1: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
Soft start reduces over-pressure in your piping.

1: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
It reduces the occurrence of water hammer in the pipes and minimises wear during start-up.
1: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
Soft start prevents the motor from getting warm.

2: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
Because large variations in power supply will damage the motor over time.
2: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
To avoid burning the house fuses.
