What size generator would i need to power my return from the sump and a power head or two? How do you calcualte this, is it as simple as adding up the watts you're using?

to just run a few pumps, you could get away with one of those coleman camping generators.

Put it this way, you can run an average sized house including AC with a 10,000 watt generator (probably not a cooking range, but everything else)
