Are you ready if and when the power grid goes down? Will you have running water available if you're on a well pump? Well, here's my setup and I hope it helps anyone willing to take on this project.

I didn't want to risk it with a cheaper cost square wave inverter. The AC pumps run much harder with the square wave inverters, and you can hear the annoying buzzing.
