wcoast Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 A friend lost all (about 100) his beautiful fish when a blackout occurred and the oxygen pump stopped working. I'm looking for a backup power supply similar to a PC uninterruptible power supply. Of course it doesn't need to be as powerfull as it is only running a small pump. Suggestions to where I can find in Bangkok gratefully accepted and appreciated. I'm in Saphan Khwai area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 A PC UPS is exactly what you need, with a small pump load even a cheap one should give you several hours of happy air pumping and happy fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 ... or a different suggestion. Why not have a small cylinder filled with air for just that occasion? Cheaper? Just a thought as a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought as a back-up. the small ones with 2 large batteries only cost 230 baht, but you would need to be home to add or switch it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same place the big ones for the outdoor ponds cost just over 5,000 baht each, still a lot cheaper then a Fish dying [have over 200 fish costing from 3k to 10 +k each] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
