I think I solved the run time with my 2 box fans. Now I'm getting 10-11 hours, a. nd not just on two box fans either. This is what I did. The 1st cord was orange and black and at 100'. I really don't like loud noise, and that is why I put it at 100'. So the 2nd cord I use is just plain orange and it's only 50' and not only am I running two boxes fans, but charging all my devices that I can charge, plus running a notebook. What a differences in 50', but the it doesn't stop there, once that 50' cord gets inside the house I have another orange cord 50' hookup to a pig tail. Coming out of that pig tail I have 1 plug for just 1 box fan, 1 plug for my notebook, and 1 plug for another extension cord (50' orange) for either my TV or my tower fans that run at night. Now remember I'm a beginner in this world of generators, but I still have lots of questions. So if this is took long I'm sorry. Because or Elect Co informed us that we may be without power for 1 month now, I have to come up with a way to get back some more normal ways around the house. The only thing I'm actually missing that I need is my side by side Refrigerator/Freezer. I solved the problem about having my side by side not to produce any ice as I also don't have any water (well). So going by color (if possible) from the generator, what color cords do I need to run all of the above plus my refrigerator. According to Generac the size generator I have can't really run lights, TV, computer and refrigerator. So maybe if I get a 25' cord going from the generator into the house and then start braching off that might help (maybe).
THe type of generator I will get later is a generator to run the small items inside my house (lights, refrigerator, etc.) and have my Generac run my pump only. I'm going to have to build a little enclosure for it to run in the rain.
Again,
I thank you for helping me out in this.
