    I was only going to keep my return pump running on the UPS. Should give me several hours to hold over the tank.

    Generator here. Big enough to run pumps and heaters. They can do without lights for a while.

    I'd be careful with UPS's because I don't think they'd give you very much run time. I recently was looking into this and it seems that a generator or a DIY car battery system would work best. Just food for thought.
