[QUOTE="Kentishfarmer, post: 7202437, member: 28556"] It's got a "speedomatic" digital pump controller which you set the pressure on, gaps between switching on in term of secs & pressure bar drop. So its not on permanently, its just the needs of the system mean its engaged pretty much the whole time, but it has longer gaps in winter when the stock are in and it doesn't have to pump to the difficult tanks. Its got a pressure bladder too supposedly to take some of the pressure fluctuations but I think that should have been bigger. I've read if your running direct off of panels without batteries then you can damage the pump due to power changes from too little/too much throughout the days production. But I guess there much be some controller/regulator/switch to stop this? [/QUOTE]
