MiniChlor 110 Hot Tub and Spa Saltwater System Chlorine Generator, A Natural Chlorinator
The MiniChlor will naturally purify spa water using the electrolysis process on salt that is added to the spa water, eliminating the need to manually add chlorine. The MiniChlor operates on a low 2000 PPM salt lever, about 1.5 pounds per 100 gallons of water or only 5.5% the salt level of the ocean. Because the MiniCHlor works 24 hours per day your spa will always be adequately sanitized. In a spa with the hot water the chlorine can dissipate in a couple hours, so it is important to be able to make chlorine 24 hours per day. The MiniChlor doesn't have a solar panel power supply because there would not be any chlorine in your spa when you want to use it, assuming that isn't at the hottest part of the day. A spa isn't like a pool with a large reserve of residual chlorine, in order to be properly sanitized a spa chlorine must be added every couple hours which is what the MiniChlor does while only drawing 6 watts of power (about the same as a night light). The MiniChlor has no buttons, no moving parts, and is very easy to install. The MiniChlor system works as a convection cell that produces sanitizer (either chlorine or bromine) with a micro-bubble action that causes water to enter the bottom part of the cell as the bubbles leave the top. The MiniChlor includes 6 levels of chlorine production, salt level indicator lights and automatic cleaning of the titanium plates. The standard MiniChlor will sanitize any portable spa or hot tub up to 600 gallons. It can be a challenge to to keep the water in your spa or hot tub crystal clear and smelling nice. If you forget to add chlorine or bromine for a single day or the chlorine feeder runs out that could lead to spa problems. Due to the higher temperature of the water the chemical balance is critical to be continuously maintained to keep it safe. Proper spa maintenance leads to your spa being safe when you want to use it.

I got tired of balancing the chemicals and tired of having to shower off the bromine or chlorine smell after each use. The salt water sanitation method in conjunction with this device has brought the joy of my hot tub back. I started using it in October of '11, it is now March of '12 and I've had to do very little to maintain the water in the tub. Granted, it gets light use, maybe twice a week for an hour each, but still it is far less effort and far greater effect than any other sanitation regimen that I've tried.I wish the interface of blinking lights was a little clearer. The manual does not do a very good job of explaining the how to read the lights to figure out what mode it is running in. It took about two weeks of to finally "grok" it. I've started to recommend this device to other spa owners that I know. See all 1 customer reviews...
GudCraft WG400 400 Watt 12-Volt 6-Blade Wind Generator With Charge Controller
WG400 GudCraft 400W Wind Generator is a low wind speed, small-size wind generator with starting speed just 5mph or more.
Amazon Sales Rank: #36530 in Lawn & Patio Brand: GudCraft Model: WG400 12V Low wind speed model. This model starts producing the wind energy just from 5 mph wind. This is the latest design with 6 blades. Comes with wind charge controller, instruction manual and 1-year warranty from the purchase date.
Most helpful customer reviews 48 of 49 people found the following review helpful. Buggy but not its fault By brownieman The wind generator actually works well. The instructions are a bit fuzzy, for example, "the straight edge of the blade should be to the right when fixed to the hub." Sure it sounds simple enough, but what if you are on the left of the hub? The blades are not straight, they are contoured, so what the hell? I just put it together like I designed it and it has worked fine. I'm guess just a common sense approach to the assembly works best.The charge controller also clicks. I had to contact customer service to confirm this, but a note in the instructions would have been nice to quell my fears of burning the house down when my wife called me to say the controller was clicking.All in all it is a good product. The last tip is to be sure you're able to mount the turbine high enough to make it worth your while. If you can get it 40 plus feet you should be fine. See all 1 customer reviews...

