Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

VB, I have a $99 GMC generator that I have successfully ran 600 watt angle grinders under full load and a vacuum cleaner off. I am confident that it would run my entire system if the power goes out (and I'm homer to stoke it up!) It's rated at 850 Watts.

Interested to hear more re: Murrays device.

Found it:



That is very good value Murray. I know elsewhere you can expect to pay significantly more than $100.

VB, GMC make them in 850W 950W and 2300W

The $99 bunnings one is the 850W. Even on start up the fridge won't take any where near that

And for $99 with a 2 year warranty? I'll swap my UPS for it

And at 850W (800W cont.) it will run 3 submercible pumps (at 260W ea)

For some reason I thought they weren't up to that sort of thing. Some bunnings bloke told me when I inquired one day. Thought it was strange when I looked at my fridge and saw it drew way less than what the gen was rated at.

once again, the sales people strike............... atleast this time it was telling you it couldn't do something that it could
