I am thinking about buying a UPS for power outages. Has anybody done this? I am curious as to how long it would run If I am just powering the essentials.
trotty said:i use a car battery and a 12volt/240volt converter on only the filter. i've never had a power out for more than 8 hours and it did it fine on 4 tanks. total power of the filters was about 110 watts..... I only have a 300watt converter.(I did try a 300watt heater and it cut out...)
I thought if worst came to worst i could always swap the battery in the car and just go for a drive to recharge.
