I had read that it took a lot of extra to pull the load at the start. I’m beginning to wish we had the manual pump my grand parents had. Ha.
When hubby finishes the current project, I’m going to order some commercial cisterns to collect rain water off the roof and the storage shed for our garden. They are 2500 gallons each. Push comes to shove, we can use the Berkey to filter it.
If we can’t figure out or afford the generator.
Yeah, it really takes an unusual surge first 3 seconds of running a well pump. Dads experience of sizing the first generator to carry the running load he measured bit him. The starting load is so short it did not really show on his meter.
Just did not want others to make our mistake.
