Power outage North Calgary

[ImprezaSTi]

Anyone know how long outage in Panorama lasted? Just noticed my tank is 2 degrees lower than usual.

I think it was off and on, just in the morning. I am in coventry, and my tank appears to be normal (my parents are in panorama, they told me).

I'm in Country Hills and my power was off for 54 minutes 12 seconds according to my Aquatronica controller. No problems with the tanks, the Noma backup power units kept the main pumps running just fine. Temperatures were not significantly lowered afterward even though the heaters are not on the backup supplies.

Hi Ed, the power back ups that you have, did you get them at crappy tire? You are happy with them? I am starting to think they might be worth the money. If the power went out and something went wrong, I wouldnt find out till I get home at 6:00!

Yes they are the CT ones, they seem to work very well. I went with the smaller size ones so I only run the return pumps on them and nothing else. They ran for nearly an hour yesterday and were showing about 60% power remaining. I checked them about 10 minutes into the outage and they were all ready down to that value and then did not drop further until the power was back on. When I first got them, I calculated that they should run my pumps for about four hours. Hopefully I never need more time than that. So far this was by far the longest outage I've needed them to cover.

I seen on the website the 400W ones are about $200, is that similar to yours?

That would be the same one. I got them on sale for less than that. Might pay to be patient as they seem to always have sales at CT.
