[RE-wrenches] Sta-Rite Submersible Well Pump

[Bradley Bassett]

Dana,

For off grid you may not want to use the constant pressure pumps. They will
run a little bit, a lot of the time to keep the pressure constant. I think
it might be more efficient to use a pressure switch and regular pressure
tank. Anyone with experience in this?
