TL;DR version:
I have no local source for a Grundfos CU-301 controller. Do you guys keep a spare on hand, or think doing so is a good idea?
Longer version:
Pump and controller were here when I bought the house, a happy accident for running from solar power, and has run flawlessly for the 7 years I've been here.
I can buy a standard well pump pressure switch or capacitor start box at half a dozen hardware stores within 20 miles. Grundfos controller? Not a chance. Best case scenario, next day air one in, and have water back up the next day. I'm seriously considering buying a spare controller and mounting it on the wall next to the in-use controller.
Opinions?
