Simple and easy installation

I am very happy with the device I chose for my shallow well. My well is about 48 feet deep and I have water up to 6 feet below the surface. My old system was a jet pump which was noisy to say the least. This submersible was a small 1/2 hp 230 VAC unit. On an above-ground test rig, I pushed the water up just 10 feet into the air through a 1-inch pipe. The device pumped about 3 gallons per second and was very powerful for such a small pump. However, after submerging the pump in water andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not reliable

It works perfectly. The well I put it in was drilled 20 years ago and never developed, so I had to run it continuously for several days to rid it of all debris and potential bacteria. It has been running continuously for 7 days now and the pressure test is as good today as it was the day it was installed. The Canadian company is very responsive to questions and has a knowledgeable person to speak to without having to navigate a lengthy call tree.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Great price

Warning! Do not buy this pump!

Do not buy this pump. Save your money and hit the lows. Bought the pump nine months ago. If only it were installed. And it only lasted 9 months. My previous pump lasted over ten years in a family of 6. They called because the factory warranty is 3 years. Covered. They said they would be waiting for a van on the 6th. So just a week without water. Then an email came that it was on the 7th. Called on the 7th to get a tracking number. CSR was very rude and said the truck would be on the 9th. Iโ€ฆ

Good pump for the price.

Easy to install, smaller than the same spec pump I had. I would give it 5 stars but it's a bit louder than the Myers pump I had. It's okay if your fountain is far from home. Also included is a waterproof splice set. It didn't say that, so I bought one. Let's say I have an ad. So far it has been installed for 2 weeks and is working well. As a side note, the Revain failed miserably for next-day delivery. It lasted 4 days. They refunded my delivery but it was a bit difficult not having waterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Almost OK

Easy installation - great work in a week

As mentioned before, it's quite difficult to give a good review without waiting about 10 years. But for what it's worth, it worked great last week (I'll try to update this review over the next few months/years). I installed this in a 120 foot hole that was 100 feet deep. Here's my setup: Red Lion RL12G05-2W2V > 1 1/4" thread to 1" barbed thread adapter > 1" 100psi polypropylene pipe secured with two hose clamps > no groove adapter. threw it in the well. I rode in daylight ( and lost)โ€ฆ

American-made submersible pump with the best American motor!

This was exactly the pump I needed for my application. The quality looks very good. It comes with a waterproof splice kit! (Observe the instructions and close with a rubber band) Not listed in the description! The wires were long, properly stripped and soldered into the pump motor. I added a 3rd wire (green) for ground and coiled it with a #12 twin lead The pump is working properly and delivering the advertised amount of water. My well is ok. 100 feet deep and pumps down about 50 feet. Submerge

  • Several competitors

Fully functional for all 78 days. Good luck F&^%*& guaranteed.

Installed to replace an almost identical Franklin Electric that had been in service for about 10 years and one fine day simply decided to stop pumping. The check valve is clean, the engine rotates. but the telltale bits of plastic falling out of the case let me know the impeller had expired. Ordered this Red Lion/Franklin Electric as a direct replacement. Furnished . Fully functional for 78 days until it started ringing in my tank like a Cummins 12 valve and just a trickle of water flowed to my

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some problems

Okay so far. for water pumps, parts and accessories

The problem with reviewing this product is that it should last ten years in my well (the last one lasted over 20 years). I installed it and it works. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a splicing kit. However, the last pump I had had built in wire (came with 200 feet of wire) so it didn't even require splicing. Maybe I'll write another review in 10 years if I'm still alive. This pump seems to pump faster than the old one despite having the same horsepower. The motor on this pump isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
