Pump issue

hey all,

where i live we've run into a problem with the electricity going out in our neighborhood. this isn't so bad for the lights and fans as the power only stays off for a couple hours at most. my fear is the pump for a dwc not bubbling and something happening to the plant. maybe this isn't a big deal for a two hour period but i was curious if there are big batteries that have ac outlets? or pumps that have the capability of running on batteries when the power goes out.

thanks in advance!

There are pumps for the aquarium industry that plug into a regular socket and when the power goes out they turn on the battery powered air pump.

Should last a long while as it runs on 2 "d" batteries

perfect. you're awesome, thank you!

keepin it real for tejas

i have my mother in a gh waterfam and my power recently went out for 2 days... i was so tripping b/c i had heard that 12 hours and the plant would be dead, i had no such problems though, i just took out the top bucket a couple of times and allowed the roots that have grown through to get a little air... all was good when the power came back on...

i really wouldn't worry too much about it if i were you, i was worrying like hell but all was fine... i even had 15 clones in my ez cloner and all but 3 of them pulled through and are starting to grow roots, i figured these were goners for sure, weed is an amazing plant, never ceases to amaze me...
