I forgot to add- if output voltage regulation feed to the pump motor is deemed important- you have no real choice but to rely on inverters.  Most motors however  are quite forgiving in this aspect within reason.  If your voltage is low, you have to compensate with more current.  This may be repeating something you know, but others reading this may not.

Within the inverter, you can regulate your low voltage " frequency signal" prior to waveshaping with 2 simple linear voltage regulators set up as is shown in the National Semiconductor Application sheet for the LM117/317 regulator.  This allows you a means to trim your AC current potentials as needed.
30 KiloWatt Brats anyone?
