Al,

Your well man is probably right. I've been told that it takes twice as much
electricity to start a motor as it does to run it....

Yep. A big inrush current is necessary to overcome the inertia of the
system, but pump motor designs are also more efficient than they were
45 years ago. I suspect that's where the savings will come from.


And, as Bob said, the bigger holding tank will help quite a bit, too.
The fewer the daily cycles, the longer the pump life.
