When my previous pump(a flotec)died, I ordered a new one from Amazon.com. It arrived in a few days, I immediately installed it and it works great, it was an easy installation with a few leaks, which I repaired with teflon tape and pipe compound. I have used about 1 month woth no problems. I highly recommend this pum.

I just purchased the wayne sws75 shallow well pump with a little skepticism. It was not advertised by wayne as a self priming pump, which means you do not need a foot valve at the bottom of your shallow well, only a check valve at top of the well head. I plumbed it according to the diagram in the instruction manual (which leaves much to be desired), only to have to re-plumb the pressure tank. Once i did this it has worked great, It has drawn water out with no problem, It is quiet, powerful, and well worth the cost. I hope it last several years.

I decided to wait until I write my thought on this pump, and that what I usually do, and I have this pump over 3 months. I would say it's a good pump. There was nothing wrong with the old pump but it's 15 years old but I run out of water in my well, and the well is 21 feet deep and a friend of mine told me about this pump, so I replaced the 21 feet pipe with 29 feet 1 1/4 galvanized pipe. I was concerned that it might not pull water since the instruction said that I should not go over 25 feet deep, but to my surprise it did a good job. I'm getting around 6 gallons of water per minute which is more than enough for us. At first, I had difficulty to prime it but I hooked up a garden hose from my yard well to the pump for 3-5 minutes while I kept the pump runing and that fixed the problem. And also, I replaced the water pressure switch on the new pump because I had one that would shut off the power automatically if the water pressure drop below 20 pounds in case the well run out of water. The pump takes 120/240 volts and I use the 240 volts. I hope it helps someone.
