Buen equipo funciona bien

It worked very well for pumping low pressure water into our RV for almost1 year. The manufacturer shipped a new one to replace it which is very nice. The warranty is one year and we're lucky to call the warranty days before the warranty expired.The pump is built very sturdy. But because we live in a salty humid climate, the electric wiring connectors corroded so the pump dies prematurely. If you happen to live in a similar climate as we do, you can use silicone to seal the electric connections, and the pump should last a lot longer.

Very pleased with this pump. I have it connected to my rain harvesting system and use it to provide water for my drip irrigation system. The pump kicks on and off instantly when the timer asks for water. I also use a hose with a shower nozzle and the pressure is great just like being connected to city water. I mounted the pump, pressure tank, filter and switch inside a plastic tote so they are protected from the elements. Connected both the pump inlet and outlet with standard 1/2" NPT to 1/2" GHT fittings and use a standard garden hose connection on both sides. This is an awesome setup works very well for pressurizing the rain irrigation system.

I have an artesian well on my property that produces about 7 gallons per minute, but only at about 4 to 6 PSI. 4-6 PSI is enough to flush toilets and wash hands with unfiltered water, but it's not enough to run a shower or force water in any real volume through a 4 stage filtration system (my filter system is 4 separate units that are 200 micron -> 50 micron -> 30 micron -> 5 micron filter). To get a traditional well pump installed, it was going to cost around $6,000, AND I was going to loose the ability to use the well without the pump. So, I decided to take a chance with this little pump ($79 at the time I bought it) to see if that was enough to boost the pressure to suitable levels. Short answer - YES IT IS!!!Quick Comment: This looks about like an RV pump, of which I have installed/worked on several over the years, but this one feels way heavier duty than any of those I've ever worked with, so thumbs up there.Setup Details: I used 1/2 inch pex tubing for my water system, and using the basic 1/2 inch NPT adapters from Home Depot, this pump hooked up to that system easily. These are STRAIGHT threads, I read, so I was pretty generous with the plumbing/teflon tape. Everything went together easily, no leaks, no hassles. I installed it along with the matching Surflo/Pentair accumulator tank (basically a super-small pressure tank), and with a couple of strategically placed pressure gauges so I could monitor what the system was doing. I also installed some valves so I could switch back and forth between pump pressure and artesian pressure, and also allowed me to isolate the pump/filter system for working on it. That setup worked fine, but with the tiny little pressure tank, the pump (obviously) ran every time we used the water for more than a few seconds, which got annoying. I was otherwise so happy with the setup, that I went ahead and dropped $150 at HomeDepot on a 20 gallon WaterWorks pressure tank, and that totally did the trick. With the larger pressure tank, the pump only kicks on after a tap has been run for around 2 minutes (long time).So all in, counting the pressure tank, I'm at $229, which is a heck of a lot nicer than $6,000 the well pump guy quoted me!!! And, if the power goes out (happens sometimes, I'm in a very rural area), I can flip some valves and still flush toilet/wash hands/etc with the artesian pressure.Pressure notes: Setup from the factory, the pump kicked on at 19 PSI and off at 40 PSI. 19PSI on the low side was still lower than I was happy with, so I turned the adjustment screw until it now kicks on at about 28 PSI and kicks off at 50 PSI. That's plenty for my uses, and 50PSI is already above the factory stated spec, so I did not try to get it adjusted any higher.Volume notes: the specs say this does around 3GPM, and that seems about right. If I watch the pressure gauge on the unpressurized side of the line while the pump is running, it does not drop it all the way to 0 PSI, just down to around 1PSI (with some bounce in the needle), indicating that there is still more water it could draw if it were pushing faster. As I noted above, the well itself puts out about 7GPM, so the pump is not exceeding the well output, just adding pressure, which is exactly what I wanted.Cons: The only con, is that this thing is louder than you really want running right next to you in your house (which happens to be where mine is installed, because that's where the water line comes in). Don't get me wrong, it's quieter than a jet-pump type system, certainly, but it's still louder than "quiet". I have it mounted on a wall, which doesn't help, as the slight vibration of the pump slightly vibrates the wall board, which amplifies the noise. So, in my 3rd iteration of he setup (probably going to do that this weekend), I'm going to bore some holes in the concrete floor and bolt the pump down to that, which should isolate it so the only noise is just the pump noise.Oh, I should also mention, that this pump runs very cool, which surprised me. The docs say it can get very hot, but even running for several minutes straight, it barely gets warm to the touch. I'm not sure how long/hard you'd have to run it to cause problems, but definitely way longer/harder than I have (probably the longest run was about 5 minutes).So in summary, I like this pump a lot - it saved me about $5700, and does everything I want it to do. Thumbs up!

