that is NOT true...

my pump easily keeps up, but when the power goes out, its a run up a
flight of stairs and out the door with a bucket full of water every few
minutes,,, its not that easy to do for hours at a time...

after doing that twice, I got a big inverter and a car battery for
short term and a small generator for long term outages......... so now
since I am ready, I have never needed them...

BTW ..... DO NOT EVER run a generator indoors... EVER...

Bigger bucket. Good exercise. What else do you have to do in the dark
anyway?
