I agree with Jerry and JC.
Unless you have a shallow well (40 feet or so) with a jet pump or in-well pump of no more than 1/2 HP you can forget using a 36540 3,500 watt generator to run the well. I really don't believe you will be successful running a deep well 240 VAC 3/4 or 1 HP pump (like I have) unless you move up to a 5,500 watt or larger generator.
