A few years back, my sister put in a big natural gas powered back up generator, that can power her whole house. I think that cost around $10k- $12k. System is hooked to electric panel. Every few years we tend to have storms that knock the power out for a few days at a time.
I have a small gas powered generator that I used last summer when we had no power for close to a week. It is small (maybe 400k ) but can power fridge and some lights. It is a pain in the butt, in that you need to refill it with gas every 6 hours or so (and sometimes that can be a challenge when gas stations in the area lose power and many close down). I also had to run out and buy a whole bunch of long and heavy duty extension cords.
We had an electrician start to set up where we can hook that generator to our electric panel, to run a few things, but that was never completed and finalized. (Hey Jessie, its been 2-3 years, did that part come in yet?)
Not sure how this would impact pool, as our pool is still under construction (pool itself mostly complete, but electric and gas not hooked up to it yet, and has been delayed by the weather this month. Masonry waiting until spring/summer.)
