An Uninterruptible Power Supply is a device that sits between a power supply (e.g. a wall outlet) and a device (e.g. a computer) to prevent undesired features of the power source (outages, sags, surges, bad harmonics, etc.) from the supply from adversely affecting the performance of the device.

Thanks Msdayspa
Do you think this is a must have item in opening a new salon or will everything be okay with out this item ?

I'm confused - why would you need 125 of them?? I have one - just for my computer so it doesn't freak out if there is a power outage and hose the database.

I can't see why you would need them for your beds. The purpose of them, to my understanding, is what JK said. They are designed to maintain power to computer systems to protect your system during power outages. We have them on all computers but that is all. This is one expense you can do without! Good Luck!

I think what were talking about here is a buck Booster which acts like or is actualy a ups of sorts for tanning beds. ck out this link for more info

From what Im told the line current needs to be tested at your location before deciding upon a solution ie buck booster. Hope that helps
