Under Performs Specification On Pumping Head/depth

By C W

Arizona

Review Posted 04/16/2024

This pump let me down the claim in one place was 212' pumping depth, in another it was 231' and in another 200'. The one I installed certainly did not exceed 151'. That meant for me that it was useless. Great expense installing.

High Quality Pump And Control Box. Easy "like For Like" Change O

By David M.

Hope, Michigan

Purchased 11/04/2021 |

Review Posted 12/19/2021

Finally got pump back in well just before winter turned cold. Pump works great. Took a shower out in the glass shop and it was glorious. Very good pressure with the built in check valve. The electrician liked the combo control box matched with the pump. So far, so good. Well does not get used that often so we will see how it holds up. This is my fourth pump in 35 years. This is the first Red Lion. Looks good.

Surprising

By Victor C.

Gilbert, Louisiana

Purchased 10/26/2020 |

Review Posted 12/13/2020

Surprising how quickly it was delivered and the volume of water produced for a 1/2 hp pump. Very pleased with it so far. Only in operation for two weeks now, but no problems. If I am disappointed with it in the near future, will write another review.

Review Posted 10/26/2020

I can't give 5-star rating yet, because it's only been 2 weeks. So far so good. Install went smoothly, and it fired right up. Provides all the water I need. Hopefully I will be able to say the same for years to come.

I plan to replace a 30 yer old pump that is at 200 ft. and lower the new pump to 250 ft in a 400 ft deep well. Will I need to a check valve mid way up as well as at the well head?

I am converting from a jet pump to a submersible pump. I am installing a new pressure tank and am ordering a RL 12G05-3W2V pump from you. What else will I need for my conversion? Wire, etc? The pump specs say the outlet is 1 1/4". Is the water line that connects to the fitting 1"?

Paul F

Answer

Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. You will need wire and a torque arrestor (you will need to purchase locally) and depending on the depth of the pump installation, you might need a check valve. A splice kit is included with the pump for a water tight splice to your wiring off the pump. You can also check the pump OWNERS MANUAL for additional installation information. The connection on the pump discharge is 1-1/4" however you can add a 1-1/4" to 1" reducer if you prefer as long as your pressure tank is relatively close to the well head.

what parts are involved with submersible pumps that can fail and breakdown or if it doesn't work you just have to replace the entire pump?

Sal

from New York

January 22, 2014

Answer

When it comes to 2-wire deep well submersible pumps, the pump starting controls are located inside the pump. Any of these components can fail and cause the pump to become inoperable. By installing a 3-wire pump, those components would be located inside a CONTROL BOX, making repairs much easier when failure of these components are the cause of your pump not operating. Of course if the pump has failed due to burnt motor windings or some other cause, would would still need to pull and replace the pump, but you would have a better understanding of the pump status when the pump starting components are above ground as opposed to 50-500 feet or more, below ground.

Can a pump saver and a float switch be used with thiscontrol box that comes with the pump. Thanks

what is the purpose of the control box and can it be eliminated?

Armand

from Ohio

July 09, 2012

Answer

Three wire submersible motors require a control box. Control boxes contain a starting relay, starting capacitors and in some cases overload protectors. Two wire submersible motors have these components built into them and do not require a control box.

One benefit of using a three wire motor with a control box is that some of the components that are subject to failure are located above ground where you can get to them without pulling the pump.

Control boxes should never be mounted in direct sunlight or in locations that are extremely hot, this causes the capacitor life to be shortened and can cause nuisance overload trips. Do not mount the control box in a humid location such as a damp well pit since voltage breakdown and corrosion will accelerate component failure in this condition.

Control boxes are designed for vertical, upright mounting only. Any other position will affect the operation of voltage sensing relays in larger sizes and may result in water leakage.
