VorTech Battery Back-Up - EcoTech Marine

Why does TSA recommend this?

For almost all people it is not if, but when the power will be lost to your tank. If you have EcoTech VorTech pumps you will get a lot of value out of the EcoTech Battery Backup module. It is one of the easiest battery backup solutions on the market, and once you piece together another battery backup configuration there is a ton of value in the EcoTech line and their battery backup

In an aquarium with no flow, fish and corals begin to die in as little as 4 to 10 hours. The VorTech Battery Backup is reef tank insurance in an aluminum housing. By adding the VorTech Battery Backup, your tank is insulated from power interruptions for up to 36 hours with the MP40w and up to 72 hours with the MP10 and MP20. The Battery Back-up is now compatible with the EcoTech Vectra Return Pump too (booster cable required).

Extreme weather can strike during any season, and we can’t always predict the outcome. In the event of a power outage, is your tank protected? By adding the an EcoTech Marine® Battery Backup, your tank’s flow will continue unaltered for up to 60 hours after the power goes out (30 hours for two pumps). Add a second battery backup to double the run time.

Without flow, fish and corals begin to die within 4 to 10 hours.
