I'm not familiar with a UPS, what's that?
Uninterrupted Power Supply

A UPS is used on a computer to provide backup power when the electricity goes out. It also acts as a AC conditioner. Some are rated 'larger' than others. Depending on which one you get, it can keep a powerhead (like a MaxiJet) going until power gets restored. You can buy them anywhere computers are sold....Best Buy, CompUSA, Altex. I believe there is still a Altex down on SPID Drive in Corpus. I would check there first.

If you do decide to get one, buy the largest one you can afford.
