You didn't do your homework. This information is readily available, right on this site. Here I've cut and pasted the pump chart that you should have been able to find yourself.
Looking at the 1/2hp 115V pump, you can see it has a starting surge of ~55A. That's 6325W of startup surge. You'll need a low-frequency transformer-based inverter to start this. Your typical AiO can only handle a starting surge for only 8-16 milliseconds. Look for an inverter that can handle that starting surge for> 500 milliseconds.
Is it doable, yes, for sure. Is it doable for <1500$. Most likely not. My Conext SW4024 might handle it. I've not run a pump on it, but it can start a 1.6hp air-compressor, and a 3cuft cement mixer.
