<p class=MsoNormal>Looking for advice on the following pump. Lorentz
PS600-HR04H-1-48B with power pack option and controller. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I will be doing an off-grid system for a homeowner who
already who had purchased this pump, in fact it is down the well already,
although not working, or even wired to anything yet. The dealer who sold
her this pump is no longer working this job. That dealer did not install anything
else. So, we have a clean slate except for this pump.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Homeowner is willing to go with another pump if I’m
not satisfied of this pumps quality, suitability for her home and reliability. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have never used a Lorentz pump before. I do recall some
mixed reviews over the years on this list on Lorentz pumps. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Typically for a home like this (modest water needs) I would
install a Grundfos SQ AC pump with a standard pressure tank and run it off the
inverter. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We could do a 48 volt battery bank for this home, so we
could do the Lorentz pump. This pump is designed to be powered with 48VDC
nominal correct?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is it a reliable pump? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Or will it be more trouble than the AC Grundfos?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
