@@spiffdandy77 Yes, barely. The warranty was 2 years and it lasted about that long. The replacement is doing the same thing as this one was, and the replacement has lasted about 2.5 years. I'm going to look for another solution. Granted, this pump runs for 6+ hours per day and at very high pressures (for about 200 days per year), but I think a better method might be to use a cheaper submersible, that pumps into a tank at a lower elevation, and a surface pump that pushes the water further up. The plunger-type surface pumps, like the SunPump products, have much greater life expectancy and are obviously easier to access, when they need maintenance. I wouldn't mind swapping a cheap pump every few years, but this Grundfos SQ series is expensive.
Hi there--Did it turn out that the pump was the issue? Trying to troubleshoot our own set-up right now. Let me know if you get a chance, I'd really appreciate it.
Hola que tal! por las dudas tendras fotos de la placa? tengo el mismo y revento algo en la coneccion del flotador, pero no tengo una foto como para saber el componente
Actually, I think you're looking at the far right of the power curve. This pump only requires about 500 watts to pump to 625 feet, at about 2 gallons per minute. www.solar-electric.com/lib/wind-sun/6_SQF-3_Curve_Data.pdf
It's been working very well (no pun intended), for the last three years. Fingers crossed that it'll last at least a few more. These pumps aren't cheap.
