Why it matters

Wayne ships the SWS75 factory wired for 120 V with a dual 120/240 V square-flange motor, a 3/4 in NPT discharge and a 1-1/4 in suction on a cast iron volute. Wayne rates it at up to 468 gph at 5 ft of depth.

Who it's for, and who should skip it

Good fit if

Shallow wells up to 25 ft
Lake or cistern draws
Owners replacing a tired 3/4 HP jet pump

Look elsewhere if

Wells deeper than 25 ft
Homes without a pressure tank

Pros and cons

Pros

3/4 HP cast iron volute
Dual 120/240 V motor
3-year limited warranty

Cons

Shallow wells only
Needs priming
Tank sold separately

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.
