[RE-wrenches] Franklin Subdrive SolarPAK

[Ray Walters]

HI All;

Anyone have any experience with Franklin Electric's new Subdrive 
SolarPAK submersible pumps?
They're showing  1.5 and 3 Hp options.  Its a 3 phase motor powered by 
an above ground VSD type controller that allows for array direct 
pumping.  This particular project needs about 10,000 GPD at 200 ft of 
head, so the Grundfos isn't getting it.
AEE is carrying them now which is encouraging, as they don't stock fly 
by night BS.  Franklin is also a very respected name in pumping, and 
I've use their constant pressure controller with a submersible pump in 
the past with excellent results.  (a 1.5 hp pump that overloaded a VFX 3524)

Thanks in advance,
