Catch, make or grow everything you can.
Grundfos are excellent pumps.I'm running a Grundfos soft start. Water is down about 150ft. It pulls about 1000 watts once it gets up to speed. Its 120v. It will run off almost any inverter or small generator.
I am planning on adding a higher output pump in another well down the road. Likely much higher HP and 3 phase. I'm planning on using a single phase 240v inverter and running it through a VFD. That way I can control it via a PLC and use it as a load diversion in the summer when I irrigate.
I asked about the well, as this can be a large start up load for a small inverter. A dedicated 120v system running a 120v well pump has no issues with out of balance between L1 & L2.
The suggestion about building a dedicated 120v system with a separate 240 inverter (normally off) for occational use equipment may be good advice.
