Interesting about the licensed pump installer, because in New Mexico there is not a license. I've been installing PV pumping systems since 1988, so I tire easily now when companies won't work with me, because I'm not "qualified". I actually installed some of the "Mono" hand crank and electric p

Allan and all, I just purchased a Lorentz pump and motor to replace an ETA HR-14 that ran flawlessly (the ONLY one!) for 10 years. I did have to establish my creds with Genpro but then they referred me to a local distributor that

We have 1 Lorentz installation in Haiti and about 9 in West Africa - pumping around 10,000 gpd.  Started using them a few years ago because we were having lots of problems with Grundfos.  To date, I believe we've had problems with 1 controller and 1 pump. (not sure, but a wiring error on the par

Hi Jason, You can do that, but will need to maintain the 15A limit of the M190s. For a single-phase, 240V application, with 3 M190s (3*0.8A = 2.4A,) you can install up to 10 M215s. On Sat, May 18, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Jason Szumlanski wrote: > Is there any reason I can't do this? I have an existi

Jason, The M190 requires using a 15-amp (maximum) branch circuit. As long as the total current from both types of inverters doesn't exceed 12 amps (80% of 15), there should not be a problem in mixing the inverters. The combination you are proposing is only 8.6 amps -- it should be fine. Kent
