Quick Answer
The Zoeller Aquanot Fit 508-0014 is worth considering if you already have a suitable primary sump pump and want a separate battery-powered backup pump. Its appeal is the combination of a dedicated 12-volt pump, automatic self-testing and built-in Wi-Fi monitoring.
The important buying detail is what the box does not include: a battery or a primary sump pump. Your real budget also depends on the battery, installation, any additional plumbing and whether the existing primary pump needs replacement.
For Canadian buyers, the next step is to compare a complete installed quote—not just the kit's headline price. The two planners on this page help you organize that decision.

Quick buying verdict
| Consider the Fit 508-0014 when… | Check before ordering |
|---|---|
| Your existing primary pump is suitable and in good condition | This kit is a backup system; it does not replace the primary pump |
| You want a dedicated battery-powered pump for a power outage or primary-pump problem | The backup must still handle the water entering your particular basin |
| You value self-tests and remote notifications | Internet alerts depend on a working home network and internet connection |
| You have space for a second pump, floats and a battery case | Basin layout, discharge arrangements and battery clearance need checking |
| You are comparing a complete installed price | Include the battery and any work not included in the kit price |
For homes with sustained heavy inflow, a long outage or difficult discharge plumbing, have the installer assess pump capacity and backup duration before choosing the system. A larger battery does not correct an undersized pump.
Make sure you are buying the right Aquanot
“Zoeller 508” is a family name, not a complete model identification. The Fit backup kit, Spin backup kit and ProPak packages are different purchases.
| Model / manufacturer part number | What distinguishes it |
|---|---|
| Aquanot Fit 508-0014 | Backup kit with built-in Wi-Fi; primary pump and battery purchased separately |
| Aquanot Spin 508-0005 | Different backup-kit variant; not the same built-in Wi-Fi configuration as Fit |
| Aquanot Fit ProPak 508-0015 | Package with an M53 primary pump |
| Aquanot Fit ProPak 508-0016 | Package with an M98 primary pump |
This guide covers 508-0014. Check that number on the retailer page, your quote and the order confirmation. A lower-priced Spin listing or a more expensive ProPak bundle is not a like-for-like price comparison. [1][2]
The Fit kit includes the DC backup pump, controller/charger, battery case, float switches and specified connection components. The exact list is in the manual; additional materials may still be needed for your installation. A pictured battery case should not be interpreted as an included battery. [1][3]
Canadian availability and price: what we could verify
On November 4, 2026, Outils Pierre Berger listed the exact 508-0014 for CA$1,049.99 and displayed in-stock units at two Quebec branches. That is a dated retailer snapshot, not a delivered-price quote or a promise of tomorrow's inventory. Check delivery to your postal code, taxes, package contents and service arrangements before paying. [4]
Canadian Pump Shop also has an exact-model listing. Its retrieved page displayed $875.00, but the extracted page did not explicitly identify the currency, and we could not establish stock from it. We are therefore not treating that as a verified CA$875 in-stock offer. [5]
The matching Amazon.ca listing is ASIN B07NYB8SJ4. At our check it did not show a featured offer, so we could not verify a current Amazon price, seller or delivery promise. The listing is useful for checking availability; it is not evidence that the kit is currently buyable at a particular price. [6]

Before choosing a seller, confirm who handles Canadian warranty service and which parts, labour and shipping costs your quote covers. Zoeller's current manual describes a three-year limited warranty for qualifying purchases through an authorized seller; that is not a promise that every installation or service cost is covered. [1]
Which battery does the Fit 508 need?
The current Fit manual recommends a 12-volt deep-cycle marine battery of 90 Ah or larger and identifies AGM batteries as an option. Its longer-runtime example uses 100+ Ah. It also gives a battery-selection reference of BCI size 27 deep-cycle with 175 minutes of reserve capacity or larger. These are manufacturer selection references, not a formula for converting amp-hours into reserve-capacity minutes. [1]
A practical battery conversation with your supplier should cover:
- Compatibility: the battery type must match the Fit charger and the applicable manual. The manual excludes gel and automotive batteries; do not assume a lithium battery is a compatible drop-in substitute.
