Dovol Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hello all, I saw this very interesting product at a DIY Store yesterday. After chatting to their supplier, I realise that it is possible to use a power backup for our air pump & submerse pump to last around 3-4 hours in the event of a power failure. I wonder if anyone here who have a similar setup can post and share their views. I am trying to speak to the supplier for a better price therefore I will be pleased to know if there are any interested parties. Currently the power backup is selling at around S$1700. For more information, please visit http://www.ablerex-ups.com.sg/corporate.html#ms Cheers, Dovol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robe Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You can buy a computer UPS system for less money. APC Smart UPS 1000 VA will probably just around $1K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Robe, Are you using a APC1000? I wonder if you can share the length of backup time it can provide because I need around 3-4 hours. I understand from Ablerex that in order to have 3-4 hours of backup time, the size of the UPS and the number of internal batteries are important. I am usually outstation therefore having a UPS will be useful in any case of power failure. I seen this simple UPS from Ablerex which is also Ablerex 1000 selling at around $269, understanding from them that it can provide around 45-60mins of backup time. Don't think this will be sufficient for me. Pls share your setup cost and contact if possible. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
