Generator Help For Well

[elkbowhunter]

Im looking for a 4500 Watt Generator that I get use 220 on(for well) Using it for a remote well that has no power available. My Well guy says that a 4500 watt generator would work adequately. I was thinking Honda might be the way to go? They sure are quiet and long lasting.
Any other suggestions? No telling what those suckers cost.
thanks!!

Are you talking about water to a house 24/7?

I have a Honda 4500 and they are great generators. It has ran two travel trailers at once. We haven't used the 220 side much but it has ran everything we have pluged into it with no problems at all.

Honda for sure are the best but i have a champion 4500 and it's been good so far but not near as quiet as the Honda but half the price

hey elk, have you look into windmills?

I ran my well in Huffman with a 3000 watt gen for 8 days after Ike. Honda makes a great generator, but it will run 2 - 3,000 for it. I've had a 5000 watt Honda for 25 years and it's still going strong and starts on the first or second pull.