- Physical fit: confirm the actual battery-case dimensions, battery dimensions, terminal height and cable clearance.
- Usable condition: age, charge level and temperature affect what the battery can deliver.
- Service needs: a flooded battery has different maintenance requirements from AGM.
Why insist on measuring? Zoeller documents available online show different battery-case dimensions. The current manual and the Canadian technical sheet also use somewhat different fit guidance. A group number alone should not settle the purchase. Have the seller confirm compatibility with the exact kit they will supply. [1][3]
You do not need to buy an oversized battery to compensate for an uncertain pump choice. First establish whether the pump can handle the water; then choose a compatible battery and plan for the required operating time.
Can the backup pump keep up with your basement?
There are two separate questions:
- Flow: can the backup pump remove water faster than it enters the basin under the conditions you need it to handle?
- Duration: can the battery support that pumping demand for the outage you are planning for?
Pump output falls as the pump works against greater total dynamic head. Vertical lift matters, but so do the discharge pipe and its restrictions. “My discharge is about 10 feet high” is not a complete capacity assessment.
There is also a source detail worth preserving when comparing published numbers:
| Manufacturer document | Published output at 10 ft head | Stated test voltage |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian technical sheet FM3124, revision 0224 | 30 US gallons/minute, approximately 114 L/min | 12.1 V |
| Fit installation manual FM3120, revision 0326 | 35 US gallons/minute, approximately 132 L/min | 12.7 V |
These are published operating points under different stated conditions, not two interchangeable guarantees for your installation. Ask the installer or Zoeller to use the curve applicable to the actual unit and assess the expected inflow and discharge arrangement. [1][3]
The backup's duty cycle can also differ from the primary pump's. A smaller-flow backup may run longer to remove the same incoming water. That is why measuring only the primary pump's on/off pattern cannot establish this backup's battery life.
What “5.5 hours” and “two days” of runtime actually mean
The current manual describes approximately 5.5 hours or more of continuous operation with a 100+ Ah battery at 8 feet of head. It also summarizes approximately two days at a 10% duty cycle with its recommended battery conditions. [1]
Continuous pumping and intermittent pumping are very different loads. At 10% duty, the pump runs for roughly six minutes in each hour. A basement that needs much more frequent pumping can use the available battery energy much sooner.
Treat those manufacturer examples as reference conditions. They do not tell you how long an older battery, a colder location or a basement with increasing stormwater inflow will last. Recharging also takes time: the manual says a completely drained battery can take up to 24 hours to recharge, depending on conditions. [1]
A meaningful plan combines the right pump, a compatible charged battery, realistic inflow assumptions and someone who can respond to a problem.
Calculator: how much pump-on time does your outage scenario require?
The interactive planner on this page converts a hypothetical or installer-validated backup-pump cycle into pumping demand. It does not predict battery life or tell you that your basement is protected. Method: duty cycle = on seconds ÷ (on + off seconds); pump-on demand = outage hours × duty cycle.
Start with: pump on 10 seconds, pump off 90 seconds, outage scenario 12 hours. That equals a 10% duty cycle, six pumping minutes per hour, and 1.2 hours of required pump-on time across the 12-hour scenario.
| Assumed backup-pump duty cycle | Pump-on time across a 12-hour scenario |
|---|---|
| 10% | 1.2 hours |
| 25% | 3 hours |
| 50% | 6 hours |
| 100% | 12 hours |
This estimates pumping demand, not battery life. Do not use your primary pump's cycle as a verified backup-pump cycle. Inflow and pump performance can change. The useful question for your installer is: “Can this pump and battery support this demand under my discharge and inflow conditions?” Do not take a published continuous-runtime number, divide it by the calculator's duty cycle and treat the result as a promised outage duration.
