Im sure the pump is the problem.... My pump on my offgrid system uses hardly any power, ....for a long time I had it running on an old boat battery (battery was usually so dead it would barely light a small light bulb and was re-charged by a small junk 2' solar panel) It ran like this for years before I recently switched it over directly to my main solar powered batteries.
I got it on eBay (for well under $100) and I also have a small pressure tank I use with it. It will run off the battery even when it is practically drained empty, doesnt use much power at all. My pump is made for fishing boats and RVs, and is good for a cabin so I know its not the best for a house.... just pointing out that basic water pumps can be cheap and use low power.
save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
