Even if you get it fixed it\u2019s still got 10yr parts in it elsewhere that will have to probably be replaced soon too. Have you looked into the Grundfos SQF series? They are really nice, run off AC or DC but are kind of limited to their flow rate at the range I think the best you could get would be 12 gpm. That way he could run the pump during the day off solar direct and then switch it over to AC for evening pumping and cut down usage on his house system.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Andrew Perkins<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Greenwired<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>P: 707-923-2001 ext. 100<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>1150 #1 Evergreen Rd<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Redway, CA 95560<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>www.greenwired.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><img width=170 height=50 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image001.png@01D4FB4C.463917A0" alt="Description: signature"></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> RE-wrenches [mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Amos Post<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, April 25, 2019 9:22 AM<br><b>To:</b> RE-wrenches<br><b>Subject:</b> [RE-wrenches] Fwd: Well Pump Sizing<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>I have an off-grid customer who is having problems with his 10 year+ old 1/2hp well pump. It is running and running at 900watts constant and hardly building pressure and even caused the 250amp breaker on his single VFX3524 inverter to trip. He is running the pump at 240V off a x240 transformer and thinking he might need to replace the pump and might want to go with a larger 3/4hp pump for better performance and more future capacity. Does anyone have experience running 3/4hp pumps on this setup? The pump is approx. 200\u2019 down in the well.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'><img width=96 height=49 id="_x0000_i1025" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B2DkmvpJ0917bnN0ajl2dnRqZnM&export=download"></span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> Amos Post</span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> Integrity Energy</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> O: 802.763.7023</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> C: 802.291.2188</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> <a href="http://ienergyvt.com/" target="_blank">ienergyVT.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.facebook.com/integrityenergyllp?ref=br_tf" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=20 height=20 id="_x0000_i1026" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B2DkmvpJ0917Wm9Od1I4YllsbHM&export=download"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'><img border=0 width=96 height=49 id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B2DkmvpJ0917bnN0ajl2dnRqZnM&export=download"></span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> Amos Post</span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> Integrity Energy</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> W: 802.763.7023</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> C: 802.291.2188</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'> <a href="http://ienergyVT.com" target="_blank">ienergyVT.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.facebook.com/integrityenergyllp?ref=br_tf" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=20 height=20 id="_x0000_i1028" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B2DkmvpJ0917Wm9Od1I4YllsbHM&export=download"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
