As per my web site article referenced before, 1.5 HP is conservative 
on a 4024. We have an old customer using a 2 HP on a 4024 for past 4 
years! Frank Fowler says that's about all it will run. Our customers 
lights blink when it starts, and it shuts down if he is running the 
washing machine when the pump starts up. Once the pump starts 
however, he can then start the washing machine. It's workable.

It won't need to start up but once a day at most, with a storage tank system.

Hey, it happens to me almost every day. Hard to say sometimes if you 
are helping humanity to consume less earthly resources, or more! I 
just have to detach myself and figure that people will do what they 
will do, that I don't always know best, and try to find the best 
option if not the ideal. At least your customer will likely develop 
the quality of the land to where it needs less water -- permaculture 
ideal.
