I have also installed several Grundfos SQ Flex submersible well pumps, and had trouble with them, primarily with the control systems, the low water shut off sensor has failed on several pumps, and the CU200 control boxes have failed. The pumps themselves have held up so far, and seem to be very efficient. I wish there were more solar direct well pump options, I've tried the ETA pumps, the Sunpumps (which are great for low head, low flow) and am about to try a Monoflow. Any other thoughts?
