banditpowdercoat is on a distinguished road

I have a UPS on my tank, and its a crap shoot on whether it will fire the pump or not. Alot of UPS' make square wave AC. This doesnt harm computer power supplies, but sometimes makes a Submersable pumo just occilate and not turn in one direction. Ive tried it with both my Quiet One 3000, and Mag 350. Hopefully, when power does go out, it'll acctually start the pump
