[RE-wrenches] Sta-Rite Submersible Well Pump

[Jerry Shafer]

Brad
We have used the grundfus 120 volt MQ On demand Pressure pump and have had
no issues at all, uses very little power even when working hard, say a show
On demand water heater UV light and primary filters. the entire system is
drained to prevent freezing in the winters, it has been years with most of
these and no trouble
