The front page is the build. This page is the watts. A four-foot tub needs an air pump and a light. It does not need a whole-house generator.
A small air pump is a few watts. An LED for a short canopy is tens of watts, not a space heater. Together they are a light-and-charge load.
A furnace start or a well pump on the same small unit will stall it. Pick the tub or the furnace, not both. Furnace math:

12-volt lights and phones, not heat:

Roots in deep water culture need air. No bubbles, roots suffer within hours. Check the stone before you blame the nutrients.

Can a small DIY unit run the tub?
Often the pump and a modest light, if you already measured those watts. Not the fridge as well.
