Red Lion RL12G05-2W1V 4-inch Submersible Deep Well Pump, 1/2 HP, 12 GPM, 2-Wire, 115 Volt, Steel, 14942401

This was the pump I needed for my application. The quality looks very good. It came with the waterproof splice kit!!! (Follow instructions & seal with rubber tape)Not indicated in the description!!! The wires were long and stripped properly and sealed in the pump motor. I added a 3rd wire (green) for the ground and wound it in with my two conductor #12 twisted wire well cable. The pump works well and delivers the volume of water indicated. My well is approx. 100 ft deep and the pump is approx. 50 ft down. submerged 20 to 25 ft into the water. I used 1 1/4 to 1" Stainless reducer 1" poly pipe ( heat poly with a heat gun)and 3 stainless USA clamps top and bottom. I have had it in for only a couple of months!! My first and only pump lasted over 35 years. Maintaining the pressure switch reverse flow check valve and and the air tank in top condition is the secret to pump longevity. Do not use a pump with a required control box!!! The control boxes fail from corrosion , component failure and lightning. I do not use well water during lightning storms. When the pump reaches cut out pressure all power is disconnected by the pressure switch saving the pump in case of lightning strike. So far so good!!! ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!

This replaced a jet pump fir a well about 50 feet deep. Lowered it to about forty feet (water level was about 23 feet) and it gives good solid pressure to my system.

Easy to install and good quality

Purchased as a replacement for a 50yo franklin/goulds 3/4hp pump. Installed in well at a depth of 200ft. Pump (RedLion 3/4hp 2 wire pump) makes 15gpm at 200ft, and has more than enough pressure to support 40/60 pressure switch. Only downside i noticed is the nylon head, but for 1/3rd the price of a big name pump, not much to complain about.So far I've had it installed for a month, and it is working as it should with no issues. If any issues arise I will update the review, but for now I would say it is a good purchase.I dont expect to get 20+ years from it like with a goulds or grunfos pump, but if it last for at least 6-8 years, I would definitely purchase again. With that said, if my well was deeper and I was not able to pull the pump by hand, I'd have probably went with a goulds or grunfos, just for peace of mind. I would definitely recommend if you are on a budget and can easily pull your pump. If it ends up lasting at least 6-8 years, I would say that for the price, it is comparable to big name brands, only time will tell.**EDIT** It is now the end of April, which means the pump has been installed for nearly 4.5 month. I'm happy to announce that it has been running strong with no issues so far! I would highly recommend this pump for anyone on a budget!

Quality submersible well pump. These are good for home or industrial use.

Purchased in November 2023, and it stopped working in February 2025. I’m currently reaching out to the warranty department. I’ll update this review based on how the company handles the situation.

I read that this might be a better brand than the ones sold in local big box stores for a reasonable price, I hope that's so. It replaces a Gould that ran for 24 years, but to replace with the same would have cost me 2x-3x the price. If it lasts even half as long it will be worth the money but only time will tell. The waterproof splice kit was included and worked well. It's been pumping perfectly for the last few weeks.

We bought this to replace a Franklin well pump two and a half months ago. Did the replacement myself and I've had no problems since.NOTE:I bought the wrong pump.This pump has two "hot" wires and a ground (two black, one green), my old pump had two "hot" wires and a negative (one red, one yellow, one black). The circuitry to control the pump is built into the motor so you do NOT need a control box. Having an existing control box, had to redo the existing wiring in my home to bypass the control box circuitry for the hots and and then connect the "negative" wire directly to ground. It worked like a champ.Great pressure with a 100' drop. Popped the old pump off, bought a brass pipe attachment, threaded it on with thread sealer, used the included wire splice kit to create a waterproof electrical connection, then taped the wire to the pipe as it went back into the well.I will be buying another one (or two!) of these to have on hand in case of emergencies. Great, solid product. Its hard to believe sometimes that this piece of machinery is 100' in the ground doing all that work of moving water for us. Trust me, there isn't a better deal out there for the quality OR the price.Just be clear which one you want; This one, or the "three wire" variant.
