Deep Well Submersible Pump, 2 HP, 230V, 35 Gpm, 400 feet, Stainless Steel, Long Life

Works perfect!!

Pump has been running perfectly for over 2 years. Feeding 3 houses, 260 feet deep, with NO check valve at the pump (just one at the top). The construction is excellent. After reading some negative reviews when I purchased it, I invested in some additional quality electrical supplies and took my time to make sure every connection was solid and absolutely sealed. I suspected it at the time, but after two years with zero issues I'm convinced the number one issue with this pump is people misunderstanding and/or doing a poor job with the wiring. Take your time! Be absolutely sure every connection is rock solid, sealed with adhesive lined shrink tubing, and then use PVC pipe wrap tape to secure all your wiring to the bottom of your piping so they won't wiggle and risk coming loose. And use a check valve at the pump. I didn't because I couldn't get one in time and needed water, but you should. I tested mine every step of the way. First in a garbage can just overflowing the water on top of itself (with the wiring covered). Then with the piping attached, emptying back into the garbage can (I did this to clean out the pipe a bit too, but that was unique to my situation). Then again about 20 feet into water in the well. Then of course again at the bottom. I will 100% buy again. At this price I may just keep one on hand.

Pump has lasted me about a year and counting. However.... When I first put it in it failed within a week. The trouble is that the capacitor is loose in its housing so it jerks aginst the wires each time the pump kicks on. I pulled the pump and replaced the capacitor. Not because it failed but because the wire broke right where it meets the capacitor. If I were to buy this again I would replace the capacitor initially or at least reinforce the wires. Also the instructions include some information about a weep hole just above the check valve. This is not necessary and if you put it it will ultimately result in a jet of water that will cut your well casing or at least heat it to the point that it distorts making it difficult to pull the pump.

Pump functioned fine, but only lasted ~ 117 run time hours before motor failure.

I like this pump. It's doing what it should be doing but there are THREE things I didn't like about it. FIRST: The top of the pump is really small. Usually these tops are a big chunk of steel but this pump has a small cap of metal. I can't say whether this will effect the operation at all and as I said it seems to be working right now. SECOND: I didn't like the 230V wires. They seemed small for supplying current to a 230V pump. The two lines that where the 230V power supply were adequate (maybe a little on the small side). I think they should have been bigger. The neutral line appeared to be really small. This line doesn't matter that much and isn't carrying lots of current so I can see why they left it small. THIRD: I didn't like the holes for the safety rope. I have a big safety rope and the holes were too small for me. I measured them to be slightly larger than 1/4". I would recommend that you buy some marine grade D-ring shackles with the purchase of this pump if you have a line that is over 1/4" thick. I used quick links but had to run all over my area to find a place that had them in stainless steel. Also the safety line holes were on a little wing that came out at the top of the pump. I'm worried that one of these could break especially if the pump is sitting in water for >10yrs. I used both of them. You can see my setup in the attached picture. Overall, the pump is doing what it should be doing which is why I gave it 4stars. I'm not dissatisfied. One note of caution on this though: Almost every part of this pump that I interfaced with appeared to be cheap, wires, cap, safety line holes... There is not much more that you touch when you are installing a well pump. If what I could see appeared to be this cheap I am worried that the rest of the pump is chincy as well. Just a note of caution.

Installed july 2023. Added check valve to pump and drilled 1/8" bleed hole per directions. Installed down to 226 ft with torque arrestor on 1 1/4" line. Got 24 gallons per minute flow at well head. installed Barrett Pump Stop 1" Plastic Valve - 50# just before the check valve going into the pressure tank to control pump stopping too quickly. So far working great! I get all the water I need. My well produces prodigious amounts of water. I plan to tee off the tank line to feed irrigation on the land next spring. I'll check back in the future to add any comments on performance issues I encounter. 1/25/2025

This has lasted over a year and is running strong. It sits at 140ft and keeps up with the garden being watered and taking a shower at the same time. It is hard to beat for the price. Now this thing is really heavy and is my only complaint. Will order another for a backup incase of lightning or anything else.

The pump appeared to be well made. Installation was easy. I was happy with the rope attachment size even though some were not. I bought this some time ago and just got around to installing it. It performs as advertised and very accurate to the charts provided for flow. I have not had time to gauge the longevity, but I see no reason for that to be a problem as its working great. I am very happy with a pump without a control box. When ordering your pump pay close attention to the chart for pump sizing mine was right on the edge between one and two horsepower and I think I bought one a bit too large. My bad not theirs. Their customer support was immediate with a couple of questions I had.
