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.

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!

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.

This pump came very well packaged. Styrofoam surround and double heavy duty cardboard box. Also came with a roll of waterproof tape and a roll of teflon tape,.and 3 marine grade butt splices(these were useless and terrible quality) but they were free. Buy your own 3m splices. Install was pretty straightforward. I had to disconnect the motor from pump to change out the pitiful ground wire. This should be done first. I have never seen a company use such a tiny ass ground wire like this. That will cause this pump to burn up within a week. This process is simple. Undo the wire holder on the side with the two little bars(2 screws) remove that wire bar and the screen that surrounds the pump intake. You will see two screws holding the waterproof wire topper down. Unscrew the 4 bolts that hold the motor and pump together. You will need a 13mm wrench. Carefully separate the two parts and set the other piece aside. Now Unscrew the wire holder that is holding that laughable ground wire. Put yourself at least a 14 gauge wire(preferable green), in a ring terminal and crimp it down. I also used a tiny bit of shrink wrap over that. Reassemble the pump to the motor with the 4 screws and tighten them down. Now carefully put the wire intake screen back on making sure not to pinch any of the wires. Then put the wire holder back on with the two clips. Next it's time for testing, because who wants to do all that work to install a pump only to find out you got a dud? The simplest way I did it was to put it in a 5 gallon bucket and temporarily wire nut the wires and flip the breaker on to see if it turned on. Mine automatically self primed itself and water started spraying out. Perfect. I turned off the power, unscrewed the wire nuts, and threw this bad boy in my aerator tank to replace a 1HP Goulds pump that was 8 years old and had died. Now it was just a matter of connecting the power wires and the plumbing. This was accomplished with ease. The top of the pump output has a dry plastic cap to keep the testing water inside during shipping, remove this. Then you will want to purchase a PVC 1 1/4 male screw to female slip adapter. Make sure to use plenty of teflon tape on the threads the first time, because there isn't any going back to add more teflon after you glue this up, without cutting this entire thing and starting all over again. Next dryfit your plumbing pipes, elbows, couplers etc. Once you have it how you like it, draw alignment marks on the piping so it's easier when you're in a hurry to reassemble it after you glue it. It's a piece of cake to line up the marks and you're done. Let the glue dry for a couple hours before pressure testing the system too. For the power to this pump I had the 3 wire pump(2 hots and a ground). My last pump was the same way so it was just a matter of matching up hot to hot and ground to ground. I wire nutted the wires together wrapped them in electrical tape and filled up the other side of the wrapped wires with silicone to keep out the water. Hope these directions make it easier to install for people that have no mechanical know how. I will update if anything happens or the pump dies. Also be sure to keep that sticker with your serial number on it. No sticker, no serial number, no fixy from the factory.

Bought one and installed it a year ago. So far so good. I bought the Identical pump on Amazon for a spare. Always want to be prepared and no waiting on a new one if needed. Great price too

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

Sill going strong

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

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

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!! 👍👍👍
