myster619 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I am looking for an air pump that runs on AC but switches to batteries automatically if there is a power outage and then switches back to AC if power comes back. Anyone know of any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I know off a battery back up system that would allow it to happen! The system runs off mains power and switches over when power goes off. What size pump do you need it to run?I don't know any commercial systems that are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myster619 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 You mean like a UPS system? I use an Eheim 400, uses about 6W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think the system I have would be over kill. I was running the Ehiem bucket filter and a hi-blow 60 on my system.yes it is a UPS set-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 UPS systems that are wired to use a deep cycle car battery gives piece of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I did a bit of a search for the one that I got from Matthew years ago. Here is the original thread to give you some ideas. http://www.aceforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=14112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
