EcoFlow RIVER 3 vs Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus

“I have the EcoFlow River 3. It is great for running an LED light or two during a power outage. However, charging a couple phones and tablets knocked the battery down significantly. River was dead after second charging of all devices. I feel you will be greatly disappointed in its performance running those appliances on it.”

“The Jackery kit won't work, but not for the reason you stated. If you look at the technical specifications listed for the unit, it states that the AC outputs are 120V. You mentioned that the pump control box says it's 230V. So the Jackery kit won't be able to output the voltage to match what you need. You misunderstand how the breaker for you pump is set up/works. A double 20A breaker is designed to trip if the current passing through it exceeds 20A. Most US residential electrical services are split phase 240V supplies. That means you have 2 hot wires and a neutral wire entering your main electrical panel. The purpose of the double circuit breaker is to look at the current traveling though both hot wires to your 240V motor, and if one of them exceeds the breaker's rating (in this case 20A,) it disconnects power from both hot wires to the motor at the same time.”
