Harbor freight well pump vs Home Depot Everbilt

[@grizzlyflats5037]

I am pumping from a tank and do not need X-tra (blue) pressure tank.. The unit works perfectly by it's self.. Kicks on when any valve in the house is opened and off when closed... good video brother,, Thank You...

I’ve had mine for about 6 month and use it everyday for about 2 hours is just great, works awesome. One thing to keep in mind, is meant to be protected from whether rain, sun etc it will start rusting just like any other,

[@HRoy-ot7hy]

How deep is your well? This pump says up to 26ft deep.

[@2452bentleyify]

I'm on my second green pump from Harbor freight like you have in the video. The pump is great when it works, but after a couple months it starts tripping the breaker because the motor is burning out. You can reset it's few times, but it will eventually go, second one is now doing it after about 6 months. Pump is good, motor is junk

Yes that tee is key and the additional tank as the one on the pump would cause continual cycling of well pump which would shorten it's life.

Some of those Chinese made water pumps are fabulous. We purchased a cheap Chinese made irrigation pump 5 or 6 years ago and we've abused it terribly. It has even run dry several times with no issues. It was about $90 with free shipping online.When I ordered it I was hoping it would last a year.

I've purchased several (4) of HF pumps and they work well for a bit then the impeller breaks at the center. Then I bought a burcam for almost $400-500 from Lowes and it has now locked up less than 2 years. Need to buy 1 with stainless steel impeller but when on the spot need you can't get 1.

[@ramahonlineschool]

We have had the 1 HP Drummond pump on our solar system for just shy of two years. It was $152 at Harbor Freight and pumps with good pressure to all indoor and outdoor faucets, showers, and toilets. It worked flawlessly until two weeks ago. Now, it is coming on and off almost non-stop, however its power source is a dedicated 3000W Harbor Freight inverter, which has also gotten glitchy. We are not sure if the pump was damaged by the glitchy inverter, but we are buying a new Drummond pump today for $169, which in our opinion does the work of an $800 pump. As a side note, the Harbor Freight 3,000W Inverter's internal connections seem to "loosen up" over time. We've tightened those connections at least 3 times, then it works fine for a month or so. If anyone has any suggestions, other than junking it, we'd appreciate your thoughts.

I really like the pump, it works great. Ive burned up 2 in the last 2 years though.(home use) The first one the bladder went and it cycled so much it burnt out the switch, second one blew out the intake and burned out with no water intake. 159$ cant be beat tho. Just be careful to keep it primed properly or you will fry it pretty quickly.

I have a hunt camp and I have been looking for a well pump. I am going to buy one now based on your recommendation. Thanks.

[@Jeff-x3p]

Those Drummond are a good value, it will definitely get you by but not super long term. I actually installed exact same pump. Worked pretty good for about 2 years before i had to make repairs to it, then i got another year or two before it completely went. I think i got about 20 years out of my submersible pump in comparison but 10 times the cost too and i do everything myself. So if you just needed something to get by or dont need water all the time these Drummond arent bad for the price plus they have built in pressure tank. Install is about as easy as it gets with well pumps. One line in, one line out, set air pressure on tank 2-3 pounds less than cut on pressure, make sure to fill pump completely full of water to prime pump, plug in and your ready to use.

[@Remnant144000]

Thank you for sharing this long term review. I sold the property before I reached the 3,4 year full time usage mark.

[@garysmith1759]

Shallow well pumps are only designed to pull water from about thirty feet down. Gravity prevents the weight of the water drawn any further. As mentioned by another, you need to put a venturi on your pump which pushes water down another pipe which offsets the weight of the water being pulled up. It works like an elevator with a counter Balance on the opposite side of the elevator car. The pump doesn't work as hard and won't lose prime.

