2500 watt inverter and well pump [RE-wrenches]

[Greg Egan]

John,

Have you thought of selling him a Staber and a new inverter? His pump will run
half as much or less than it does to fill his top loader. The Staber's peak amps
were recorded by Bob-O in a 1995 TTW! article to be 9.5 with a 16 lb load. They
actually use less water now than they did then, so less power. I would lean
toward an FX2024 and a Staber over a 4024.
My 2 cents...
