Portable Power Stations For Your Pond

[@sunitdixit]

Very useful information for pond owners. Recently we lost power for 3 days and my gas powered generator also died. I was extremely concerned about my Koi fish survival. Fortunately my Koi survived by manually stirring up my pond with a stick and pouring ice bags to the pond every 2 hrs to keep water cool. Your information is very valuable and I will definitely look into this battery back up power supply.

Since I am watching this video , and wanting to pick your brain on this , I have a 160 gallon pond fountain with two concrete bowls above which I turn on the pump to cascade into my tub, I am going on a 3 week vacation in September which is the longest ever for me, and it only has 7 comets about large in size, which our not expensive, and am wondering the best way to keep them fed while I am gone, I have a friend coming by maybe once or twice a week to check on my garden plants, and can leave him food out to feed the fish, is this good enough ? Kind off thought they could live off any bugs etc.. that May land in there , Checked out those automated vacation feeders on line, but then you have to worry about critters knocking them over, please advise me, Thanks

If your friend can feed them at least two times a week, that should be fine. I have used auto feeders in the past, mounting them to a post and securing the top down with a bungee chord. Did not have problems with the animals.

What if it's raining or snowing. Does this have to be under cover?

Good question. These power stations are very commonly used for camping, RV's, etc., but they are not waterproof. Some say water resistant, but still not good to leave out in the rain. They should be covered with a tarp, and kept up off of the ground so they don't sit in a puddle of water. There are covers designed for them as well. They are safe to use indoors, so there is no problem running them in a garage, shed, or even in your living room, and running an extension chord out to your pond equipment.
