- Stainless pump shell holds up in the well for years
- Two-wire motor needs no control box above ground, so installation is simpler
- Built-in check valve and suction screen save buying them separately
- Only about 6 gpm at 200 ft of head, so it suits shallower wells
- Shuts off at 212 ft of head, too little for deep wells or high pressure settings
- Red Lion does not say what the impellers are made of
