Wow! Mr. Rose! That is some great info!
Thanks MC!
I just hope it inspires somebody or helps them solve an issue. For Deep Water Culture I think a UPS is a smart investment especially if you can find them used for cheap on craigslist etc and don't have to pay shipping. Not having to worry about utility power is just one more thing to make your life simpler.
I drove home from work yesterday in an awful Midwest storm that generated tornadoes and high winds with lots of rain. I saw two or three roads washed out pretty quickly and I was just wondering if my power was still on.
First chance I get to pick up another UPS I will be grabbing one for my own Deep Water Culture grow!
One day I'd love to have a small battery cabinet for the entire house just to deal with brown-outs and to have the ability to attach solar panels to the house when they finally get the high efficiency units on the market that we have all been waiting on for years.
