Hello,
I'd like a way to control the flow of this pump I read that VFD only works on the three-phase pumps, this model is available in 3 phases but it's utterly expensive. Wonder if there's a way to control a single phase?
 
Intermittent (frequent start/ stop), it's normally harder on a pump mirror than continuous service.

Just make sure the vendor knows about the temperature as submersible use the fluid as cooling for the motor.

You do sometimes need to start centrifugal pumps against a close valve to reduce initial current load.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
