[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 983859, member: 60724"] We have public water and it is fed from a water tower so I suspect pressure wouldn't be an issue in an outage...never has been in 14 years, always water even when no phones, cable, or electricity. However, I still probably will stick with the battery backup. Sure, water powered has the advantage of outlasting a batter, but at the disadvantage of requiring a more complicated installation, one that might not work for everyone. The way I look at the battery backup is that it doesn't have to outlast the outtage, but instead the period of time between the outtage and when the homeowner can deal with and remedy a multi-day outtage (which is very rare). A portable generator works in those very rare cases. TJR [/QUOTE]
