i recently bought a reflux still it requires a 120 volt water pump to run it so my problem is i have the pump i just cant figure out how to get power i cannot use a gas or diesel generator cause it is to loud moon shining is illegal so the generator will get me caught i need a way to power the 120 volt water pump quietly and i don't got a lot of money in my budget so i need a way to power it for under a hundred dollars
Your choices are limited. You can get a bunch of auto batteries and an inverter. How many batteries and the size of the inverter depends on the load of the pump, which you don't mention. Or a long extension cord.
You need a 12 volt to 120VAC inverter that can power the pump. If you can get your car near the still, you can hook the inverter to your car battery. You need to start the car every so often and recharge the battery. I hope you car engine is quiet enough. Might want to have a spare battery in case you run it down too low to start the car.
