Looking to stand up an older irrigation pump here at home.
575v, 25hp 3600rpm motor running the show.
Currently set up with a push button start and pretty much no control over it other than On/Off.
Would like to be able to soft start, dial (or adjust) the frequency to be able to adjust flow output rather than running flat out and simply use or lose the power. Would rather only be paying out for what I actually need, when the number of sprinkler heads varies, rather than running flat out against the max number possible.
Possibly at some point, a control system with some pressure feedback may be considered, as there seems pretty good odds of a large scale drip irrigation hookup.
This all sound about par for the course with any VFD of suitable capacity? Getting to a price point where experiments are not super affordable.
Any brands markedly better than the others, or pretty much all about the same stuff?
