Consumer reports says a well pump runs about 700 watts. Multiply that by 3 to get a rough estimate of the starting wattage for the pump and you run about 2100 which still leaves plenty of wiggle room in terms of wattage.Click to see full answer. Regarding this, will a 5000 watt generator run a well pump?Homeowners can often power most household appliances using between 3000 and 6500 watts. If your home has a smaller furnace and city water, you can generally expect that 3000-5000 watts will cover your needs. If you have a larger furnace and/or a well pump, you will likely need a 5000 to 6500 watt generator.Additionally, what size generator do I need to run a water pump? In the case of a 1 HP standard submersible well pump; a 4-5 KW generator is required for the well pump even though 1 KW is the amount of power the pump uses when it is running. Simply so, how many watts does a 1/2 HP well pump use? The instruction manual for the transfer switch indicates that a shallow well 1/2 hp pump requires 1000 running watts plus 2350 starting watts.How many amps does a 1 HP well pump draw?1 HP submersible pump motor will draw a current of 3. 2 amperes if it is single phase motor at a voltage of 230 volts, and if it is a 3phase motor at a voltage of 440 volts, it will draw a current of 1.7 amperes, maximum.
