Why it matters
The RJS-75-PREM steps up to 3/4 HP and up to 16 GPM, enough for a typical family home on a shallow well. Like the rest of the premium range, it has a cast iron casing and volute, a 30/50 switch and gauge, 65 psi maximum pressure and 150 ft of head.
It draws 14.4 A at 115 V or 7.2 A at 230 V; select the voltage to match your supply.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Family homes
- Wells to 25 ft
- Replacing a 3/4 HP jet pump
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
- 16 GPM
- Switch and gauge
- Three-year warranty
Cons
- Shallow wells only
- Priming needed
- Higher draw on 115 V
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.
