The Grundfos 16SQF-10 will give you 12 to 13 gpm at 230 feet. But
that is working at the upper edge of this pump's lift rating. Not
sure that meets your definition of most of the 20 gpm.<br>
<br>
The maximum output current, 50 A, of the inverter system equals the
locked rotor amps of a 2 HP motor. Without a soft start you aren't
going to reliably start the 2HP pump while running other loads. Even
the 1.5 HP is problematic.<br>

We're upgrading an off-grid water system.
Dynamic head <br>
while pumping at 20 GPM is 150 ft from water level to wellhead
and then <br>
its 85 ft vertical to storage tank so 235 ft total head to
open <br>
discharge. We would like to get most of that 20 GPM, we need
to know if <br>
there is personal experience with starting a 1.5 or 2 HP, 240
vac, 2 <br>
wire submersible pump against that kind of head with an
Outback Flex <br>
Power2 (2 X VFXR3648A-01 inverters).<br>
<br>
The FP2 will also be powering standard off-grid
loads. <br>
There is plenty of battery behind the inverters. If a
soft-start <br>
solution is required, some specifics would be great. Grundfos
doesn't <br>
seem to have an option for these requirements, solar-direct is
not an <br>
option at this location.<br>
