Ion® 35ACi+
Sump Pump Battery Backup AC Power System
Ion® 35ACi+
Sump Pump Battery Backup AC Power System
1/3 HP stainless steel/cast iron sump pump with automatic auxiliary AC power supply for primary-caliber pump backup when utility power becomes unavailable.
Can function as an everyday primary with continued pump service when power loss occurs or as a dedicated backup to an adjacent primary when inoperable.
Runs on AC power from utility supply or converted battery power reserved for emergency backup (one 12-volt Power+ AGM battery required, purchased separately).
Maintains full performance as pump continues to operate while using either AC power source, with a steady pumping capacity rated at 43 GPM (at 10' of head).
The Ion+ Switch with integrated high water alarm controls pump without moving parts. Detects high water in the sump pit and warns of elevated flood risk.
The Ion 35ACi+ is an advanced sump pump powering system with dual-source AC automatic powering designed for high-performance basement flood protection. The system features our 1/3 HP stainless steel/cast iron sump pump configured to run as a primary-caliber backup during power outages with the capabilities to also operate as a full-service primary for everyday use.
The single-pump primary and backup sump pump offers a convenient all-in-one system installation for new construction or when replacing existing equipment, and is especially ideal for narrow sump pits that only fit one pump.
Rated at 53 GPM of pumping capacity (at 10 feet of total dynamic head), the 120-volt system pump runs on standard AC electricity from one of two configured power sources. In absence of utility power supply, the pump runs on emergency AC power converted from deep cycle battery (requires one 12-volt Power+ AGM, purchased separately). While conventional DC backup systems gradually pump less water the longer an outage continues, the Ion 35ACi+ maintains peak pumping capacity while operating to meet or exceed demand.
Using available utility power, the heavy-duty stainless steel/cast iron high-capacity pump will also operate as the everyday primary. The system is designed to only consume battery when power becomes unavailable. By avoiding unnecessary depletion, the battery stays at 100 percent for whenever the next outage may occur.
Further enhancing pump reliability is the Ion+ Switch, which comes standard with the Ion 35ACi+. The stationary Ion+ Switch operates with no moving parts, and comes integrated with a high water alarm. Its proprietary solid-state sensing technology, first introduced with the original Ion Switch in 2010, has become the proven replacement for mechanical switches commonly attributed to pump failures and unnecessary flooding.
The Ion 35ACi+ can also operate as the secondary pump in applications with a separately installed primary to provide dedicated backup when inoperable from either mechanical or power failure.

- Battery leads and two pipe mount brackets included
- Requires one 12-volt Power+ AGM battery (standalone purchase, not included)
Ion BA33i+
1/3 HP stainless steel primary sump pump configured for emergency service when utility power loss occurs. Its primary-caliber durability and capacity is suited for pumping high volumes of water, unlike traditional backup pumps often unequipped for heavy demands.
- High pumping capacity rated at 53 GPM (at 10′ of head).
- Energy-efficient motor uses half the power of most 1/3 HP pumps, can help prolong runtimes during power outages.
- Stainless steel durability for heavy use, wear and tear protection.
- Conveniently sized. An 18″ sump pit fits two Ion BA33i+ pumps.
- Included with system. Also available for standalone purchase as an everyday primary pump from Ion Technologies suppliers.
Ion+ Switch
Piggyback-style switch and built-in high water alarm with solid-state sensing technology. With no moving parts or contact points, common flood risks from mechanical failures are alleviated.
- Proprietary sensor and solid-state design first introduced with the original Ion Switch in 2010.
- Proven stationary switch is more reliable than mechanical switches. Its enhanced control helps extend pump service life.
- Built-in alarm detects high water level threats, provides opportunity for end user response ahead of potential flooding.
- Comes standard with system. Also available for standalone purchase from Ion Technologies suppliers.
Power+ AGM
During utility power loss, the system’s inverter/charger converts DC battery power into 120-volt AC to run the system pump without the gradual performance loss limitations of traditional battery backups.
- Enables pump to operate at high pumping capacity until power returns or battery completely depletes.
- Deep cycle battery withstands excessive depletions and charges.
- Automatically charges when power returns. System spares unnecessary depletions during availability of utility supply.
- Arrives fully charged and is simple to install. End-user friendly with zero maintenance and easy replacing (every three years).
- One 12-volt Power+ AGM required, not included. Available for standalone purchase from Ion Technologies suppliers.
Ion WC33i
1/3 HP cast iron primary sump pump configured for emergency service when utility power loss occurs. Its primary-caliber durability and capacity is suited for pumping high volumes of water, unlike traditional backup pumps often unequipped for heavy demands.
- High pumping capacity rated at 43 GPM (at 10′ of head).
- Energy-efficient motor uses half the power of most 1/3 HP pumps, can help prolong runtimes during power outages.
- Cast iron built for heavy use, wear and tear protection.
- Conveniently sized. Two Ion WC33i pumps can fit in 18″ sump pit.
- Included with system. Also available for standalone purchase as an everyday primary pump from Ion Technologies suppliers.
