    Battery backup questions

    I am looking into buying a UPS for my salt tank in event of a power outage, but I have no clue what brand, size or options I need to look for. I just want it to run my MAK 4 return pump, heater and maybe my powerheads.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    A good model is the APC UPS SU420NET. It will handle the return and a few power heads. Do even think about running MH lighting or chiller etc off of it.
