Powers knocked out!

Our power was out for about 45 min last night and 3 or so hours on Monday night.

I have a generator I got from Costco a few years ago for $300 and it works great, I can run the tank and half the house.

Lol I have an electric hot water tank but I have a gas range!!

At least you can still heat up the water on the stove.

We have power outages here in the Koots from time to time. I don't worry about my tank too much, until the power comes back on. Then it's go time to make sure my overflow is going to work properly.

For those that uses battery backups, what unit do you use?I am looking to get a decent one without having to pay an arm and a leg for it. Heard good things about the Motomaster 600A power booster but want to see what other ones are available out there, esp a unit that can kick in instantly when I am not at home.
