Pros and cons
Pros
- 14.1 gpm
- Gauge and switch included
- Dual 115/230 V
Cons
- Thermoplastic and stainless build
- Shallow wells only
- Needs priming
Limitations to weigh
- Well pumps usually need a licensed installer, the right wire size and a pressure tank sized to the pump.
- Prime the pump casing with water before the first start; jet pumps can't lift water until they're primed.
- Check whether your circuit is 115 V or 230 V before ordering; many well pumps are wired for 230 V.
