Pump, Deep Well Submersible Pump, 1 Hp, 230V, 33 Gpm, 207 feet, Stainless Steel, Long Life

I have gone thru several pumps over the years both 2 wire and 3 wire and this one beats them all!. First of all my order arrived in just 2 days ..amazing This pump is lighter weight/shorter uses less amperage and has more output than any I have used at 3 times the cost. Mine did not come with a heat shrink/connector kit for the wiring connections as some sellers of other pumps do include this kit. Using the optional supplied riser will require a 5 inch tube clearance verses a 4inch for just the pump. The power wires for this pump are smaller gauge than any I have seen/used but are rated to adequately carry the 5.1 amperage rating of this pump. I have had 1HP pumps that use almost 10 amps so the larger diameter power wires are required/needed in that case. The pump intake screen has smaller diameter holes than any I have used/seen so should allow less debris to be pulled through intake. The 14 foot long power cable is adequate and color coding is standard. ground lead is marked/identified with a metal tab labeled "GROUND" so that their can be no confusion. Noticed that the plastic bag containing the pump had a lot of condensation moisture in/on it but I assume this is the water from quality control testing. I like that the output port of the pump has carbon threads which reduce corrosive welding and deterioration of connective fittings. I was attracted by the *Industrial grade heavy duty, also good for home usage* statement as this appears to speak of a high standard to work performance. Wish this pump had a 3 year warranty verses a one year but at this price what can I say. I like that the company is located in the USA for warranty returns as warranties from other companies require that you pay shipping to Canada and other areas outside the USA This also concerned me when it comes to warranties on other brands. I found these and other such reviews on other brands sold on amazon.. and noticed the companies mentioned in the 2 reviews never responded. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Most Helpful Customer Reviews 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful Why I did NOT buy this pump. By Alexander Orenstern on October 29, 2012 I was about to order this pump from Amazon when I had a technical question and I called Flotec. Flotec told me that they would not honor any warranty on the pump if I bought it from Amazon. I checked with Amazon and they confirmed, no warranty of any kind. So I went with Red Lion. The parent company of Red Lion (Franklin Electric) told me that they do honor warranties on Red Lion EVEN IF I bought a pump from Amazon. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful well pump By Rae on September 12, 2012 Amazon Verified Purchase First one didn't work so Amazon replaced it, second one quit after two and a half months which is beyond Amazons 30 days so called Flotec who said that since I bought it through Amazon they weren't required to and wouldn't honor their warrenty. Amazon refunded me 80% of the purchase price. Go Amazon, I bought a new pump a home supply store, but not a Flotec, I'm not overly fond of them at this point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now only time will tell how well it lasts to heavy everyday demand. will provide periodic updates. Bottom line.....WHAT A DEAL! addition info The capacity of the pump is determined by the width of the impeller vanes and its pressure by the number of impellers. As an example, a ½ horsepower 7-stage pump may deliver a high volume of water at a low pressure while a ½ horsepower 14-stage pump will deliver a lower volume but at a greater pressure. Like all other centrifugal pumps, an increase in well depth or discharge pressure will reduce the capacity.

I had to replace a very old pump that failed a week earlier and, for me, the installation was easier than I thought it would be There are several YouTube videos that are extremely informative. My well is 3' wide and I discovered I had to add a flow sleeve shroud to extend the life of the pump. I think I figured out what killed my old pump - I only use the well for my 5 zone sprinkler system. When all zones are running continuously the pump is going hard for a couple of hours. The old pump did not have a flow sleeve and it gave up after a couple of years. I redid my sprinkler schedule to add 15 mins between zones to let the new pump cool off. Update: The pump worked great initially but gradually started failing. I pulled the pump and removed the shroud to discover trash was blocking the intake. The bottom of the pump was only 4' off the bottom so I cut off 6' of pipe to put it 10' off the bottom as is recommended. I still have 35' of water above the intake. Now working fine again.

Good value. Was easy to install ourselves. Has a good gph rate for our small well needs.

I suspended the pump inside a 6" well casing that I placed in a 50 gallon trash can that holds 240 pounds of cement. I sunk it 15' into a lake and pump the water out of the lake up 29' to a pond that is the start of my waterfall/stream. Pump is quiet and working great so far. (Pump worked great for 5 months then died, now I have to wait until spring to dive down in the lake and replace pump, I was hoping for at least a few years of operation, not 5 months.) UPDATE: Foolishly I purchased the same pump again, but upgraded the ground wire to 12ga as suggested by other users. Let's hope this does the trick this time. When it works it works fine, just doesn't work long enough. Will update as the months go by... UPDATE: Didn't need to wait months for review, it crapped out within a week. Left in water for a few days to test my electrical connection and when pulled it out it had already started to rust. (see photo)This product should be banned from sale, it only works for a short while then fails. I WILL NOT be buying a third one, returning this one. Save your money and purchase elsewhere. One star is to high a rating....!

Muy buen producto, precio y calidad, me a funcionado muy bien, lo recomiendo

Pump appeared to be good quality and even came with the electrical tape and teflon tape. Insatallws easily and works well. At 100ft down it is not 33 gal per min but I am very happy with the pump.

This pump seems to work good, good pressure from our well, timely delivery and arrived undamaged. Good instructions for installation. Can not recall if it is csa approved or not but it didn’t really matter because I installed it myself. Would make a difference if getting a plumber to install.

Me gusta que no requiere caja de control, y la instale con un interruptor de flotador en un pozo de 30Mts. Recomiendan probarlo primero antes de instalarlo, pero directamente lo instalé y no dio ningún problema. Me gusto que es de 220v, lo que lo hace más eficiente. Es bastante mas largo y pesado que la sumergible de 1/2 hp que se reemplazó.

Excellent!! 👍👍👍
