Grundfos SQ Flex submersible pumps offer the ultimate in power source flexibility.  This means that the pump will operate from any AC voltage from 90 to 240, 50-60Hz, or DC power from 30 to 300 volts.  The SQ Flex can pump water using wind power, solar array, generator power, grid power, inverter power, battery backup, or any combination of the above.  An included sensor protects the pump from running dry.  Water can be delivered at heads up to 500 feet.  Grundfos is a Danish company with manufacturing facilities worldwide, including the United States.

Setting up a pumping system requires the pump of course, and various other switches and control devices depending on the energy source(s) that will be supplying the pump.  Please see the application chart in the manual.  A circuit breaker and enclosure should be installed at the bare minimum, to allow the pump to be turned on and off.  There is a lot of information to digest regarding these versatile pumps, simply because they can be used in so many different ways.  If you think this may be the pump for you, spend some time looking through the manual and get a rough idea of how it all works.

IO 101-115V Interface Box
The IO 101 is an on/off switch box that allows connection of both a solar array and an AC power source, such as a generator or the grid.  If the AC power fails, the IO 101 switches automatically to the solar power source.  Switching back to AC power is manual.

Grundfos SQ series submersible pumps are the Grundfos alternative to conventional AC powered submersibles.  They feature "soft start" which means that the motor starts gradually, with no power surge.  This means that they work successfully with smaller inverters and generators, compared to a conventional pump. We've seen 3/4 HP models work successfully with 2000 watt sinewave inverters and a 120/240 transformer, but it's always better to avoid the transformer if possible. First number in the pump model code "05" indicates GPM flow at most efficient depth, middle number indicates pump horsepower "07"= 3/4 HP, last number indicates rated depth or total feet of head. Confused? Give us a call for recommendations. We have other pump models available to fit most situations. Have well specifications handy when you call and we'll help you choose the right pump for your needs.  NOTE: 5SQ05-270 in the chart below is a typographical error. It should be 5SQ07-270, a 3/4 HP, 240 volt pump.
