Premium Submersible Deep Well Pump, 1/2 HP, 5 GPM, 230V

The Red Lion RS Series 4-inch submersible well pumps are designed for excellent corrosion-resistance in well water, featuring a shell and discharge made with 304 stainless steel. These pumps come equipped with a built-in suction screen and check valve. The RS Series is available in three different flow rates: 5 GPM, 12 GPM, and 22 GPM. The specific model being discussed, the RS5G05-3W2V, is a 1/2 HP pump rated for 5 GPM. At a pressure of 30 PSI, this pump can deliver a maximum of 5 GPM at a depth of 160 feet.

To determine the appropriate pump for your needs, you'll need to know the flow rate of your well, the depth to the water level, and the total depth of the well. This information can typically be found in the well driller's report. If you don't have access to that report, you can check the specifications of your existing pump, which are usually labeled on the control box or fuse box.

This 3-wire (plus ground) pump requires a control box to operate it, which is not included with the pump. The recommended control box is the Red Lion RLCB05-230 (part number 640189), specifically designed for 1/2 HP deep well pumps. Additionally, a splice kit (Red Lion order number 640166) is required for proper installation.

Installing a deep well submersible pump requires above-average skill levels and electrical knowledge. It is strongly recommended to employ a licensed electrician or water systems contractor to ensure the installation is done safely and correctly. Improper wiring can result in death or severe injury.

The Red Lion RS Series 4-inch submersible well pump is NSF/ANSI 372 certified for use with potable water and is designed for 4-inch diameter driven wells or larger. The built-in check valve helps prevent rapid cycling and extends the motor's lifespan, while the built-in suction screen protects the impellers from debris.
