Thanks!
I want to run the well on its own generator alone.
No well, no water, no toilet, etc.
Sucks
It's not what the pump needs to run, it's what it take to start since it starts under load. My situation is I am on city water but are below grade for sewer and have a sump tank and a pump to pump it up to the sewer line.....now power....well you know.
I have a 3 hp grinder pump and a 7500 watt generator could not start it. I got a Porter Cable generator with the Honda GX engine that is 10k with a 19.5 surge and it starts and runs the pump just fine....along with the rest of the house. So take a look at the surge rating.
