Can/Will ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIver 2 Pro ( as seen on Amazon) Run Sump Pumps and Powerheads for at least 1 week? 6 Powerheads 40G. per, 3 sumps. TIA Thx

You would need to know what that equipment draws in watts. Don't forget to include the heater draw. I'd say once you know that just figure the bare minimum of what needs to be running.

Not enough info. I'm not familiar with this battery backup, but you should be able to rough guess how long it lasts if you know the power draw of the equipment. This unit most likely is labeled Wh (watt hour) or mah (milliamp hour). Use this to calculate how long the power will last. As a guess, unless this is a large battery backup, you won't last a week.

Note that this calculation doesn't take into account resistance and age considerations and therefore is a best case guesstimate.

Thx for the relies. Powerheads consists of 2 heads @ 2 at 14 min to 20 max wattage flow pump ( Hygger pumps) 1) RedSea Gyre (25 watts) 2 MP40 (45 watts per) 2 Simplicity 1600 Sump pumps (45 watts per) 1 Simplicity Sump Circulation DC pump ( 65 watts ) . Should/when power goes out, I will not attempt to add lights, Skimmers, or Heaters. Sump Pumps may not be necessary, but would like the option. Of the 4 AC outlet on Ecoflow Portable Power Station it claims 800 watts per outlet. If correctly calculated, the grand total of pump use would draw around 320 watts. Plz correct me if I'm wrong Thx again for your help

Here's a hypothetical example using Wh (watt hours). I'm going to assume the battery backup is 2000 Wh rated. If you're using 200 watts, the best the battery would last is 2000 Wh / 200 w = 10 hours. And that doesn't take into account resistance and changing watt draw as it drains down. It's a best case. Now if you're only using 20 watts, you'll get 100 hours out of the battery. Hope this helps.
