quote:Agreed, I originally designed my system to run my 1/2 hp irrigation pump during outages. With that pump I don't have to switch off my refrigeration before using the pump. Problem is my well with the big submersible pump has much better water so I use it. Sulfur water takes getting used to and that's what the irrigation well is. I can't imagine why you would need such a large pump for catchment on a single family house.
It amazes me why anyone would recommend a 1hp pump for a catchment system. That would be big enough for a 150' deep well. Might be cheaper to get a different (HD 1/2 hp) pump for back-up.
