Description
Deliver dependable potable water pressure from shallow underground residential aquifers. The Star Water Systems Well Pump 2 wire submersible unit supplies steady domestic volume from well casings. A 0.5-horsepower continuous-duty motor turns multiple floating thermoplastic impellers. The 115-volt configuration requires heavy wire gauges over long electrical wire runs.
Corrosion-proof 304 stainless steel forms the outer shell, motor casing, and splined drive shaft. Glass-filled polycarbonate impellers resist abrasion from fine underground sand grains. A built-in stainless steel check valve prevents water column backflow down the well pipe. Hermetically sealed motor windings run in non-toxic dielectric fluid for maximum heat dissipation. The discharge head features rugged cast stainless steel.
Deep Well System Mechanical Specs
Well technicians install shallow water lift systems without complex external starting components. The 2-wire setup routes straight from the pressure switch down to the pump motor.
- Continuous-duty 0.5-horsepower motor operates on standard 115-volt single-phase residential power
- Multi-stage floating impeller group delivers 10 GPM from depths down to 150 feet
- Corrosion-proof 304 stainless steel shell resists harsh mineral scale buildup
- Built-in check valve stops water hammer damage on external plumbing pipes
- Glass-filled polycarbonate stages resist abrasion wear from underground silica sand
- Integrated suction screen blocks gravel particles larger than 0.08-inch diameter
- Standard 1.25-inch NPT discharge connects straight to schedule 80 drop pipe
Hydrodynamic Bench Telemetry Data
Bench testing demonstrates the motor draws 9.4 Amps on 115-volt power under a 120-foot dynamic discharge head. Water discharge stabilizes at 10.2 GPM into pressurized bladder tanks. Motor winding temperatures stabilize at 124°F within flowing 55°F well water. The internal thrust bearing endures 500 pounds of downthrust during continuous deep-well pumping runs.
Worksite Performance Practical Notes
You lower this pump down 4-inch well casings using a dedicated safety torque cable. The smooth stainless steel shell slides past casing joints without snagging. Do not run this pump inside dry well casings without water cover. Operating the motor without fluid flow causes rapid thermal expansion that destroys the stator windings.
- Install a dedicated check valve on the drop pipe every 100 vertical feet
- Test motor electrical insulation resistance with a megohmmeter before dropping well pipes
- Secure electrical drop wires to the pipe with waterproof tape every 10 feet
