Submersible pump loads? [RE-wrenches]

[sunwise]

I'd look at the Grundfos SQ Flex, such as the 3SQF-2 which will run at
120vac.  I am just about to install one at an off-grid home that is in
the process of drilling a well as I type.  They are down 365 feet and
not a drop of water yet.

As this will be my first, I'd also appreciate any comments from those
who have used the SQ Flex.

Subject: Submersible pump loads? [RE-wrenches]

I know that there is no typical household (water use) and no typical
well
(head) and no typical pump (efficiency) but I am curious what off grid
wrenches are using for well pump loads in their load analysis?  Today's
project is a single person house with 400' head - looking at SQ with
240V
T-former...  I may even rig a little plug/cord so I can leave a $35
Kill-A-Watt meter there (rather than my fluke and an amp clamp) to get
some
averaged real data...  but here's hoping that some of you already have
this
info!
