Hey all,
I know a number of folks have used computer UPSs as battery backups for their ecotech mp10s. Any idea how long they last? I know that a 1500VA battery will only get you 3 hours of running a PC... how long are your mp10s running?
I wish I could use an ecotech made backup... but it apparently automatically puts your pumps in 50% mode.... my mp10 sits in a 4.5 gallon display... it is turned down to the lowest setting. If I lost power with that hooked up I wouldn’t have water in my tank by the time the power kicked back on. Looking into to other options as a result.
