Why it matters
The RJS-100-PREM is the 1 HP model in Red Lion's premium cast iron line, rated up to 23 GPM with 65 psi maximum pressure and 150 ft of head. It includes a factory-set 30/50 pressure switch and gauge.
It draws 17.6 A at 115 V or 8.8 A at 230 V, so 230 V is the better choice where available.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Larger homes
- Irrigation from a shallow well
- Wells to 25 ft
Look elsewhere if
- Wells deeper than about 25 ft
- Homes without a pressure tank
- Owners who won't prime the pump
Pros and cons
Pros
- 23 GPM
- Switch and gauge
- Cast iron
Cons
- 17.6 A at 115 V
- Shallow wells only
- Priming needed
Limitations to weigh
- Check whether your circuit is 115 V or 230 V before ordering; many well pumps are wired for 230 V.
- Prime the pump casing with water before the first start; jet pumps can't lift water until they're primed.
