Good Morning,
I need a water pump and pressure tank for my small cabin. My water source would be coming from the lake. Pump house is about 80ft from the lake and 15ft higher than the intake. Water use would be mostly for drinking, showering and dishes so not a ton of daily usage.
I'm in the process of designing a 1500w 24v solar setup using 2x100ah batteries. I'll likely go with the Victron multiplus 24/2000/50 for the inverter to get 120 and could install a converter to drop the 24v down to 12v.
Currently considering a shallow well 1/2hp 120v pump to use off of the inverter or get a 12v pump. Either way I'd like to have a pressure tank so it's not cycling all the time.
Would my setup power a 120v pump at this hp? I wouldn't use the pump often but figure it might work better than the 12v with a pressure tank?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you