I'm using this pump to wash a vehicle where there is no plumbed water, using a 55 gallon drum for a water supply. I connected it using the Shurflo 50 mesh strainer (part # 255-313) to filter out debris. The pump works great for this purpose. It's not as much pressure as my home, but totally acceptable for washing a vehicle. My only complaint is the non standard fittings required to connect to the pump, and the lack of availability of these fittings. I hunted around a lot, and finally called Shurflo to figure out which fittings were the same thread. I was told any of the 234-xxxx or 244-xxxx fittings are the same thread as this pump, as well as the strainer I listed above. I finally found fittings for a reasonable price on e**y. I got the 5/8" straight fittings for the pump, and cut a short 5/8" ID garden hose to connect everything. The only thing I would do different is to get the 3/4" fittings. The 5/8" fittings have a 3/8" inside diameter, which creates a bit of a bottleneck, since it's a 1/2" pump. I assume the 3/4" fittings would be 1/2" ID, and eliminate the bottleneck.

I scoured the internet for realistic performance specifications on this pump but could find none. I was looking to determine if this pump could be used to supply a small pressure washer. Finally ended up taking the risk and ordering. I want to set it up with a 30 gallon tank I have for a garage pressure washer system where I have no water in the garage. I hooked it up today. Have it connected to the tank via a 3/4 inch 18 inch long supply line. I connected with the shurflow 90 degree connectors. I installed the shurflow filter screen in the supply line to protect the pump. On the outlet side I connected a 3/4 inch garden hose. Then started the pump. First it was nice to see that while it is not listed anywhere there is a back flow check valve in the pump housing so built up pressure did not push back through the pump into the holding tank. Good news. The pump pumped nicely from the tank. In my setup the pump is installed at the base of the holding tank so there is no lift. It is gravity feed to pump. Next step was to determine volume. It took 1.88 minutes to fill a 5 gallon pail which means the pump delivers about 2.659 gallons per minute through the 50 foot 3/4 in. garden hose. Obviously I am not lifting the water at all. So any lift I think would reduce the volume. Finally it was time to test the pressure washer. I hooked up an old Campbell hausfeld 1500psi electric pressure washer. I first made sure all the air was out of the garden hose. Fired up the pressure washer and squeezed the handle. IT WORKED!!! It actually worked well. The pump seemed to cycle on and off with no problem. The pressure washer literature says it delivers 1.5 gallons per minute out. It says it needs 5gallons per minute going in. But the pump seemed to be able to deliver all that was needed. So for feeding a small pressure water it appears this pump will work well. As far as running a sprayer off the end of the garden hose without the pressure washer, this pump would be less than ideal. There is not enough volume.Overall I'm pleased. I deducted a star because it is not delivering the 3.3 gallons per minute I found in the specs for this pump. Probably due to the friction loss in the garden hose. It does work on 110v as advertised. Ideally I should look for something with more volume. But I like the fact that this style pump can be run dry without damage, so I'll keep it just in case the tank runs dry. If interested the 30gallon tank with the pump and 1500 psi washer seemed to deliver around 35 minutes of usable continuous pressure washer time. More than enough time to wash my truck and siding on the front of my garage. So I believe this pump will make my garage pressure washing system work fine. I'm going to add the water worker 2 gallon pressure tank to my system so the pump does not need to cycle so much, I'll probably also add a pressure gauge to the system. So if you are looking for an on demand pump to feed a small pressure washer from a tank, this pump does seem to do the trick. We will see how it holds up over the long haul.
