Peak Power on a Phoenix 12/3000 inverter

I'm considering purchasing a Phoenix 12/3000 inverter to power a Grundfos CM 5-5 booster pump (0.9kW rated power with a start current stated as being 400 to 440% of rated current). I need to be sure that the inverter will not trip due to overload with the pump starting. The Victron specs quote a peak power of 6000W, but my concern is that ambient temp in summer sometimes can climb as high as 40 deg C. Has anyone had experience with similar conditions? (I am considering this inverter as there are some other DC loads, which I would supply directly from the 12V LiFePO4 battery that I'm considering using, and hence, increasing to a 5000VA inverter is not ideal, as those would require increasing to a 24 or 48VDC battery supply)
