[RE-wrenches] Pentair Pump power

[frenergy]

Just curious, the 120VAC 1/2 HP submersible that has to date been in the 
well for the last 17 years has needed zero service, is there something 
about the Pentair set-up you're referring to that needs regular or 
occasional service?  Believe me I understand your comment about 
schlepping service to some other poor soul, but....

Is the Pentair powered with 240 Vac inverter power?

Dynamic head while pumping at 20 GPM is 150 ft from water level to wellhead and then its 85 ft vertical to storage tank so 235 ft total head to open discharge.  We would like to get most of that 20 GPM, we need to know if there is personal experience with starting a 1.5 or 2 HP, 240 vac, 2 wire submersible pump against that kind of head with an Outback Flex

Grundfos doesn't seem to have an option for these requirements, solar-direct is not an option at this location.
