AC Pump Installation
Most of us will want to have an AC pumping system for a "real" home water system, especially throughout the north east. Our wells tend to be between 100 and 200 feet deep with a static level of 20' to 50'. This is an ideal situation for a 1/2 hp AC submersible pump. It will not be as efficient as a DC pump, but, given you will have a large inverter anyway, the reliability of an AC system can't be beat. Following are installation and design parameters for AC pumping systems.
921-001 $99
This kit contains all the parts necessary to install your AC pump except for the pipe, wire and pump rope (all of which depend on well depth and distance between the well and house). Included in the kit are a torque arrestor, 8 wire guides, a
pit-less adapter, 3 1" male adapters, a heat shrink splice kit and 10 stainless steel clamps.
