[RE-wrenches] Sta-Rite Submersible Well Pump

[Dana]

This is not a constant pressure pump & I am using 2 119 Gallon tanks to reduce the # of pump starts particularly in the winter.

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

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?

My well driller-well pump guy is offering Sta-Rite pumps manufactured by Pentair [as in Pentair water filtration they seem to be buying lots of water related companies]. 

I am curious as to feedback on these, has anyone used them?

Soft start, digital controls, easy programming, stainless steel, 3-year warranty, & includes a pressure transducer, so no pressure switch required. 

My pump guy says he has only had 1 issue on 1 pump in serval hundred installed. Almost sounds too good to believe.

A bit less $ retail than a Grundfoss but supposedly a whole lot more reliable.

A 1 HP motor 20 GPM pump draws 4.7 Amp/240 VA as it hits a 60 psi cutout [1,128 watts peak] though I will set to 30/50 psi.

 

Comments please…
