It definitely starts the pump up smoother. I have not tested it yet with a generator. I already had the SoftstartRV for a number of years so I was confident that this would do what it says it would do. Review: Worked like a champ 38% reduction in Inrush Current. - Configuration: 240V, 1.5Hp submersible well pump. Startup Current 64.6A, Running Current 10A. After Install: Startup Current dropped to 39.8A, Running Current no change (as expected) . Works perfectly (day 1, post install). Installation was pretty straight forward; However, it was a pain to get all the stranded wires into the connector wire clamp. I don't care for the little screw to secure the wire into the connector. After ~ 40minutes, all wires were inserted. NOTE: Use only 12/3 SJOOW cable (300V rating)as the connectors is not suitable for a cable with a higher voltage rating. This was not a 20minute install. It would be a 20 minute swap & replace but I hope that not indication of reliability. I would have given this a 5 star rating except for the connector. Why have a connector when every other aspect of your well pump is secured with a screw terminal & enclosed. The connectors are an unnecessary add on unless, this has to be replaced on a regular basis. ## Features - Reduce Inrush Current by Up to 40% - Deep well pumps typically need 65–75 amps to start; this soft start well pump controller lowers that demand so you can run on smaller power sources. - Compatible with 0.5–1.5 HP 120V & all 240V pumps up to 3.5 HP – Works with residential, farm irrigation, greenhouse, and Franklin Electric submersible/deep well pumps. - Generator, Solar & Off-Grid Ready – Starts pumps on medium-sized generators and solar setups without draining battery reserves; ideal as a single-phase soft start for well pumps. - Extend Pump Life & Prevent Failures – Soft start technology minimizes startup spike, reduces wear on windings, prevents tripped breakers, and protects your water pump soft starter system. - Certified, Safe & Easy to Install – CE & ETL listed, waterproof & fireproof housing; quick 20-minute install near your breaker box with included connectors; backed by free USA-based live technical support. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0FQ4G4Q7L | | Best Sellers Rank | #161,537 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #42 in Well Pumps | | Brand | SoftStartUSA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (6) | | Date First Available | September 7, 2025 | | Included Components | Well Pump, Connectors, Installation Directions | | Item Weight | 1.5 pounds | | Item model number | SoftStart Well Pump | | Manufacturer | SoftStartUSA | | Material | Plastic, Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride | | Part Number | SSWP | | Power Source | Generator Powered, Solar Powered | | Product Dimensions | 7.75"L x 3.63"W x 2.63"H | | Style | Submersible | | UPC | 860010067376 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SoftStartUSA - **Item Weight:** 1.5 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** SoftStartUSA - **Material:** Plastic, Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride - **Power Source:** Generator Powered, Solar Powered - **Product Dimensions:** 7.75"L x 3.63"W x 2.63"H - **Style:** Submersible - **UPC:** 860010067376 ## Images ![SoftStart Water Well Pump – Cuts inrush current 40% – For 0.5–1.5 HP 120V & 1–3.5 HP 240V submersible/deep well pumps – Generator & solar ready – ETL listed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71glSaSCltL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works. *by G***J on January 8, 2026* It's really easy and straight forward to install.
