Can this pump be mounted horizontally ? I want to use it to pump water from a shallow 4-5 ft deep spring pond.

Answer
Yes it can. ONLY the 1/2HP pumps can be installed horizontally. Just make sure that you read ALL instructions and the pump is sized properly for your application.

Answer
Yes, it does. This should actually be a pretty standard feature that should come with any submersible deep well pump.

I have read that this pump utilizes a Franklin motor, is this true?
Ken K.

Answer
Red Lion, while a division of Franklin Electric, does NOT use a Franklin motor on their deep well pumps. The Red Lion Deep Well Pumps include a VHC motor which is also a division of Franklin Electric. Little Giant Deep Well Pumps, on the other hand, are also a division of Franklin Electric and DO include the Franklin motor.

I plan to replace a 30 yer old pump that is at 200 ft. and lower the new pump to 250 ft in a 400 ft deep well. Will I need to a check valve mid way up as well as at the well head?
Ken G

Answer
Most submersible deep well pumps include a built-in check valve at the discharge port of the pump and It is recommended that additional spring loaded in-line check valves be installed in the drop pipe @ 200ft intervals only.

Does this pump require a separate control box?
Robert B
from Alaska
November 03, 2014
Answer
2-wire deep well submersible pumps do NOT require a separate control box as the pump starting component (start capacitor, relay and overload) are located inside the pump, not inside the control box. 3-wire pumps are the only pumps that require a separate control box as the pump starting components are then located inside the control box.

Does this pump have a grounding wire beside the two hot wires?
Dan S
from New York
August 17, 2013
Answer
Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. The Red Lion model RL12G07-2W2V, like any other 2-Wire deep well pump, would have two line voltage wires and one ground wire so you would have three wires total.
