Pros
  • 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
Cons
  • 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
