Bevo5 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Perfect timing at my house - just came back from being out of town and my ecotech battery backup is shot. blinking red/green - ecotech says it's busted. Can't get a new one before Saturday so I'm off to Home Depot to see about a propane generator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Well I was going to buy a generator for the tanks but Amazon [language filter] that one up........ I do have access to a few but wanted one strictly for the tanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Man - nobody really has generators left in stores here in portland. I found one - Generac 3250. I have no clue how to estimate running time but I figure my pumps only really use like 40-60watts each so this thing should power everything. It says it'll power for 12.5hrs at half load - with 4gallons. I wanted propane so I could just store a couple tanks but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is going back to the store Sunday afternoon while I wait for the cheaper versions to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Were you guys storm chasing? Friday night was when it was bad here. The drains were clogged at the end of our street and the street and part of my yard was flooding. Sirena and I were out in knee deep water trying to clear the drains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yeah the weather was horrible at my house also [emoji23] lost power three times! Luckily it wasn't for very long each time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
