What size generator are you using to drive the well pump ? I have no idea what size/amps/hp my well pump is but I think a relatively safe guess is a 2500-3000 watt generator would run just the pump . Then there is the electric water heater which I may switch to LP for exactly the reason to keep amp load low . I think I can power my house with a 10 kw - 12 kw generator by being smart/conservative .
