Pros
- Stainless pump and motor housing resists corrosion in the well
- Floating stack impellers are built to shrug off sand
- Two-wire motor needs no control box
Cons
- Flow falls to 2 gpm with water 150 ft down, so it is for shallower wells
- The only current listing found is a third-party Amazon seller at a high price
- Pentair publishes no full-load amps or shutoff head
