<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We’re currently ordering 3
pump systems for West Africa and ended up using both Grundfos SQF and
Lorentz. We’ve had good luck with Grundfos in the past but our
needs in some cases exceeded what the SQF could pump so will be trying Lorentz
for the first time. I was hesitant after hearing some unfavorable things
about Lorentz but have been told that the latest versions have the problems
worked out. I’m afraid I don’t recall what the original problems
were supposed to be but I’m sure others on the list will contribute their
experiences. It will be interesting to see how both systems hold up in
the same environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

watering situation: Total Dynamic Head = 212 feet; 48.5 degrees north latitude;

per minute from a developed spring without drawing down the water level; 2300
gallons total water storage capacity (1700 gallon tank and 600 gallon
trough). Going to try to not use batteries. I think it can just
barely be done with the allowable flow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
