[Dana]

I would call Brian Teitelbaum (forgive my spelling Brian) at AEE for pump advice, @ 805.242.7856 He helped me look at my options a while back.

Thanks everyone for the feedback - as always the best source of hands on info anywhere!

So as I understand it, the 2 basic choices are the SQ,SQE line or the SQFlex line.
Advantages of the SQE are:
* cheaper
* Constant pressure
Advantages of the SQFlex are:
* More efficient (how much?)
* Can run on AC or DC

Both are soft start, and both can run without the controller.  No controller looses the display readout and a couple other smaller bells and whistles, but otherwise no operational change.  I haven't be able to determine the difference between the SQ & SQE lines.  Are there any durability differences between the SQ, SQE, and SQF lines?
