I, too, have a "Watchdog" as a second pump, and also have a generator
that I can run the AC pump. However, I really like the idea of the
water pump because, you really don't have to be present.

You don't have to be present for the Watchdog either (just to clarify for
others who may see this and wonder). You'd only have to be present if the
battery ran down.

Watchdog pumps come in various capacities -- I got the 7-hour one (the
minimum) because we rarely lose power for long lengths of time, and our pump
rarely cycles faster than once every 5 minutes or so (and usually much less
than that). The 7 hours is for continuous pumping.

Everything has pro's and con's -- each individual needs to weigh them out.
