Red Lion 3/4 HP Deep Well Submersible Pump (2-Wire 230V)

Been installed for a couple weeks now and pressure & flow numbers presented in specs seem to. Be accurate. I will have to wait and see about long term reliability. To note, though there is no specific mention of using a Franklin electric motor anywhere in the literature (just says "industry standard motor"), the wires running from the motor on my pump did say Franklin Electric (though the motor casing did not have any such markings). Id be willing to bet uts a Franklin Electric motor. Mine was built in Mexico.

Went to flush the toilet, and I thought some one shut off the pump. When I opened the sanitary seal at the top of the well, I found the fitting on toe top of the pipe was leaking and the old pump never shut off and had burned it self out. I hunted on the web and ordered a Red Lion 3/4. Installation was a snap. I replaced the fitting with brass at the top of the pipe, flipped the switch, now I can flush the toilet again.

Pump worked fine until this week, then started having problems now today am getting just a tickle of water not even enough to build up pressure. That means we will have to shower at neighbors and haul water for other uses, will also have to pay to have pump pulled and replaced.

My water pump went out and I called my repairman. He happened to have a used one on his truck to get me by. His price for a pump of the same size was $600.00 plus installation. I looked on your site and found this one for almost half price. I had him put the pump in and so far it has worked fine. good pressure and and good price. it has been in for about 3 weeks now and no problems. time will tell the true story. All in all, I am satisfied with the purchase and have my repairman is just waiting to see if it holds up and if it does, he will be using the Red Lion product too.

My current pump was acting up, tripping the breaker frequently. I had done some online research and came across this pump brand that I had not heard of before. After reading some reviews and data on the components I chose the Red Lion. Had a local well drilling business help me install it. The only thing that was mentioned about the pump is that I apparently did not need a 3/4 hp motor, since my well was measured at about 30 ft. But so far so good, no problems. It has been in about a month. Happy with it so far.

Price was less than other brands and it has a 3yr warranty which is more that others I compared it to. Also I found out there was no torque arrestor on my water line, which apparently was the reason for the failure of the Goulds pump that was in the well. It looked like the end cap of the motor was coming apart due to impact against the well casing and water was entering the motor. A splicing kit is included with the pump for the wiring. Labor cost was about $150.00 to install.

It will take 2 people to make the removal of the old pump and water line easier and the installer recommended not leaving pipe screwed into the pitman fitting if it will corrode later on. That would leave you with possible broken threads in the fitting and no way to screw in a pipe to remove the line in the future. mine was galvanized and fairly corroded when it was pulled out.

So at this point all is working well so far. Will wait to see if any problems develop, but it seems like a decently made product.

The pump seems to work fine. Only three weeks old, but good volume. The attachment between the motor and pump is a VERY weak spot in the design. Should be some heaver type product. Price was right, will have to evaluate long term..

Last pump was installed in 95, replaced pump but used old motor, replaced whole unit this year, Hope this one lasts as long.

I replaced the well pump by myself without buying any tools. It was a real pain. It's been running just fine and I am very satisfied.

The pump came in time to get the water back on.

received pump exactly as stated. excellent salesman knowledge. very rare these days. easy to install everything worked perfectly.not a problem to date.customer satisfaction A +

regards,dt

Got it when I needed it the most.
