Not what you want to see when the power comes back on.

The 500w heater has had a workout since the Apex woke up and warned me.

I had that happen a few weeks ago but I was on vacation 7 hours away. Talk about heartbroken. I hope it's all ok.

I bought a generator this week just to keep my tanks alive in case of an outage. I figure heater and circ pump is all I would need to run.

That's just too much to bare, I don't know how you can do that.
I have a controller and it's given me so much peace of mind.
It has to be the best investment ever.

Noles and I both have apex. So the alarm functions are great but when something goes wrong someone has to be there to fix it and also able to fix it.

Without power I have used my car inverter that is for my laptop when I travel with an extension cord and ran my heater and a circ pump from my car.

Good luck guys.

Seems like everything is going to make it. After I fix the flood damage, next big purchase will have to be a whole house generator. Dream big, right?
