Return pump battery back-up duration time

[lovetoreef]

I am looking at utilizing the M1 and L1 on a new system ... do you guys have an idea of what we can expect as far as run time with the battery back-up system? Thanks.

lovetoreef,

The battery life will be significantly less then that of a VorTech. With that in mind, battery life will depend on the amount of head pressure the pump has to overcome. For best flow rates, not exceeding 2-3 feet worth of head is best.

Thanks Alex for the fast reply - assuming a head pressure of 3 feet, are we looking at something like 5-10 minutes?

What's the difference between the L1 and M1?

It will be significantly longer then 5-10 minutes assuming you have a new Battery Backup with an M1 at 3 feet of head. We will also be releasing a Battery Booster shortly that will aid in run time.
