Valveman, thanks for this post, it is enlightening although saddening to learn that about the only thing right with my system is likely the two holes in the ground.
You said:
"Intermittent being taking a shower or filling a washing machine. Any long term water uses such as heat pumps and irrigation needs to be matched to the max output of the pump."
The MonoDrive will only reduce the flow to be less than the max flow of the pump. The SubDrive can over drive the motor from up to 80Hz (rather than standard 60Hz).
The fact that the MonoDrive will only reduce the flow appears to be in direct opposition to your/Franklin's statement that I quoted above.
So I think that I need to find a 1st stage flow rate and pressure (if I use a MonoDrive) that will give a steady current and a 2nd stage flow rate at the same pressure that will also give a steady current. I think that there are settings that are less than the maximum that will give that. Also I was not able to reduce the pressure in the bladder along with the sensor, and they are meant to be reduced together within +/-2 PSI so that could have been a cause of stutter/bump/hammer that I observed at 7GPM and 45 PSI.