[@HRoy-ot7hy]

Yes the HF web page of the pump shown in the video says it can be used with depth up to 26 ft. I’m still wondering what are good options for a single pipe (

[@jackb1803]

I had a 30 foot deep well with a convertible Sears pump. It could run as a single pipe "suction" pump or a 2-pipe jet (deep well) pump. My water level was only 16 feet deep so a single pipe installation should work fine. However, I achieved much higher output with the equipment set up as a deep well pump. I had to buy the poly pipe (2 different sizes are used) and I used the supplied ejector. The instructions were quite clear on what performance could be achieved in both configurations.

Also, I know a lot of pumps at 1hp have a maximum water lift of around 100 feet (meaning vertical) now the area I need to water is probably only around 15 feet vertical lift - BUT - the hose length would be a little over 200 feet -- do you think that hose length would be fine for this pump??? I see many others say that with similar pumps that they have no problem with long hoses. Your thoughts on this are greatly appreciated and --- thanks for the great share!!!

I believe that other pump is not meant for drawing water upwards from a well, and more for pushing it fast through a mostly horizontal system, like a pool or jaccuzzi. don't quote me, but as far as I know water pumps need to be very purpose built, because moving water upwards is hard as shit

Great video.Do you have to have the blue tank to just pump water out of a well to empty the well?

[@Remnant144000]

The blue tank is a holding tank which allows water to flow from it out to your tap without the pump having to continuously pull. The larger the tank the less the pump has to switch on and off. Thank you. :)

[@terrysibley4849]

Very nice where did you get the holding tank and what size

[@UpnorthHere]

@@Remnant144000 The blue tank is "pressure" tank that contains a "rubber" bladder between the water and the air. It comes with, say, 40 psi in the bladder. When you pressurize the water system, the bladder presses against the air, effectively "storing" some pressure. A properly calibrated pressure switch then shuts off the pump. Next time the water pressure is used, the water flows out of the blue tank until the pressure switch senses it's time to switch on the pump. So, you're "storing" a few gallons of water under pressure to give your pump some time to relax between short uses.

you need to have a Pressure Switch for Well Pumps and Brass Check Valve so you don't get overheated, let alone run out of water pressure because all the time running causes the line to the well to dry

Please help.

[@trevorwright2511]

Due to the laws of nature ( atmospheric pressure and vacuum) a wellpoint pump of 1hp will draw water only if the water table is 25 feet or less measured vertically below the pump. The secret is ensuring that their are no air leaks on the suction side; even a loose joint letting in air will prevent the pump from drawing water. My water table Is about 12 feet below the surface, so I sunk a 20 feet x 20 mm pipe, it delivers about 1300 litres per hour at the outlet. The higher you go above the pump the less will be the flow coming out of the hose. ( Convert litres to gallons by dividing the litres by 3.78.) I can run one sprinkler from this. I did a wellpoint for a friend and got him 2400 litres per hour at about only 12 foot depth; the water table was very shallow. To run a sprinkler system from such a wellpoint, pump from the wellpoint into a storage tank, and connect your sprinkler system to the storage tank via a booster pump. You will have to have a system whereby when you switch on your irrigation system, the Well point starts pumping and refilling the storage tank. You will have to balance this, to avoid the storage tank being depleted. Remember, the enemy of wellpoint suction side is air leaks, and a shallow wellpoint pump can only pull water from max 25 feet vertically below the pump. Place your wellpoint pump as close to the well as possible. Place a non return valve on the suction line just before it enters the pump. Make sure that the slots in the bottom of the suction line that let the water in are covered by biddum, a geotextile, to prevent sand particles being drawn in with the water; this will often prevent the non return valve from working properly, and you will lose prime on the pump. I hope this helps, and regards from South Africa.

Sorry you are having to deal with that issue. I'm assuming it's either a pressure leak or the pressure switch on the pump needs adjusting in order to correspond with the pressure tank.

Do you have to keep the power on 24/7 or is it safe to have this on a timer to turn off/on daily?

[@Remnant144000]

Actually It only has power going to it when I turn on my grid power to the house. It's not continual power. Just when I am wanting to use it. It maintains prime whether powered or not. Does this make sense.

[@Remnant144000]

I keep mine off for days at a time sometime.

