The generator I have right now is 5500 peak (surge) which is 22.91 amps at 240v 45.82 amps at 120v, generator's normal running wattage is 4500 watts which is 18.75 240v & 37.5 120v. AIM manual states minimum of 10kw externally regulated generator to start this 3hp pump butt what is confusing...

Well the LRA for this pump is 64.4 amps but the AIM manual states a 10000 watt externally regulated generator will start & run this 3hp pump but what makes this confusing is a 10000watt gen is only 41.7 amps at 240v. Do they mean 64.4 LRA at 120v or 64.4 at 240v it isn't defined ether way just...

Hey valve man, hoping you would show up. Yes pipe full, some pressure, valve closed very short time, all thigs I learned with you installing shallow well pump & PK1a & using small inverter generator on it a few years ago working with you thanx again & to reach 4 i remember him helping, I really...

I copied & pasted the pump motor info, I understand the LRA is 64.4 amps but research in the AIM manual states it takes a minimum of 65% of the LRA to get the rotor moving which would be 41.86 amps, my Duromax 5500 doesn't put out 42 amps so I had hoped the cap in the control box would have...

I just noticed your reply, thats exactly what the wife & my 2 girlfriends say to me.

Did some research found that most generators are externally regulated except for inverter generators are internally regulated, can't find info on the Duromax XP5500HX if it's internally regulated or externally. Am at the point to just take a shot in the dark & try it but worry it may somehow...

I looked at the AIM 2023 manual yesterday & what I found on page 5 table 3 for generator minimum rating for 3 hp pump was 10kw am I reading this correctly is there another section /area ?

Hey, what's a guy got to do to get some attention around here, you all make me feel just like i'm at home.

I have a 3hp submersible & a Duromax XP5500HX generator, the pump motor is Franklin 3hp, 3wire, 230v, 2.2 kw, 1 phase 60hz. Pump is 450 feet deep, static water level 140 feet, 84 gallon bladder tank. Info for pump motor states • Full Load ( Amps / Watts ): 10 Amps / 670 Watts • Starting /...

Yes sure your right but the reason I'm asking why it was discontinued is I can get a wx 252 new in box for $389.00 but worried why it was discontinued.

Does anyone know why the Well x Trol WX 252 was discontinued by the manufacturer ?

I have spent a great amount of time trying to find a 1.25 hose that will work just can't seem to locate, all I would need is a 4-6 inch piece and use a couple band clamps. have allways had hard piped to the pump & if I needed to disconnect would have to cut pipe do what I needed to do & then...

A flex line on the suction side of the pump would make it eaiser to connect / disconnect and I have a falcon stainless 1.25 mip / fip that would work nicely but can they take vaccume as well as pressure ? V / R Grunt

Ive just been informed that the upper basket on control valves is not used when the valve is used on a vortech tank. Am setting up a 12x52 vortech with a 2510 sxt. The valve didn't come with an upper basket and when asked about it was informed no upper basket is used when utilizing a voetech...

Are you talking about the hard piping on suction side of pump or discharge side. I have a 1 inch pump connector I was going to use on discharge side of pump. V / R Grunt

Thanx for the reply; was also wondering that taking the pump off of the top of the pressure tank & bolting it to the slab puts it 3 feet closer to the static water level of the well would there be a noticeable increase in the gpm ? V / R Grunt

Had a starite 1hp pump for 30 + years which sat ontop of a large bladder tank & was reasonably quiet. Have a j10s now on top of new bladder tank & it is noisey compared to the starite. Want to move the pump to the slab figure it will be less noisey than sitting atop a 20 gal bladder tank but...

I was reading an add for a carbon filter and it says "Fully assembled backwashing filters with activated carbon and MicroZ™" What is microz ? V / R Grunt

Sorry I didn't get back here sooner but when I had read reach4's comment about being zoned sounded like a good idea so I got zoned also. The reason I need to know the gpm is am going with a larger mineral tank and probably a fleck 5810. V/R Grunt

Thanx V/R Grunt
