Rain Storms


Power goes out, power comes back on, power goes out, power comes back on, power goes out, power comes back on, power goes out, power comes back on..........................Its been doing that here most of the day. Yeah for battery backups!!!
Right now all i got running on my battery back up is the skimmer and main pump, to save battery when the power is out and when it comes back on it charges it back up some. Then it starts all over again.

Like i always say, if you dont like the weather in FL give it 4 hours it will change. Im using an APC battery backup. The battery will last about 30 minutes is the power goes off. The power yesterday was only going off for about 30 seconds at a time every few minutes so it worked out well.
