Best battery backup

[slipknotgrrl83]

So now that I have extra money I'm looking for opinions on the best ups battery backup for a reasonable price as I will need two....one for Internet and one for apex. And go!

APC is my top brand

I agree with APC...when you say control your apex i assume you also mean the EB8 along with your pumps?
UPS's are usually rated in Volt Amps and this needs to be considered if your running a return pump of say 100 watts and a 200 watt heater. You would need at least a 750 VA UPS to run just those two items plus the apex itself. An APC BR700G rated at 700VA at max load will only run about 3-4 minutes per specifications..and it's a $100.00

If you ran only the return pump at 100 watts your talking about 17 minutes of run time at 750VA

I basically just need enough time to alert me so I can hook up generator. Although keeping just return pump on would be nice as well....

I have had Apex backups and they are great! I'll bet they are the industry leader across the board. Happy Holidays! :)
