IceCap Battery Backup v3 for Aquarium Pumps IC-BTBK3

$169.99

Keeps your pumps running during a power outage

Power outages will happen every now and then, and unless your system has a generator as a backup, the next best thing is a battery backup for your powerheads.  After a power outage, within as little as 2 hours dissolved oxygen levels can start to deplete, which can quickly result in a loss of your valued fish and corals.  By keeping water moving and encouraging gas exchange at the surface of the aquarium, days can go by without needing to worry about depleting oxygen levels in the tank.  With the IceCap Battery Backup, you can rest easy knowing even if you’re not home when the power goes out, the battery backup will turn on automatically and keep your pumps running. 

The IceCap Battery backup system is compatible with most 12-24 volt DC powered pumps, most notably the MaxSpect Gyre and IceCap Gyre pumps, as well as the Reef Octopus Octo Pulse and VarioS pumps.
