Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Powerful and Reliable Red Lion RL-SWJ50 97080502: 1/2-HP 13-GPM Cast Iron Shallow Well Jet Pump โ€“ Ideal for Efficient Water Supply by Alex Tilden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great and is cheap

Very quiet pump. Supports 50psi with no problem. Starts at 35psi. The motor doesn't have any brushes exposed to rust, so I bought one. I have 220V pumps. I can't say anything about its operating times, as I use a maximum of 15 minutes to shower at my hunting camp. It took about 15 seconds to prime at first, but has been instantaneous since then (this depends on how well your bottom valve holds pressure, which isn't a pump fault). DO NOT increase the pressure above the standard 50psi as this will overload and overheat the electric motor causing it to fail. If you need higher pressure and/or flow, you should buy a larger pump.
