I attached this pump to a pressure tank at my camp site. But it's not that simple. The pump is down inside a narrow pit to keep it under frost level. Unfortunately, the pit fills with water, so I also have a sump pump down there to keep the water level down. One time when I wasn't there, the power went out and the pit filled with water. I later arrived at camp to find the pump and tank upside down in the pit because they had flipped over during the flooding episode. I unplugged everything, got everything right side up, and dried out the pressure switch. I plugged it back in and hoped for the best. Miraculously, the pump fired right up. Fast forward about a year. The power went out again during the winter. Once again, the pump flipped over and floated to the top (I had no way of fastening it to the bottom), only this time the water forced the pump above the frost line where it froze solid in ice. In fact, the water in the pump froze and expanded to the point where it had split the pump casting in half. When I got there in spring, I saw what had happened, but didn't realize that the pump was split in half. I put the pump and tank right side up again, which was getting really old, and plugged it in. The pump just hummed, so I unplugged it. I had to remove the fan shroud and spray it with pb blaster and work the shaft with pliers to loosen it up. After I freed up the shaft, I plugged it in and it started pumping up the tank, but it was really loud because the bearings had rusted. It was then that I noticed the pump casting was leaking water out the side. I unplugged and went down in the pit to check and noticed the pump housing was split in two, with about a 3/8" gap on one side. I then plugged it back in, at which time the pump continued to scream in agony. Even so, it still pumped up the pressure in the tank to where it was used for spraying off my camper. I still have the pump and use it like that occasionally until I can get it replaced, though I recommend not doing what I do. If this pump can survive an ordeal like I put it through, then it should definitely be fine with a normal owner. Review: Very nice pump! - I get a lot of water in my house's sump pit, so a couple years ago decided to install a drip irrigation system with an irrigation pump to make use of the sump pit water, rather than just pumping it into the sewer. My previous irrigation pump failed after about 2 years and 110k gallons (see my Goplus 1200W Shallow Well Pump review). I paid a little more for this pump so hopefully it will last longer, plus repair parts are available. It does the job and is reasonably quiet - no complaints. 11/3/18 update: The Red Lion pump continues to work perfectly, and has pumped a total of around 65,000 gallons to irrigate my yard over the two seasons its been in service. 7/14/22 update - still working great for my irrigation system. The last couple years it has taken a couple attempts to get it started in spring - I assume the shaft gets somewhat stuck over winter, but once it gets going it works great. 10/27/23 update - still working great - it has pumped over 200k gallons since install in 2017. 6/16/26 update - still going strong after 9 years and over 250k total gallons of water pumped. ## Features - 1/2 HP SHALLOW WELL JET PUMP: can draw up to 7.4 GPM; ideal for cottages or homes with one bathroom; design for wells down to 25 feet - BUILT TO LAST: RUGGED cast iron casing and volute for long life; glass-filled thermoplastic impeller and diffuser for durability - DUAL VOLTAGE: runs on either 115 or 230 volts; voltage must be selected to match incoming power source; CSA listed in the USA and Canada; certified for potable water - INCLUDES: a factory pre-set 30/50 pressure switch that produces a working maximum pressure of 50 PSI; note pressure gauge not included - SPECIFICATIONS: 1/2 HP, 6.6 Amps at 115V; 3.3 Amps at 230 V; 1-1/4-inch FNPT intake; 1-inch FNPT discharge; 7.4 GPM at 30 PSI (5-ft. suction lift); Maximum pressure = 63 PSI; Maximum head = 145-ft ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00XUZA96M | | Best Sellers Rank | #268,218 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #107 in Well Pumps | | Brand | Red Lion | | Brand Name | Red Lion | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 230 Reviews | | Flow Rate | 7 gpm | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00010121146860 | | Horsepower | 0.5 | | Included Components | installation manual, jet pump with 30/50 pressure switch | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8.54"L x 13.86"W x 8.4"H | | Item Type Name | 1/2 HP, 7.4 GPM, 115/230-Volt PWJET50 Cast Iron Shallow Well Jet Pump | | Item Weight | 20.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Franklin Electric Canada, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 97080501 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | | Material | Cast Iron | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Maximum Lifting Height | 25 feet | | Model Number | 97080501 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 8.54"L x 13.86"W x 8.4"H | | Product Style | 1/2 HP, dual voltage (115/230 Volts) | | Specific Uses For Product | Amateur | | Style | 1/2 HP, dual voltage (115/230 Volts) | | UPC | 010121146860 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 115 volts, 230 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Red Lion - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Style:** 1/2 HP, dual voltage (115/230 Volts) - **Product Dimensions:** 8.54"L x 13.86"W x 8.4"H - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Item Weight:** 20.25 Pounds - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 7 Gallons Per Minute - **Maximum Lifting Height:** 25 Feet - **Voltage:** 230 Volts ## Images ![Red Lion PWJET50, 115/230V, 1/2 HP, 7.4 GPM, Shallow Well Jet Pump - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81i7b89sB8L.jpg) ![Red Lion PWJET50, 115/230V, 1/2 HP, 7.4 GPM, Shallow Well Jet Pump - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A5NR-dQVL.jpg) ![Red Lion PWJET50, 115/230V, 1/2 HP, 7.4 GPM, Shallow Well Jet Pump - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81giFWJysfL.jpg) ![Red Lion PWJET50, 115/230V, 1/2 HP, 7.4 GPM, Shallow Well Jet Pump - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ktpz2fVlL.jpg) ![Red Lion PWJET50, 115/230V, 1/2 HP, 7.4 GPM, Shallow Well Jet Pump - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TLx9xriuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The pump that won't die *by B***D on June 21, 2019* Long story.
