Our well pump is the single point of failure for the entire homestead. What is your backup plan?
No water means no water for the animals, no flushing toilets, no washing, no nothing. We found this out the hard way during a 2 day outage in February. Had to drive to town three times to fill water containers at the laundromat.
The well pump is 240v 1.5hp. It pulls a ton of amps on startup. I tried hooking it up to a cheap inverter generator and it tripped every time the pump kicked on.
What are homesteaders running for well pump backup that actually handles the startup surge?