Water inflow can change during the same storm. Observed cycles describe that pump and those conditions, not every future outage.
Calculator: what could the installed system cost?
The kit price is only one line in the budget. A complete comparison should include the battery, installation, additional materials, delivery and any primary-pump work. Here is an editable starting example:
| Budget line | Example amount |
|---|---|
| Fit 508-0014 kit | CA$1,049.99 |
| Compatible battery — illustrative allowance | CA$350 |
| Additional plumbing/materials — illustrative allowance | CA$100 |
| Installation labour — illustrative allowance | CA$400 |
| Primary-pump replacement, if needed | CA$0 |
| Shipping/other quoted costs | CA$0 |
| Subtotal before tax | CA$1,899.99 |
Only the kit line reflects the dated retailer snapshot above. The battery, materials and labour figures are planning assumptions, not quotes or market averages. Replace them with your actual local quote. A zero for primary-pump replacement means it has not been included, not that replacement could never be necessary.
The calculator accepts an optional tax amount from your quote or checkout. It does not guess your province's tax treatment. Avoid counting the same battery, fittings or labour twice if the supplier offers a bundle.
This makes it easier to compare a standalone backup kit with a complete primary-and-backup package using equivalent included work.
Wi-Fi alerts are useful, but they need a working network
Fit's Z Control connection uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and internet access. The current manual describes a factory-default self-test every 24 hours, with configurable settings, and calls for periodic inspection and testing. [1]
The practical limitation is straightforward: powering the backup pump from its battery does not automatically keep your router, modem or internet service running. Remote alerts during a power outage depend on that network path staying available. Wi-Fi is not a cellular backup connection.
Local pumping and remote notifications are separate functions. Plan and verify both. If remote alerts matter when you travel, establish who will respond and what they can actually do if the system reports trouble.
For a broader look at monitoring options, see our Canadian smart sump-pump monitor guide.
Fit, installation and maintenance belong in the buying decision
Have the installer check the existing primary pump, basin space, float movement, discharge arrangement and battery location. The current manual contains layouts for different basins; it does not mean every basin of a named diameter has room for your particular plumbing.
This is an indoor clear-water sump backup system. It is not intended for sewage or effluent service. Use the applicable manufacturer instructions and qualified help for plumbing and electrical work. [1]
Plan for upkeep as well. The current manual calls for monthly battery/connection checks, inspection and testing at least every three months, and battery replacement every three years. Follow the instructions supplied with your actual kit and battery; automatic self-tests do not remove those responsibilities. [1]
Should you buy the Zoeller Aquanot Fit 508-0014?
Put the Zoeller Aquanot Fit 508-0014 on your shortlist if you want a dedicated DC backup pump for an existing primary-pump installation and value the Fit controller's self-testing and connected monitoring.
Before ordering, obtain three concrete answers:
- The pump fits the job: the installer has checked basin layout, expected inflow and discharge head.
- The battery fits the system: type, capacity, physical clearance and maintenance are confirmed.
- The price covers the job: the quote identifies the exact kit, battery, labour, additional materials and Canadian service arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Aquanot Fit 508-0014 include a battery?
No. It includes a battery case, but the battery is a separate purchase. A primary sump pump is also separate. Confirm the exact bundle if a retailer has added accessories. [1][3]
Does it supply backup electricity to my existing primary sump pump?
No. This kit uses its own 12-volt DC backup pump. It is different from a power station or inverter supplying AC electricity to an existing primary pump. [1]
Will it run through a two-day power outage?
That cannot be established from the outage length alone. Zoeller's two-day example assumes intermittent operation at about 10% duty under its reference battery conditions. Your inflow, discharge, battery and conditions determine the actual demand. [1]
Is the Amazon ASIN the same as the model number?
No. 508-0014 is the manufacturer model/part number; B07NYB8SJ4 identifies the matching Amazon.ca listing checked for this guide. Verify the actual seller's selected item and included components before ordering. [6]
