How long can this battery run this pump?

Hey guys, I'm as stupid as it comes when it comes to electronics...

Anyway, with Irma heading this way I got a new battery+inverter, and I'm looking to confirm some information.

Here is my battery https://www.google.com/search?q=12v...&ved=0ahUKEwiB6cDD8ZHWAhUB7yYKHd9DCtcQgjYI5wQ

And here is my pump

Incase the link doesn't work, the battery is a Duracell deep cycle ATM SLA 12V 35AH. The pump is a Ph2500 return pump.

My question is how long, with the battery fully charged, can it run the pump? It will be the only thing running off of the battery.

If I did the math correctly, the pump will use about .4 AH... so 87ish hours? That seems crazy to me... But, assuming I did the math correctly, it will last a few days, lol...

Yea I wasn't even going to attempt the math. The guy at the store said that there's 2 of these in the electric wheel chairs that people use. He said it would probably be able to run the pump for at least a day, but I thought that was an underestimate.

I live in an apartment and can't use a generator..so I instructed my gf to turn this on for the pump every other hour, and I'll have a battery operated bubbler going 24/7. She'll also be able to charge her phone or whatever she needs on it. I'm a cop and the storm looks like it will have much more of an impact on the east coast..im preparing to be deployed over there in the coming days.. but we'll see. Thanks for your input
