i wanted to set up one of the pumps in my display to run on one of those battery backup things in case of a power outage. so when iwas looking at my boxs, it said my seio 620 used 8watts and the MJ900 used 9.5 watts. is that right? so i would assume its better to use the lower wattage one. but iwas just wondering if anyone happened to have one of those killowatt things and knew or if someone had either pump on that battery backup thing.

sorry, cant confirm the wattage, but i would agree with your assumptions

no idea on that one.. any1 wt inputs?

One thing that comes to mind is that my seio 1100 some times needs a little help to start after i unpluged for some reason, but I do not know if the happens with the 620..... But the difference between 8 and 9.5 should not be to big of a deal.

uhh well i dont think it takes much time to start up again
like it does shoot out some bubbles,but thats it. and of course more flow for less watts seems better to run in a black out
