Lower Startup Power. Smoother Starts. Longer Pump Life.
The Well Pump Soft Starter is designed to reduce startup power demand and mechanical stress on residential and light commercial well pumps. Using soft start technology, it stabilizes pump startup for off-grid, generator, and solar-powered systems—allowing pumps to run on lower power sources while extending overall pump life.

- Reduced Startup Power Demand: Lowers well pump inrush current by up to 40%, enabling reliable operation on smaller generators and solar systems.
- Soft Start Protection: Minimizes electrical surge and mechanical stress during startup to help extend compressor and pump life.
- Generator & Solar Ready: Allows well pumps to start on generators as small as 3,000 watts and improves compatibility with off-grid energy systems.
- 20-Minute, Installer-Friendly Installation: Mounts beside the main service panel with just three wire connections, no need to access or modify the pump.
- Durable, Safety-Rated Design: Features a waterproof and fire-resistant enclosure and is ETL listed for dependable indoor or outdoor installation.
