It has a variable smart control that 'learns' your plumbing to control speed and power necessary to maintain a pressure you select up to 60#. This pump can be plugged into a 115v outlet and uses 5.7 amps and pumps at a rate of 13 gpm and uses about 550 watts while running. It would power up every time you open a water valve or flush a toilet.

Option 2) is a Grundfos scala2 'on demand' pressure pump that would not need the pressure tanks I currently have in place. It is not a soft start pump but will pump up my 98 gallon pressurized tanks in just under 8 minutes which will save some power. The options I have are as follows: 1)I've found a Grundfos JP05D-CI jet pump that is 1/2 hp and is rated at 3.61 amps at 115v or 7.06 amps at 230v that pumps at 12.5 gallons per minute and uses about 770 watts while running. By the way, our household uses 230-260 gallons of water per day and our elevation is 8,600'. I will have the solar to use the well pump during the day to pump into the cistern. I'm thinking of going to a 1000 gallon cistern with a smaller pressure pump so that it can run at night if needed. The current well pump draws 11.2 amps and shows about 2.5 kw while running. The problem is the well pump comes on at night which really hammers our batteries. It takes just over 15 minutes of running to pressurize the house at 30/50# of pressure. Currently we have a soft start Grundfos 5SQ-410 pump that runs at 6.6 gallons per minute into three pressure tanks for a total of 98 pressurize gallons.
