[RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[Chris Sparadeo]

Hi Bill,

I have yet to have an issue with the Sol Ark 12K and water pumps. We have
numerous off-grid installations with 3/4 HP well pumps with no issues. I
tend to find that compressors and inductive motor loads like chop saws are
often an issue.

Hope this helps,

Chris
