Q: Hey Jim, I have a old windmill that I pulled the rusted pump out to find out how deep it was. Total depth is 32ft. You can see water about 10-15ft down. I had used a small 12volt sub pump and retrieved over 100gal. I don't have elect. except for a 1000watt inverter or 12volt. The little pump didn't last. Can you suggest a pump that I can use that is more dependable? We are in the desert area of W. Texas near Terlingua. Also we don't go out very often so I would need to pull the pipe back out to take the pump back home.
Thanks, Russell by Russell Bell from Texas on April 01, 2011
A: You do not mention what you are using the water for. If it's for anything but drinking, the only possibility would be some of our 2" trash pumps. They have a maximum suction of 26 feet, so while you may not get to the bottom, you will reach the water. by Jose, Product Expert
This Wayne convertible jet pump has a few features that set it apart. It has a dedicated priming port for volute filling. It also has a durable cast iron volute. The pump is also made of durable cast iron.
This pump is designed for wells 0' to 90' deep and has a 3 year manufacturer warranty. The 3 year warranty gives you peace of mind for a year or two longer than the competitive models.
