These are nice if you have city water since you need NO electricity to run it.Yes.
My water powered backup was installed after the fact.
You do, however, have to tie into your existing water supply. The plumber put a T in with a valve to shut if off if needed.
You have to run a parallel pvc pipe up the wall from the sump pit and out through the existing wall.
I never worry about the power going out during storm, now.
The pump was around $150 and install was a couple of hundred. I had some other work done so I don't remember the exact price.
