Keep Your Water Flowing When the Power Goes Out

In North Idaho, power outages aren’t a
question of if — they’re a question of when. Protect your most critical resource.

Protect Your Water Supply

Why Well Backup Matters

Wind storms, ice storms, heavy snow — when the grid goes down,
your well pump stops. No pump means no water.

Automatic

System kicks in when the grid fails. No manual switching, no going outside in the storm.

Silent

Unlike a generator — nothing to start, fuel, or maintain. Clean, quiet backup power.

Extended Runtime

Battery storage keeps your well running for hours or days — not just minutes like a UPS.

How Well Backup Works

1. Solar Charges

Panels charge your battery bank during the day, keeping it ready.

2. Battery Stores

Enough energy to run your pump through extended outages.

3. Auto Transfer

Detects grid failure and switches to battery power seamlessly.

4. Water Flows

Your water keeps running. No intervention needed. When grid returns, system recharges.

What Can It Power?

  • Standard well pumps — 1/2 HP to 2 HP submersible pumps
  • Pressure tanks & 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

A well backup system is designed to protect your water supply, but it can be expanded to cover additional loads — up
to and including your entire home.

Many customers protect their refrigerator, freezer, lights, and communications on the same backup system. We’ll help
you prioritize what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

are designed for 24–72 hours of intermittent pump operation, but we can design for longer if
needed.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Will it work in winter?” style=”simple” color=”Accent-Color” size=”md”]Yes. We
