What has been the reliability issue with Grundfos? I have not had any problems with them other than the above ground electronics.
A side question, has anyone found a small (1/2hp) above ground household pump that is soft start and reasonably priced? > My well driller-well pump guy is offering Sta-Rite pumps manufactured by > Pentair [as in Pentair water filtration they seem to be buying lots of > water > related companies]. > > I am curious as to feedback on these, has anyone used them? > > Soft start, digital controls, easy programming, stainless steel, 3-year > warranty, & includes a pressure transducer, so no pressure switch > required. > > My pump guy says he has only had 1 issue on 1 pump in serval hundred > installed. Almost sounds too good to believe. > > A bit less $ retail than a Grundfoss but supposedly a whole lot more > reliable. > > A 1 HP motor 20 GPM pump draws 4.7 Amp/240 VA as it hits a 60 psi cutout > [1,128 watts peak] though I will set to 30/50 psi. > > > > Comments please. > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. > > 208.721.7003 d...@solarwork.com > > Idaho Contractor - # 028765 Idaho PV # 028374 > > NABCEP # 051112-136 www.solarwork.biz > > "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" > > P Please consider the environment before printing this email. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > List sponsored by Redwood Alliance > > List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org > > Change listserver email address & settings: > http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org > > List-Archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html > > List rules & etiquette: > www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm > > Check out or update participant bios: > www.members.re-wrenches.org > > Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ e-mail offgridso...@sti.net text 209 813 0060 _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
