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

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.

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 am using this in a river. I put mine inside of a 6 inch pvc casing with a screen on the bottom to prevent weeds from getting sucked in. this pump kicks A$$. I have 4 tripod sprinklers in my yard coming off of a 1 inch pvc manifold that is about 150 foot from the pump. It powers 4 tripod sprinklers like nothing, blasts water about 75 feet each sprinkler. It is important that you use a casing to cool the motor to prevent overheating that's what I did after talking to manufacturer before I even got started check youtube, the cool water gets pulled around the motor when the pump is running to cool the thermal transfer. I read 1 review where they stated the ground is to small and will burn the pump out. That is not true. the ground wire on a 220 volt motor carries no current and its sole purpose is to have a path to ground if the motor should ever short out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING A GFCI BREAKER AND TESTING IT. I did this by simply dropping the end of the 12 gauge extension cord into the water and it killed both legs of the 220 volt breaker. I do not know what the longevity of this pump is yet but will let you guys know in the future. mine has been running this for about 3 days now for extended periods of time and no problems yet. The pump is in the water about 40 inches and no cavitating at all. Update going on 2 months running twice a day for about 45 minutes and still going strong. "POWERFULL" I have to have 2 tripod sprinklers going at one time. With just one going it will knock the sprinkler over it has so much pressure. LOVE IT

the pump worked great for 10 hours, then suddenly quit working. I contacted the seller and left a detailed message with my phone number as they requested. I have not heard back from them at all. I would not recommend them as a reputable seller.

The pump has been running for 2 week now. So far so good. Pump arrived on time and well packaged. There are numerous warning in the package the need of installing the check valve. The installation manual is easy to follow and very thorough. I followed the manual and perform every test recommended. Check for ground shorting on the electrical cable where it is spliced. I did not use the Sta-Kon connectors provided. I soldered the splice and wrapped it with electrical tapes before covered it in heat sink tube. I did not use the heat sink tube provided because it is too big. Test run the pump to ensure it running. I filled the trash can with water to the brim and drop in the pump. Make sure water is up to the neck of the pump. For me, the most difficult part of the installation is to insert the barbs to the drop pipe. I used the extensive long steel barb which allow me to put three steel clamp on it. At first I used the propane torch to heat the pipe up and try to insert the barb but failed twice because of un-even heating of the pipe. I finally succeeded inserting the barbs when heating the pipe with boiling water. I used a Pex expander to expand the pipe enough to insert the barb initially. Then dipped them into a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, pull them out then hammering the barb in using the rubber mallet. It took 3 try to complete the insertion. This task required two people. The only complain that I have is the electrical cable of the pump motor. They use a twisted 18 gauges wire. It looks so flimsy. it should be 14 gauges solid wires like the old pump that died after 12 years of usage. I use this well pump for irrigation only. My system have a pressurized tank. Make sure you check the tank pressure and set it accordingly with the pump pressure switch setting. my pump pressure switch is 30-50 psi. So I set the tank baffle pressure at 28 psi. 2 psi below the low value of the pump pressure switch. Once the pump running, make sure to check the pump cycle time. Pump running time must equal pump resting time. If pump ran for 2 minutes to reach the cut off PSI then pump must rest for 2 minutes before restarting. I ended up to set the pump running continuously for 30 minutes for each irrigation zone then resting for 30 minute before starting the next zone. It seem to work well so far. I believed my old pump burn out because its cycle time was off badly. I am happy if this one last for another 5 years . It's only 125 bucks.

Sill going strong

We have a 260ft drilled well that was drilled in 1980 by previous owner. The coulda 7gs05 series 1/2hp pump that was in there decided to quit about 2 weeks during our subfreezing Maine winter. The pump is about about 160ft down. I made up a pitless adapter puller tool and decided to try pulling the old pump myself. Only took me a couple of hours to pull by hand and determine that I needed a new pump. I didnt want to spend $700 on a new goulds pump so I read reviews on the cheaper pumps and compared specs to my old pump and this 1hp hallmark pump is what I felt most comfortable with buying. Ordered on a Saturday and it was here Monday with free shipping....SUPER IMPRESSIVE!!!! After checking it out I could clearly see why some people complained about the size of the ground wire. I'm sure the pump chassis actually grounds through the water in the well but i still chose to replace the ground with I think 10ga or 12ga wire before installing. First thing I noticed with this pump is that it feels and looks like its made really solid. Installing it was very easy and straight forward. Dropped it down the well a litte ways to test before dropping it the full 160ft and only problem i encountered was my drop line had froze. Got that cleared and dropped it full depth and turned it on before hooking pitless adapter back down just to clear the line and make sure it was still in working order. When they claim 33gpm I think they underrated this thing because within a matter of maybe 3 minutes it dropped the water level in my 6" well shaft by about 100'. Its a beast. I'm sure it wont last as long as a $700 pump but if I can get a cpl years out of it ill be happy. I plan on buying another one just to keep for a back up. Very very happy with price, quality, and shipping!

I've had this pump installed for about 4 months and I highly recommend it to anyone that is considering a submersible. I replaced a 1/2hp, 110V above ground unit with this beauty. I choose this unit as a result of the positive reviews and value. Products with similar reviews were significantly more expensive and it has turned out to be a very good decision to go with the Hallmark pump. This is the first submersible pump that I've ever installed and I did a lot of studying to make sure I was ready for the task. It turns out that the instructions provided with the unit are really adequate for doing the installation without a lot of experience or studying up front. My approach was to do a lot of assembly work in advance of cutting off the old system. This included preparing for the electrical change over to 220V before doing the installation. As a result of all of the preparation, I was able to convert from the old system to the new system in about 5 hours. The house was able to run on the water in the accumulator for the entire period that the water was shut down, which makes the occupants very happy. I can't comment on how well the pump will work over the long haul yet, but I am thrilled with the performance that has been demonstrated so far. It moves an incredible amount of water (~30gal/min) and my pressure settings are 60psi off/40psi on. You will not be disappointed with this pump.

I was concerned purchasing a pump with this super low price point, and its longevity is yet to be determined. I've only had the pump installed for a few weeks and it's not used daily, but I'm hoping it lasts for a few years. Shipping was very fast. The unit was packaged well. My particular installation is in a lake, so I had to build a pump stand and sleeve out of 4-inch PVC pipe. Because of the wiring conduit on the outside of the unit, going through a 4 inch tee was very tight. If it were all 4 inch pipe it would have been fine. I'm using a Cycle Stop Valve and was able to get the pump to push a constant 70PSI at the valve. The pump is about 80 feet from the pressure tank setup. From there it goes through 1 inch pipe up a steep hill to my hose bib which is roughly 125 feet of pipe. Pressure at the bib suffers a bit of line loss, but the pump has been strong so far while watering my lawn for 3 or 4 hours at a time. Update: October 2021 - Still strong after 3 summers. I pull it out of the lake every autumn. It's quite rusty and ugly, but who cares? This summer I added 3 large impact sprinklers and a lot of hose. Maintains pressure like a champ while running all three simultaneously.

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

Excellent!! 👍👍👍

Working as it should. Only been 3 months but it's working well and lots of water pressure.

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.
