Q: I need to replace an irrigation pump that draws from a lake. Existing pump motor is a Baldor Industrial Cat. No. JL1323A. 3HP 230V 13amps 3450 rpm 60HZ 1phase. The setup is outside which leaves it exposed to the elements of Texas weather.
by Vernon Whisenhunt from Texas on July 04, 2016
A: Vernon,
All pumps that we sell here are going to need a vented housing for the Sprinkler and well pumps.
Before I can answer your question, I would need to know the following:
Total head (suction & discharge lift)-
Total pumping distance from the water source to the pump and from the pump to the furthest sprinkler head-
Piping diameter on your suction and discharge (if already laid)-
Total GPM & PSI requirements-
Once you can provide this information, I'll be happy to assist you further.

Product Is Excellent Once Pump Was Freed Up
The pump and motor were frozen when I received the pump. I was able to grab the motor shaft and free it up. Now the pump works great.
Pros:Quiet, I'd Buy It Again, Durable, Reliable
Cons:Frozen shaft when received

Construction Project
Love it. Works great. Used for about 2 months and using for construction project.
Pump was delivered promptly and so far has met all expectations. The one SIGNIFICANT issue was the fact that the 3hp motor (single phase) came with wiring instructions that made the pump run backwards. Given that the motor direction was hard to determine as it is almost totally concealed and that there were no instructions as to how to reverse the motor direction, we wasted most of a day trying to get the thing to work properly. A ten minute call the following Monday morning had it all straightened out.
My complaint is that the seller KNOWS that Baldor motors typically come with wiring instructions that cause this problem and include NOTHING to give the installer direction on how to remedy it. Simply include alternate wiring instructions with the pump.
Also the pump design has the motor mounting plate approximately 3/4" higher than the pump housing, forcing the installer to create an elevated mount, but also the cast iron pump housing has a flat machined on its bottom that would appear to be intended to set on the floor, but it also has two tapped holes in it that would indicate that it might be a mount as well. No one at the pump manufacturer seemed to have a clue about actual physical mount instructions other than bolt it down. Not even a photo is available on the internet showing the pump actually installed, so it is left to your imagination.
Thanks you.

Completely Satisfied
Unsurpassed Made in U.S.A. Quality and fellow American technical support. This pump runs smooth, quiet, and strong. I expect it will still be running years beyond my time on this property. I wish I had bought this pump years ago, it would have saved me time, money, and maddening hassle. I am hauling the foreign made junk to the metal recycler.
Pros:Quiet, Price, High Quality, I'd Buy It Again

"I had excellent help with making the correct selection for my application before the purchase and I had excellent help from technical support making the correct installation after it arrived. Awesome."
Water Pumps Direct Exactly Did What They Agreed To Do
I saved a 1/3 on the price versus local suppliers here in Dallas, plus no sales tax and shipping included. I installed the pump to pull water out of the lake for my sprinkler system within 24 hours and it works great. I thank you and my grass thanks you.
