None of the SQFlex equipment is UL listed. You may find that your AHJ
won't approve any of the SQFlex controls and possibly not even the pump.<br>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi Folks.....I am working on putting together a
domestic water pumping system using a grundfos 11 - SQF - 2. This system
will be connected to a standard pressure tank and cistern and have a solar
array providing primary power. However at night and on cloudy days we
would like the system to switch back over to AC power from the grid. I
know that the grundfos IO 101 switch box allows the pump to use an AC source
and when the AC source is removed it<u> automatically</u> switches back to DC.
What I am looking for is when the DC source (solar) is not available it <u>automatically</u>
switches over to AC power (grid) ( the reverse of what the IO 101 switch does)
and when the DC becomes available again it again <u>automatically</u>
switches back to the DC power (solar). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Has anyone done this? Any recommendations for
configuring this set up. We are looking to provide solar water pumping
during the day both when grid is present and when their is a power outage and
AC pumping at night or cloudy weather all without battery back up.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
