want to run during an outage.
Expandable System
If the property needs more than well protection, the system can be designed to include more loads without changing the core backup plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this keep my well pump running during an outage?
That depends on the pump size and the loads you want to support, but the system is designed specifically to keep water available when power fails.
How long will the batteries last?
Battery runtime depends on the pump draw and how often the pump cycles. We size the system around your actual use, not guesswork.
Can solar recharge the batteries after the pump runs?
Yes. Solar can help recharge the batteries during longer outages when the sun is available.
Can you back up other critical loads too?
Yes, if the rest of the backup design supports it. Some projects stay focused on the well pump; others add refrigerators, lights, or communications gear.
Is this different from full off-grid power?
Yes. Well backup is a more targeted system. It protects water access first and can be expanded if the property needs more coverage later.
