in Solar Water Pumping #1
All, I am looking to increase my water flow rate for my off grid cabin.  I have a SFDP1-070-060-53 Seaflo pump which is a draws 10 Amps, with a max of 24 Amps on 12V.  I would like to step down from my 24V system to 12V to run this critter.   Any experience on converting 24 to 12 for this application and recommendations for a converter?  It won’t run terribly much, so conversion efficiencies shouldn’t be a big factor.

    I have a 48 to 12volt converter by Analytic Systems.  Works well.  Not sure how many different combinations they make, but I'll bet a lot.  Mine is just for 12 volt fans, chargers and a satellite actuator moving 4 panel array.

    24A is a start or stall current.  A 15A converter should do.
