Q: In have 4 inch ID pvc well casing ..your product description says it will fit. What is the width of the pump? by Vince from Indiana on June 16, 2016
A: The width of these pumps average 3.90" and WILL fit inside a 4" well casing. If you have any other questions, please let me know. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: 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? by Ken G from California on July 27, 2015
A: 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. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: can I used this pump with 220 volt power instead of 230 volt? Is the 3rd wire a ground wire? by Moises from California on September 28, 2014
A: Yes, the Red Lion RL12G05-2W2V can be wired to 220 or 230 volts. The 2-wire pumps do include a ground wire so it is technically a 3 wire pump. "3-wire" deep well pumps are technically a 4 wire pump, including the ground. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: what guage wire should be run to this pump if set at two hundred feet by Billy from West Virginia on June 22, 2014
A: Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. Information on the wiring gauge based on the distance for all Red Lion pumps can be found on page 3 of the OWNER'S MANUAL. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: what parts are involved with submersible pumps that can fail and breakdown or if it doesn't work you just have to replace the entire pump? by Sal from New York on January 22, 2014
A: When it comes to 2-wire deep well submersible pumps, the pump starting controls are located inside the pump. Any of these components can fail and cause the pump to become inoperable. By installing a 3-wire pump, those components would be located inside a CONTROL BOX, making repairs much easier when failure of these components are the cause of your pump not operating. Of course if the pump has failed due to burnt motor windings or some other cause, would would still need to pull and replace the pump, but you would have a better understanding of the pump status when the pump starting components are above ground as opposed to 50-500 feet or more, below ground. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Does this pump have a grounding wire beside the two hot wires? by Dan S from New York on August 17, 2013
A: 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. by Jim, Product Expert
It was my first time changing a deep well pump. It was 204 ft. deep and almost went back down into place by it self. I had to keep my hand on the pipe so it would not go too fast. The connections supplied worked very good. It has been working for over two weeks now.
Pump comes complete with waterproof connectors. Only additional pieces I had to buy were a 1 1/4" to 1" reduction bushing with NPT threading and some wire ties. Since I was replacing a pump of the same size installation in my rain water collector cistern was easy after emptying the cistern of 3200 gal of water.
Only hiccup came after I installed the pump and turned it on the first time. NO WATER SERVICE to house or outside faucets. Removed pump from line and ran it unconnected to see if it was actually working. Great flow from pump head so I re-installed it. Have had great water service since and better water pressure that before. Pump has a Franklin motor as did my old pump that lasted almost 20 years. Hoping for that kind of service from this pump as well.
Installation instructions are very clear but do not mention running water through the pump before installing.

Pump Works Great
The pump arrived about two weeks ago and arrived in only 3 days. The installation was uneventful. Everything we needed was in the box. So far the pump delivers everything we need. We have a lawn irrigation system with 4 heads on each zone, and this pump is more than adequate at keeping up. Of course, here in New Hampshire there is a lot of iron sediment in the water, so the real test will be how long it will hold up under some pretty adverse conditions.
Pros:Price, Exceeded Expectations, I'd Buy It Again, High Quality

Eric,
I’m sorry to hear of the problem you are experiencing with your pump. In order to get a warranty replacement, please call Little Giant tech support at 888-956-0000 to have them troubleshoot the pump for you. If they verify that the pumps is indeed defective, call or email us and supply the name of the tech you spoke to and the diagnosis (other than just defective). We will then be happy to assist you further.
Been running good for a year with a 80 ft lift lots of volume, it's nice to have good pressure at the top of the house. I like it so well I bought another for a spare. Hooking it up and installing was a nonevent it was so easy. Lots of "How to" from the "site."
Old pump was failing so I started hitting the box stores and internet. This site was the cheapest by $56.
It is still early to see how the overall durability and quality stands for the pump has only been installed for a month and a half.

"Pump came in 3 days. Luckily I knew mine was failing so I had time to wait but still arrived a couple days sooner than expected."
We ordered the Red Lion 1/2 HP Deep Well as a replacement when our pump quit working it arrived in a timely manner, the order said it would arrive in 3 days and on the morning of the 3rd day it was delivered.
The pump has been in the well for 2 weeks and so far we are very pleased with the performance.
