Flotec FP4022 - 12 GPM 3/4 HP Thermoplastic Shallow Well Jet Pump (115V/230V)

I'm using this pump to supply water throughout my house, which is does with gusto, yet nearly silently.

It came with simple, clear and easy to follow installation and electrical set up directions and diagrams, which is always a plus.

In reading others reviews I saw many folks mentioning a need for lots of sealant or teflon tape for the inlet and outlet fittings. My personal recommendation is that even if you're plumbing the pump w/PVC or CPVC piping, use a galvanized Close Nipple at the inlet (1-1/4") and outlet fittings (1") and then adapt it to the PVC piping. The PVC fittings simply do not have enough taper on the treads like metal fittings, which makes sealing these openings, shall we say .... problematic.

With this slight adaptation this pump works great, was a snap to set up and install, and yes, I'd definitely recommend it!

Good product I used 1-1/4" sch 80 grey PVC nipple going into the intake (Just cut a 8" grey sch 80 nipple in half and use one side .) I used 3 - 1"Galvanized nipples and Galvanized T fitting into the the top of pump. About 3- 4 winds of Teflon tape and pipe dope on all threaded ends. I allowed water to fill the pump impeller from city a city valve. Ran like a charm shuts of and on as listed. From the well its 3/4 pvc for 500ft up hill I can run 4 low flow sprinklers and a soaker hose. (Just be careful to tighten nipples only till they stop about 1/2 inch into pump.) Also be careful not to suck up any debris into the wet end side or you will have to remove the motor and clear the impeller and small venturi opening about the size of a pencil. Great shallow well pump for the price..

Received the pump in about a week. Had troubles with it out of the box. After diagnosing the problem with tech support (capacitor issue) I then sent tags in and received a new pump a week later. All up and running now pump seems to perform as good as a 3/4 HP should. I'm using it to water a fairly large yard from the lake and push water quite a distance. It'll work with 2 large Gilmour pulsating heads in the back yard. In the front yard (250' away) will power 1 oscillating sprinkler and 2 smaller nelson pulsating heads. Gets the job done good!! But maybe should have bought a little larger pump for the job I'm doing. So I could run a couple more sprinklers at the same time
