A True Doomsday Prepper
Hi All,
I'm sure I'll need to revisit this, with some more specifics on my exact well pump, etc. (I've also heard it may need to power the reserve tank, etc.)?
This isn't an area I'm well-versed in at all. And I'll likely be having a professional electrician do the install of this.
But, figured I'd cast a line, and see if any hits on folks who've done something similar, to get an idea of what I'm looking at. I know the start up of the pump can be many times the wattage. I just want to get a decent generator that I can use in an emergency situation to ensure we have water when the power is out.
We were down for 5 days during Irma, and although I had planned for it, and had lots of stored water, even for all the animals, etc., it would have been nice to have....so trying to find a good, but also cost-effective solution.
Maybe even a solar powered option is good for it? Just not sure. Thanks.
