Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Whether you have an Aquanot® Battery Backup Sump Pump System, or a competitive brand, all batteries give off gaseous by-products when
charging. Some of these by-products can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these by-products can cause a CO detector to falsely
activate. In order to help prevent false activation, Zoeller recommends moving the battery as far apart from the CO detector as possible or, if
necessary, vent the battery to the exterior. Zoeller provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false activation of the
CO detector. In no way are they meant to supersede the instructions that accompany the detector nor do they supersede advice from the CO
detector manufacturer.
If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:
1) Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.
2) Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses
natural gas.
3) If you are certain that no CO is being produced, then a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products which are causing the
CO detector to activate. Contact the manufacturer of the CO detector, and ask for recommendations as to what can be done to prevent
the alarm activation.
