Default Power supply issue for fresh and salt water tanks

wrote:

Anyway, not to bore anyone, during the summer months we have monsoon storms
that have a nasty tendency to knock out the power. The freshwater has
handled this OK in the past, but she is concerned about the sal****er tank
(which is new) and, although it has handled it OK in the past, she does
stress about the freshwater tank.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding a backup power supply for these
tanks for those times when the power goes off?


You might consider a UPS if your power outages are fairly short. Most of the
small ones die after an hour or so, but s larger one might work longer -
you'd have to do some research.
