Thanks. The entire setup with the 4kw water heater, swim current motor is already part of the Endless Pool purchased package.

Converting 12V system to 48V - 15,360Wh 300Ah battery equivalent wired to 1,820W Solar connected to a Victron Multiplus II 120V 48/3000/35-50 and a Victron SmartSolar charge controller MPPT 150/70 Tr. Victron Multiplus II manual recommends 125A Mega fuse on battery line to inverter but many on...

There is water from a tap and I have that same evaporatIve cooler. Good thought but I wonder how much water that uses daily?

Thank you all of you for your suggestions. I really don’t need a truly “certified outdoor” inverter and as a retiree, my budget can’t be in the thousands. I need a lowish power output pure inverter that can operate at the elevated temperature experienced in Phoenix - the inverter will be...

Set up EG4 6500 inverter on a cart with 48V Lifepower battery to use for powering my RV off grid. I had wired a 30A RV style plug for direct AC input - when I called Signature Solar, tech recommended I not directly wire the plug to the AC in on the inverter and instead put an intervening breaker...

The 5 HP pump runs the swim current for the Endless Pool and is built in and cannot be switched out. To get over the inrush surge that could overwhelm a high frequency inverter, I wonder if placing a Soft Start on the power line could reduce the surge to tolerable levels. I see that Will Prowse...

I have 1/0 battery cables. What is your recommended T class fuse size? What wire gauge would you recommend from my 48V battery to the MPPT and what size fuse do you recommend for that MPPT wire? Thanks.

Thanks…I am not charging when I am using inverter load. I charge when I am RV sites with 30 A outlets or when visiting relatives with only 15 A outlets. I use the inverter when boondocking, ie when off the grid with no external power supply - like at a Walmart parking lot or a park with no...

I have a 4000W ground mounted array >100 feet from the house. Even though NEC 690.47(A)(1) says that “the PV output circuit is the only connection to ground required for the PV system” do you recommend I still run 6AWG copper ground wire with my PV cables in a buried conduit to join with the...

1/0 gauge ampacity is 170A X 1.25 = 212A fuse - nearest is 200A T class fuse battery line. MPPT line 70A X 1.25 = 87.5A fuse - I have used ANL fuses before - can I continue to do so using one with a close match to 87.5?

Thank you, Sorcerer…I used a very good 30 A RV cord, cut it in half and use it with a surge protector when plugged into 30 A outlets at RV parks. Signature Solar say they don’t recommend directly wiring a plug to the AC input on the inverter. Regarding the second issue, if the DC battery...

I agree - the AIMS charges at 18A. As Signature Solar recommended the charger be disconnected from making contact with the EG4 battery after each charge, I wanted to know if any sort of DC circuit breaker would work. As for using an AC outlet to charge the EG4 Lifepower, I kept tripping my home...
