Features
This Hallmark Industries pump is designed for industrial-grade heavy-duty, but it is also one of the best submersible well pump to be used at home. You can install this unit in wells with a diameter bigger than 5 inches. As this pump is designed as a submersible item, you don’t need to prime it. It is worth mentioning that this product comes at a very reasonable price compared to other similar units.
A plus of this device is that it has a built-in control box, which means that you don’t require an external control box. You will probably agree that it is very convenient not to use an outer control box. Another advantage of this pump is that it is made of stainless steel, and it has a heavy-duty cast iron or stainless discharge.
Yet another useful feature of this item is that it is equipped with a capacitor start motor which is intended to provide a more powerful start. The pump and the 2-wired motor are a complete set, and all you need is a pressure switch. Another benefit of the high-efficiency engine is that it is hermetically sealed. In addition to this, it is thermally protected to prevent overheating and to ensure the long life of the pump. Despite being quite powerful, the motor of this unit operates quietly.
You won’t need to buy a power cord separately, as this device comes with one which is 10 inches long. Moreover, the pump is also equipped with heavy-duty thermoplastic impellers, diffusers, and intake screens. The impeller of this device is a patented one, and it is very efficient. Thanks to it, the unit has a flow rate of 35 GPM. In addition to this, the water gets delivered quickly. Keep in mind that this pump doesn’t come with a wire splice kit. You can either get one separately or use the electric tape and the waterproof tape kit that comes with it.
Another thing you should know is that you will need a pressure tank and a pressure switch. Thanks to the great volume of water that it delivers per hour, the tank of the unit gets pressurized very quickly. Of course, you are not obliged to get the switch, but then you will need to turn off the electricity to the pump every time when you are finished.
Installation
Before installing the pump, have a look at the wiring diagram, which should be on the control box cover. Since this is the so-called 2-wired model, then it should have three wires, one of which is the ground wire. You should make sure that the ground wire, which is marked with PE, is connected with the ground. The other two wires are hot.
Keep in mind that this pump is designed to be mounted vertically. If you install it upside down, the built-in check valve may stop working.
