Best Well Pumps of 2025

"I needed a replacement for a very old pump and found the installation easier than expected. I followed several helpful YouTube videos. I realized I had to add a flow sleeve shroud to extend the new pump's life since I primarily use it for my 5-zone sprinkler system. Initially, it worked great, but I had to reposition it due to some trash blocking the intake. Now, it’s working perfectly again!"

"This pump was exactly what I was looking for. After buying a house with two wells, I needed to pull out the old one that was malfunctioning. The new pump worked flawlessly and I would definitely buy it again!"

"After trying three of the same pumps, I've found that while the 1hp 30 gpm rating seems accurate, the motor tends to burn out easily. I'm not impressed with the durability and would recommend investing in a higher quality pump instead."

"I've had my pump running perfectly for over two years. It feeds three houses and is 260 feet deep, and I've had NO issues at all. After hearing some negative feedback, I made sure to invest in good electrical supplies and sealed every connection. I believe that the main problem others face is poor wiring and installation. If you take your time and ensure everything is secure, this pump performs wonderfully. I would definitely buy again!"

"I purchased this pump to send to Cuba, where the water supply is quite poor. I'm happy to report that it works perfectly, and my family is thrilled with its performance and quality. It's been a great investment!"

"After my old pump failed, I installed this one and so far it's been running smoothly for two months without any problems. It was easy to connect, especially after watching a few YouTube videos on sub pump installations. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase!"

"When I first ordered this pump, I was skeptical, but upon receiving it, I was blown away. This isn't a cheap piece of junk; it’s all stainless and solid. To date, it has outperformed my expectations. If you're hesitant like I was, don't be—this is an excellent unit for the price!"

"I installed this pump to draw water from a river, and despite the company's advice against it, I found it to be amazing. It delivered full pressure, probably around 90 psi, through my garden hoses. After receiving quotes for thousands just to water my lawns, this pump did the job and exceeded my expectations!"

"I installed this pump in 2017 for watering my lawn about 5 months a year. After pulling it out recently, I was pleased to see it was still the same price, so I bought another. I fired up the new one this morning, and it works great! Now I have two, and I can’t imagine they’ll stay at this price for long."

"I found this pump to be awesome! It works great and you can hardly hear it running. If you're in the market for a pump, I highly recommend this one."

"I bought this to pump lake water to my fish cleaning station. It performs wonderfully, feels high quality, and is a great value in my opinion."

"I needed a pump for backup water supply at home. It works perfectly for my needs. Thanks for a reliable product!"

"I was really impressed with the delivery! My pump was placed right next to my front door, which I truly appreciate since it was a bit heavy."

"I've been using this pump and it's been working great for my water system. However, it does have a loud sound that makes me a bit concerned about its longevity."

"This pump has exceeded my expectations! It’s well made from quality materials and operates effectively, especially when I need to run two showers at the same time."

“I had to replace a tenant's water pump, and it was so much less expensive ordering it from Amazon than buying it from a store.”

“I purchased this pump in 2016 as a backup for our home. I installed it in October 2022. Unfortunately, the overload protector keeps kicking off as the pump overheats. After spending on a high-quality unit expecting it to last at least a decade, it only lasted 5 months. I’m reinstalling the old pump until I find a replacement.”

“This pump is exactly what I wanted—quiet and provides perfect pressure! I plan to buy another for my son and highly recommend it!”

"I absolutely love this pump! We store rainwater and use this to pump it out with our house. It's easy to use and the pressure is top notch. Just a bit heavy."

"So far, it works great! I've had it for about a year, and I use it for my lawn in Florida for 120 minutes a week. Best price I could find!"

"I had a fantastic experience with this pump. Installation was straightforward, and I was pumped to grab it for a couple hundred bucks instead of a pricier option. Just needed to make a quick trip for a connector."

"I ordered this 1-hp Red Lion pump as a spare and was thrilled with my decision. Living on well water, having spare parts is essential. When my old pump failed, I was ready with everything needed for the replacement. Although I bought it on sale, even at full price, it was still cheaper than local options. The pump is quiet and runs smoothly, providing 60 psi of water pressure. I adjusted the pressure switch to 40-60 psi for better performance. I would definitely purchase another one in the future; it’s a great quality pump and I highly recommend it."

"After researching, I bought this pump as a backup for my variable speed pump. I consulted with my uncle, who is a water and sewer specialist, and he highly recommended Red Lion pumps for their reliability and affordability. It was a significant selling point for me. So far, I’m pleased with my purchase and the performance of this pump."

"When I unpacked the pump, I was impressed by the included pressure gauge and fittings, which was a nice touch. However, after installation and priming, the pump wouldn't shut off, and the pressure climbed to 70 PSI. I ended up replacing the pressure switch with one from my old pump, and then it worked perfectly. I noticed other reviewers had a similar experience, but now it’s functioning well."

"This pump was perfect for my garden. I have an irrigation system, and it has plenty of pressure and is very quiet. I would buy again if it holds up. Delivery was on time and it was as advertised."

"I replaced my old Sears 1/2hp deep well jet pump with this one. It has run several thousand gallons and is still going strong. It’s quieter than my old pump and pressures up just fine. I'd definitely buy again!"

"I initially returned this pump because I thought I didn't need it. However, I found out I needed it after all and reordered it. It performs great and I had no problems with the return or re-order. Great customer service!"
