Pressure powered impeller system and related method of use

A method of supplying electricity to a furnace in the event of a power outage during below freezing temperatures through a system, the method comprising the steps of:

• allowing water to flow normally through a water supply line during normal receipt of power from an electric grid;
• determining whether a power outage has occurred;
• opening a solenoid valve in response to when the power outage has occurred, wherein the solenoid valve is positioned between an inlet and a first conduit;
• engaging water within a generator which is in communication with the first conduit to generate electricity;
• directing water into a second conduit from the generator;
• and
• returning water to the water supply line through an outlet in communication with the second conduit;
• wherein the water supply line is configured to flow water therethrough from the inlet to the outlet when the valve is closed.

A system configured to determine if a power outage occurs, the system comprising:

• an inlet which draws water from a water supply line;
• a solenoid valve positioned proximate the inlet configured to open in response to when the system determines that a power outage has occurred;
• a generator having an impeller which receives water from the inlet when the solenoid valve is open and generates electricity;
• an outlet to return water used by the generator to the water supply line;
• a battery which stores power created by the generator for later supply to a furnace;
• wherein the water supply line is configured to flow water therethrough from the inlet to the outlet when the solenoid valve is closed.
