[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fyi battery backups don't last that long - only 6-8 hours. The water pressure system is more expensive, but can run indefinitely during a power outage. [/quote]That's not true at all. A typical one will be rated for 7 hours of run time. That's total run time. They typically run about 10 seconds at a time, until the basin fills up again. It can run for several days, if not a week at that rate. Water powered back-ups are a very bad idea and waste a LOT of water to run the pump. Can't be used with well water, obviously.[/quote]
