Best value, SUPER QUIET

Replaced 30 year old Gould. This pump is amazing. Shallow well 100 feet away on a 1 inch line. Installs in minutes and is SUPER QUIET. 100% recommended over any other pump. Forget pumping out of the box.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Largely OK, but...

Great solution for a rainwater collection system in a small house

This pump works well in our small country home as part of a rainwater collection system. We have a total of 4 water outlets so we can use a 14 gallon pressure tank. The pump has been running trouble-free and reliably for about two years now.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Hard to say

Water pump at Well Pumps

I bought this pump a year and a half ago. It delivers 4 GPM at 25 feet buoyancy and headless. Now the engine overheats and after a while it stops. Was going to buy another one until I saw the price double in less than two years. I found the price new for this pump to be high and it comes with a one year warranty.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Empty

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…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some little things

Worked fine for a week then suddenly started splashing water everywhere - CHARACTER!

Lasted a WEEK! It worked fine for 7 days although it's quite noisy in my opinion. Then all of a sudden it started spattering on the gasket between the pump and motor and then on all the other connections. Piece of shit! And sure enough, it collapsed on Friday night, Labor Day weekend. Therefore, no one can send another or offer help. One of the reasons I bought this device was because they offered tech support. But he isn't. And we've spent hours and hours connecting this junk, spending a lot…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Operating normally but not to published specifications

The pump was damaged in transit. The fan cover was ripped off and the plastic fan blades were bent, but I managed to straighten the fan blades and reattach the cover. The pump was advertised as 6.5 amps but the label on the pump said 10 amps. I called tech support and they said the pump was mislabeled. I installed the pump and the current in my situation was actually 5 amps so I was happy with that. What annoyed me was that the pump was advertised as 20 psi and 9.6 gpm with a 15 foot suction…

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Non automatic