Do you need a clean, quiet, reliable power source for automotive, remote site, industrial, commercial or residential applications? Tripp Lite's APS3636VR Inverter/Charger is the solution you seek! This DC-to-AC inverter/charger powers the equipment you commonly use at home or work—power tools, pumps, portable lighting, notebook computers and more. It's the ideal power solution for RVs, commercial and fleet vehicles, emergency vehicles, construction sites, remote worksites and any other application that requires a clean, quiet AC power source. The APS3636VR efficiently converts DC (battery) power into 120V AC (household) power to run any type of equipment, from power tools to computers. Unlike portable generators, the APS3636VR requires no fuel and produces no noise or fumes. The APS3636VR also features automatic line-to-battery transfer and an integrated battery charging system for UPS (uninterruptible power supply) applications where an AC power source is present. In UPS mode, the APS3636VR powers connected equipment while keeping connected batteries fully charged. If AC power becomes unavailable, the APS3636VR automatically switches to battery power. Built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) protects batteries and connected equipment from damage due to voltage fluctuations. With its 3600-watt capacity, this inverter/charger can handle heavy-duty loads like drills, saws and pumps with ease. The APS3636VR also features OverPower™ and DoubleBoost™ capability, providing extra power when required for heavy loads and power-hungry equipment start-ups. Feature Focus Tripp Lite's APS3636VR Inverter/Charger Offers: Computer-grade AC power from an AC or DC power source 3600 watts continuous output power; up to 7200 watts peak power Auto transfer switching option for battery backup (UPS) operation Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR protection) 1-year warranty Portable Power Whenever You Need itClick here for a larger image Industrial-Strength Output PowerClick here for a larger image Simple Installation and Equipment ConnectionClick here for a larger image Industrial-Strength Output Power The APS3636VR efficiently converts 36V DC power from a vehicle battery into 120V AC power for any type of equipment, from heavy-duty drills, saws and pumps to computers and sensitive monitoring equipment. The APS3636VR provides safe, stable, AC output power to help connected equipment perform at its peak. A frequency control feature ensures that devices dependent on tightly regulated AC line frequency, such as computers, VCRs and DVD/CD players, receive clean computer-grade power. Extended Peak Surge Power Many tools, appliances and printers require extra power for start-up. Others, such as refrigerators and pumps, have fluctuating power demands. When operating in inverter mode, the APS3636VR accommodates these peak surge demands by providing up to 200% more output power than its continuous rating of 3600 watts. In OverPower mode, the APS3636VR can deliver 5400 watts for up to an hour, providing ample reserve power to keep tools and equipment running longer. In DoubleBoost mode, it can deliver 7200 watts for up to 10 seconds to support power-hungry equipment start-ups and motor cycling requirements. When connected to an AC power source, the APS3636VR can provide up to 3600 watts continuous power. Auto-Transfer Switching for UPS Operation When the APS3636VR is connected to an AC power source, power is passed through to connected equipment and the battery set is charged via a three-stage, 30-amp charging system with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types. In the event of a power failure or severe voltage fluctuation, the APS3636VR responds with a near-instantaneous (16.6 millisecond) automatic transfer to battery power. Any number of user-supplied batteries may be connected to the APS3636VR to provide extended battery backup support for critical equipment. A three-position switch enables you to select AUTO mode for automatic transfer between utility and battery power, CHARGE-ONLY mode to maintain a full battery charge with no automatic transfer switching when the APS3636VR is connected to AC power, or SYSTEM OFF mode. Automatic Voltage Regulation The APS3636VR features built-in automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct AC brownouts as low as 75V and overvoltages up to 145V without consuming battery power. AVR operates in both UPS standby mode and battery charge mode, protecting connected equipment and batteries from damage due to voltage fluctuations. Diagnostic LEDs The APS3636VR features six front-panel diagnostic LEDs to indicate load level (high, medium and low), battery charge (high, medium and low), shutdown status and system fault status. Overload Protection To prevent damage to the inverter and connected equipment, the APS3636VR will shut down automatically if an overload is detected at the AC output connection. The red Load Level Indicator LED will flash to alert you that an overload has occurred. Additional overload protection is provided by a 25-amp AC input circuit breaker, a 30-amp AC output circuit breaker, and a built-in multi-speed cooling fan. Heavy-Duty Construction The APS3636VR features a rugged, moisture-resistant polycarbonate housing that withstands vibration, impact and high-humidity environments—ideal for use at remote worksites, in trucks, RVs and other vehicles, on boats or anywhere that reliable AC power is needed. Simple Installation and Equipment Connection The APS3636VR features integral mounting slots for permanent installation on any rigid, horizontal surface, such as the bed of a pickup truck. Connecting the APS3636VR to your battery system is quick and easy with readily available user-supplied cables. A grounding lug on the side of the unit connects the inverter/charger to earth ground or vehicle grounding system. AC input power and AC output power for connected equipment is provided via a hardwire junction box on the front of the unit. A load-sensing control dial enables the load threshold to be adjusted to automatically turn the inverter on and off in DC mode as load conditions change. Four configuration dip switches support wet/gel battery charging profiles, adjustable 135/145V high voltage auto transfer during overvoltages and selectable 75/85/95/105V AC low voltage auto transfer during brownouts. A second set of four configuration dip switches support four levels of charger limiting relative to output load size, a battery equalization program and battery charger low/high settings. Optional Remote Control Capability The APS3636VR is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection of an included Remote Control LED/Switch Module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4), enabling you to control and monitor the inverter/charger from virtually anywhere within a vehicle. Peace of Mind The APS3636VR comes with a 1-year product warranty and a rapid-response repair/replacement policy that's unmatched in the industry. Also Available Tripp Lite manufactures a full line of power and connectivity solutions—UPS systems, power distribution units, surge suppressors, cables and connectivity solutions, rack enclosures and more—for every application, from the desktop to the datacenter.

Most helpful customer reviews 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great backup By Arturas Grazulis I used it to create back-up for my basement sump pumps (3 pumps with 30Amps total power). Connected with 3 110 Ah Farm and fleet deep cycle batteries. Works perfectly and able to handle full load for significant amount of time. Consider connecting basement freezers and refrigerators to it as well and probably servers. Why to pay for useless 12 V backup pumps (they handle max 2000gal/h each), when you can connect your regular pumps through this charger/converter. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The better back up power for my home By Olwing Ponce Garay I installed 2 of this beautiful machines on my home and i'm very satisfied in power outage may works for more than 24 hours if i use only lights, surely you need more batteries for make it work for that amount of time i have 9 batteries of 80 amps for each inverter and works smoothly, i highly recommend this product since it protect all things of low voltage andd over voltage, i have mines since 2 years and never fails, only bad thing is that some appliance articles like satellite receivers, motion detection lamps and some desktop pc sometimes turns off because the 20ms transfer time is not enough for this devices, but 98% of my devices connected works like a charm. and the remote control let you see how the battery is draining, usually i see my lcd tv for 3 hours before battery gets the 70% of 100%, and the tv is connected with satellite receiver,dvd,sound system, and lights of home, so i think this is a very useful inverter for any appliances on home.even i'm able to use microwave oven since it supports 3,600 watts continous, so it mean 6 KVA. hardwire is relly required for batteries specially.
