With all the talk about blackouts and poweroutages someone from saltwaterfish.com recommended this guy (category 5)http://www.aquatichouse.com/Pumps_files/hurricaneairpumps.asp
because it has a rechargable battery and some otehr specs that are pretty cool.

barebucta, interesting features on that category 5. I like the D cell slots for use when the NiCd battery dies.

I still like the "Fry UPS Mod" I am going to mod as soon as I am able to.

Chief, the operative words in your post are "as soon as I am able to". Invariably you're able to AFTER the blackout occurs. For instance, the prediction is for lots of thunderstorms over the next few days. Have you had the time yet? I agree, a better 'system' is needed than the Hurricane pump. However, it is a no brainer for ease of setup.

That's cool. Most of the time when people say, I'll get to it, they never get to it :biggrin:

Nope now I just wish I could get a house and install a guardian generator to power the whole house so I have NO worries if the power goes out.

I bought one of the UPS/USP contraptions that you connect to a battery. However, I'm still looking for a marine battery to complete the setup.
