Variable Frequency Well Pump Upgrade

[UncleDave]

The short - awesome upgrade from a single stage 40/60Lb pressure switch and an 80 gallon pressure tank to a Grundfos SQ series and tiny tank.
It gives the home city level performance.

The prior owner flat out lied to me about what was in the ground and when it went in.
This stuff was put in during the Bush 1 administration. Props to the stuff for making it to 35 years and be retired while working.

I did not know there was a variable frequency pump. I'm running on the original pump/tank for our well. This is from 1993. So I'm due for a new pump/tank. I have a triple Big Blue filtration I need to do the filters on as well. I assume the variable frequency is like an inverter heat pump?

Similar. The pump can ramp from 65% to 100%.

It's a soft start pump so it takes 3 seconds to ramp from a stop so running it off a generator is easier.

Ive got a whole new filtration system to put in as well on stop 2 here.
