Confirmation: Can the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 run my Sewage exhaust pump?
Hello all:
I'm just getting into the market for potentially buying some type of power station (preferably with solar) to use as a very basic home backup system for when the power goes out occasionally.
I've kind of narrowed it down to the Jackery 1000V2, as it looks like Best Buy Canada currently has them on sale for what I think is a decent price ($799.00 for the one that comes with a solar panel).
My main concern during a power loss event is being able to occasionally run our sewage exhaust pump (kinda like a sump pump I guess) located in our basement. The pump is a "Liberty Pumps Pro 380" model, and it lists some of the specs on the unit (115V, 12Amp, and 4/10HP), with a 41 Gallon Basin. I don't really know much about power draw/requirements (just started looking into this stuff!), but from my little bit of research thus far, it looks like this pump would need about 1380watts while running, but would need closer to 2500watts surge/to start up initially? If that's correct, then the Jackery 1000 V2 SHOULD be able to power the pump, since it has 3000watts peak, correct? Since the pump only comes on for literally 5 seconds, maybe 2-3 times a day total (only needed when someone uses the shower/downstairs sink/toilet, and then only when the tank is full). Since it only turns on a few times a day for a few seconds per use, I'm assuming the Jackery would be fine powering it? If the power was out, the Jackery would only really be needed for the pump, and maybe a few other essentials like keeping our small fridge going, and maybe a couple lights/phone chargers when needed.
I've heard the included solar panels aren't the greatest with the Jackery, but since I would need very little actual power from the unit, I'm thinking the included panels would be sufficient even if the power was off for several days and I could easily spend an entire day charging the unit with the solar panels if needed.
