This discharge line can sometimes become frozen or clogged, so Woods installed IceGuard. IceGuard provides an escape route so water does not back up into the basement in case of a clogged discharge line.

The TripleSafe contains two high-powered, cast-iron pumps and a battery back up pump to ensure that even in severe weather conditions or power outages, unwanted water is being pumped out and away from the basement and the basement remains dry.
