    I tried CyberPower 1500AVR and APC ES725 and when I unplug power cord from the wall outlet, filter is making bad noise and outflow is dropping to 0.
    Is there any UPS that will work with Rena filter?

    You will want something with a true sine wave and these kind of UPS are not cheap.

    Reason is the output isn't a pretty sin wave anymore, it's rebuilt by transistors, so it's blocky/choppy.

    You'd need to smooth it out or get a new one that's better.

    I would *guess* an LC (capacitor, inductor) filter could help smooth it out, but you're getting into electrical engineering + electrician type work around water.