[@timm2020]

Would this be powerful enough for a water supply for a Tiny home or Cabin, With a shallow 2" well?

[@Remnant144000]

It worked well for my 300 sqft structure which was over a hundred feet from the tap.

[@MASTERSURGEON04]

HI THE LOWS PUMP HAS TO BE CONVERTER TO DEEP WELL PUMP YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF AND CONVERTED TO TWO PIPE GOING DOWN TO THE WELL AND THE HEAD WITH THE TWO PIPES GO DOWN IN TO THE WELL IF YOU LIKE GO TO HOMEDEPOT VIDEOS HOW TO CONVERT SHALLOW WELL PUMP TO DEEP WELL PUMP. THANK YOU.

How much the TCPrice in 1-set of this harbor freight well pump pls

[@payasoloco19]

Update ? Pump still good? I'm shopping around.

[@damion7500]

Thanks!!! what about the psi pressure in the tank does it tell you how much to put..

[@Remnant144000]

It's set already to whatever recommended rate, but in the manual it provides recommended psi and how to add to the tank.

[@keteimporta7047]

question? I see you got the Drummond pump with the blue pressure tank,,are both connected together? how often does it turn on & off? Thanks for the video!

[@Remnant144000]

keteImporta They are separate items. The pump cycles on and off after the lines and small tank empties. Its not a problem for me by myself or even two persons, but to lessen cycling I would recommend a larger tank. In either case it's not too much of an additional strain on the pump.

[@keteimporta7047]

RAN Institute,Thanks for replying,ok so when you say a larger tank does that mean I have to remove the small tank & plug it up to a bigger tank? I do have a 42 gallon pressure tank for wells,but I'm no expert on this stuff.

[@Remnant144000]

keteImporta yes you will need to disconnect smaller tank and run pipes the same way into new tank. It's only one connection to the tank from the mainline that needs to be attached to the new tank. Just make sure the fittings are the same size.

[@keteimporta7047]

RAN Institute, Thanks!

[@isaiahdavid4850]

Anybody know how much power it draws? I couldnt find the watts and I am off grid using only a 2250w generator.. will that be enough?

[@scottinWV]

1200 watts approximately.

[@damion7500]

Do the pump Need any wiring? Are it comes ready to go..

[@Remnant144000]

It's a very simple wire job from the power cord to the connectors from what I remember. The instructions are included and from a scale of 1 to 10 for beginners I'd give it a 2 or 3. I had no problems connecting it and I'm no electrician.

[@eldoradogrowersadvocacyall2826]

What is the max well depth this pump will handle, if you know. Will you do a video on your solar set up?

[@bryant5293]

Here is a link to the specs. My piping is about twice this amount and it pulls fine.

[@jackb1803]

@@bryant5293 The spec. shows 26 feet. As you approach this depth, performance falls. 950 GPH is measured at 0' lift. BTW, the owners manual is excellent. Thanks for the HF link. manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/63000-63999/63407.pdf.

[@UpnorthHere]

The maximum lift of a theoretically perfect vacuum pump, at sea level, is 34 feet. Beyond about 30 ft you need a different kind of pump.

[@XD45OWNER]

I know the everbilt sump pumps are absolute garbage, I bought 4 of them to remove rain water from my property and all but 1 went kaput in 2yrs, the seals on the shaft gave out and the motor oil leaked out as water went in, the 5yr warranty is a joke, they replace the part and I'd have to pay for shipping and the labor of having the part(s) replaced, now I'm trying out Wayne pumps.

[@Remnant144000]

Im sorry to hear that. I've heard good things about the Wayne pumps.

[@paulnagy1546]

Thanks for the help !!

[@hungvuong3417]

will the pump crack in the freeze winter if it out door ??? i bought 1 from Lowes it only last 4 yeasrs then it cracked/ leaked water from the pump ! thank you

[@Remnant144000]

Where I am located it more then likely will not. But whenever you have a closed in system that doesn't constantly move you will get swelling. So I would take precautions and double insulate all exposed piping etc.
