I was lucky that my power stayed on. I know that some areas in south Langley were without for over eight hours! Paul ( Inspector on Canreef) had bought one of those power inverters from Canadian Tire...you leave them plugged in...when power goes out, you can run a powerhead for approx. eight hours before running out of a charge. The larger model could probably run a heater too if need be. Small investment for the life of a tank.
