900W, 120V, 7.5 Amps Max, If smaller current draw, then yes, for a bit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes but it is a backup power supply with serge protection, it needs to stay plugged in to keep its charge, and has several plugins for multiple electrical powered devices. Nonetheless if you just wanted or needed a backup power for the pump it would work for that as well. APC makes several version of this and maybe one of the less expensive unite would fill your needs.

One potential issue is the inrush current draw for a motor can easily overload a BackUPS unit. BackUPS are ideal for computer equipment and may result in the erratic behavior when connected to a motor. To protect this type of equipment, APC recommends first determining the appropriate size UPS for the motor load in question and ensure the UPS is large enough to handle the start-up inrush current draw of the motor. Secondly, select a UPS which outputs a pure sine wave when on battery, such as a Smart-UPS.
