Backup Pump

[RaymondL]

Hi everyone: we all know how important flow is, so I'm wondering how many have a back up pump or wavemaker as spares and on standby?

It can be costly, but it's insurance after all.

I have backup pumps and wavemakers. But these aren't from the expensive brands.

I keep at least one of each.

Thanks. Yeah...doesn't make sense to buy premium spare on standby parts. I am going to source out low cost items. Hope they work when and if the time comes!

I keep one back up pump. And a battery powered air bubble in case of a power outage.

I'm a backup fanatic and have backups for most of my equipement. I not only have a backup for my return pump (a MAG 9.5) to replace my Waveline pump (no longer made) but it's plumbed, all ready to go. Within a minute or two I can be up and running again.

I also have backup heaters. Be prepared!

Thanks all for the input. I'm wondering if I should get a back up light. Hmm...
