So my tank is going on 9hrs with NO POWER! L.I.P.A. SUCKS! This is the second time this week. First time was only 4hrs, but that's when I found out my generator took a crap (dry rotted fuel line). Haven't had time to change it and here we go, round two. Barely slept last night. Been awake worrying and moving the water in my tank around (scoop and dump). Lipa offices are closed, nobody has been on site for repairs since 10:30pm. Auto parts store doesn't open til 9am, Home Depot at 8am (for a power inverter for my car). Stuck here stressed and bored.This sucks.

Thanks to Fishman1069 for the inverter that got me up and running! At least to run my return pump and powerheads. Hopefully, everybody will be okay. Now...off to fix that pesky generator!
**Lesson learned here...have a back-up for your back-up. And keep back-up equipment maintained properly!

Get emergency battery operated air pumps for the DT and the sump in the meantime. Two D size battery easily run you a day or two.
