Defective Pressure Switch
By Frederick P
New York
Purchased 10/18/2024 |
Review Posted 11/11/2024
The pump arrived looking great. However, when installation, when I started the pump it would not shut off when it reached the cutout pressure. I had to shut off the power to shut it down. I was unable to adjust the switch to make it work properly. As a result, my payment was refunded.

Bad Instructions
Heavy yet Quiet

Review Posted 07/15/2022
This is the slightly costlier of the 1/2 hp Red Lion pumps. It's quite enough to have a conversation right next to it. Its' used to pump up a 5' intake, then 40 ft up, and 250 ft horizontally. We get 10.5 gpm to our pond, slightly more than the lighter more electrically frugal Red Lion pump. It's rated to use 5.9 amps of 220 and weighs a hefty 36 lbs. It quit after I changed the back flow valve which was longer and managed to suck up a small 22 caliber rock from the creek bottom, which plugged an orifice just inside the intake. Thought I had destroyed it but it's still pumps when I tested it.

Review Posted 06/14/2022
Bought an RJS PREM 1/2 hp in 2017. In November of 2021 it started squealing and soon the bearing closest to the pump seized up. Upon inspection, it looks like the seals were leaking and the bearing was coated with lime residue. The ceramic bushing was worn out of round. I would like to repair it, but the websites only offer a few parts for the pump -- no bearings, bushings etc. So I spent around $300 for a pump that lasted only 4 1/2 years. The pump I replaced was a Goulds and was 49 years old and still worked.

Glad I Switched To Red Lion Electric
By SoSalty W.

Review Posted 06/25/2019
Been using gas powered pumps in the past. Glad I switched to this electric. Installation was simple, came with guage and extra plugs. It's pushing close to 10gpm up 45ft and over to trees 200'. Arrived a few days after ordering in neat double box. I can just hear it running from 100', more of a swishing pumping sound than motor noise. Quieter than previous pumps. I'm happy with it, should pay for itself in 2 years and last a lot longer than that.

Great Irrigation Pump
By Ronald B.

Purchased 08/06/2017 |
Review Posted 08/14/2017
Great pump, heavy duty cast iron construction compared to other brands. Came shipped with extra plugs and even a pressure gauge. Installation was very easy had to adjust the pressure switch to allow for a lower cut in setting however this was a snap with the pressure switch that came on the pump. Very quiet and provides approx 720 gallons per hour, not bad for a 1/2 hp pump. Exceeded my expectations.
