Description
Lift potable drinking water from deep rock aquifers to pressurized storage tanks. The Star Water Systems Well Pump 3 wire submersible unit provides high-head residential water supply. A 1.0-horsepower 230-volt motor couples to an abrasion-resistant multi-stage pump wet end. The 3-wire system requires a separate above-ground control box containing start capacitors.
Heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel encases the motor and multi-stage pump assembly. Precision-molded thermoplastic impellers float inside individual stages to prevent sand locking during startups. The cast stainless steel discharge head incorporates a spring-loaded check valve to stop water hammer shocks. A splined stainless steel shaft transfers motor rotation without torsional slippage. Non-toxic dielectric fluid cools the motor internals.
Submersible Well System Details
Plumbing contractors configure deep well water feeds with above-ground capacitor servicing access. The 3-wire motor allows component troubleshooting without pulling drop pipes out of wells.
- Industrial 1.0-horsepower motor operates on 230-volt power via an external control box
- Multi-stage pump wet end delivers 10 GPM from depths down to 250 feet
- External control box simplifies capacitor replacement without pulling downhole drop pipes
- Stainless steel pump casing resists chemical erosion from acidic groundwater sources
- Floating thermoplastic impellers pass fine sand grains without mechanical binding issues
- Internal check valve blocks backflow down the well casing during motor shutdowns
- Threaded 1.25-inch NPT discharge connects straight to standard well drop pipe
Hydrodynamic Dyno Load Telemetry
Dynamometer testing confirms the electric motor draws 8.2 Amps on 230-volt circuits under a 200-foot total dynamic head. Water discharge stabilizes at 10.4 GPM into pressurized bladder tanks. Motor winding temperatures stabilize at 128°F within flowing 55°F well water. The internal thrust bearing endures 750 pounds of downthrust during continuous deep-well pumping runs.
Field Application Operator Boundaries
You suspend this pump in 4-inch well casings with schedule 80 PVC or poly drop pipe. The external control box mounts inside dry basements for fast electrical testing. Do not operate this unit without a matched Star Water Systems control box. Mismatched start capacitors cause low motor torque that burns out the auxiliary windings.
- Mount the external control box in a moisture-free indoor service location
- Measure well casing recovery rates to ensure continuous water submergence over the pump
- Install torque arrestors above the pump discharge to stop pipe twisting during start
Commercial Warranty Specifications Manifest
Star Water Systems provides a 3-Year limited warranty covering pump and motor components. The shipping box contains the 1.0-horsepower 3-wire pump, integrated check valve, splice kit, and complete well installation guide.
