ECO-WORTHY 12V DC Submersible Well Water Pump with 10ft Cable, Water Flow 1.6GPM, Max Lift 230ft/70m, 96W Deep Well Pump for Irrigation, farm, ranch, home

Works great and the price was affordable. I connected it direct to 1x 265w panel and was pumping water right away. Happy with it

I installed the pump using direct-connect to a 100 watt solar panel. It ran flawlessly when the sun was shining, for 3 months, then just stopped. I found that the housing was full of water. I contacted the Amazon seller who in turn contacted the manufacturer. I received several emails from the manufacturer over the next month. Most of which, after the first one, were prompted by my follow-up emails to them. I received a replacement in about 1 month with no requirement to pay anything or to return the failed pump. I was happy. Fast forward 30 days, the replacement pump has stopped working. Voltage is good from the panel and there's no water in the housing this time. It simply stopped. I'm going to contact the manufacturer again but I do not recommend this pump, perod.UPDATE: The seller, Fister-US, contacted me. That alone is amazing. They not only provided me with a 3rd pump (2nd replacement), they provided a refund for the trouble. I will return to this review and change it to 5 stars if this new pump last several months. I'm inclined to believe it will if water doesn't leak into tbe housing. I believe the 2nd pump may have died prematurely due to low voltage. The spec sheet that comes with the pump doesn't provide rated operating voltage range. The saller provided me with 20-36 vdc as the range for this 24 volt pump. I foynd reference to tbe pump operating on 12-24 vdc on forums and other reviews. With that being inaccurate, I'm hoping the increased voltage will provide for a longer life of the pump. I'll update this again later.

These are great pumps!

This motor is not worth the installation hassle. The first pump was used for 1 season then pulling it back out of the well in the middle of August. This first assembly lasted 1 year and 2 weeks with about 6 months of heavy, every day, summertime usage for the garden. After I learned about the expired warranty position of the manufacture, I disassembled it to find clues for why it failed. The first unit had signs of uneven commutator wear. This uneven wear indicates one side of the commutator winding group was heavily eroded possibly from excessive current, foreign object debris, or misaligned brush contact. I’m not leaning towards bearing misalignment since the clearance tolerance is tight for permanent magnet DC motors. I have not measured the coil resistance on the rotor assembly to determine if coil windings have overheating. I may do that inspection of the circuit resistance if provoked further.The manual has replacement part numbers however nothing on the web site which is a good thing. It prevents you from putting more of your earned money and time into this defective design.After the “unofficial” failure analysis (not through a certified testing facility but more of 20 years engineering experience), I purchased a replacement for this failed pump and it immediately started overload cycling after 2 weeks. That one would cycle with only 50' of head pressure (21.7psi). I tried to replace the original with the exact same model (benefit of the doubt) so now I have experienced 2 failures with the same model number. These canister type pump/motors are designed to fail once the O-ring gasket fails to keep the water out. You get what you pay for with this model. Not recommended for use. Save your money for a better assembly.

I ha e a problem with this pump will run for few mins very strong pump. However 3 to 4 mins of run time in water that is 50 to 52 degrees Fahrenheit pump shuts off for no apparent reason. I have contacted ted the seller about this problem they were worthless as far as help. I beleive that the thermal switch is faulty or wrong one installed. Seller didnt offer to exchange pump. All they want was pi true of the battery. I can tell u the battery is new with 20 amp solar charger and 350 watt solar panel . Panel can provide 12 to 15 amps of power to the battery. Voltage when pump is running never drops below 12.2 volts . I will be disassembling the pump myself. I will update when I find the problem.Update after disassembling the pump found thermal switch. Must have been sumthg wrong with thermal switch or wrong one put in. The way I found this was I put thermal switch under hair dryer. And thermal switch goes open at 90 farenheit. With no documentation I could fi d what the thermal switch was supposed to be rated for. Took wild guess and got thermal switch for it rated for 300 Fahrenheit. Pump work great.

Excellent solar pump to get free solar water

I already bought a couple of these (second one as replacement for first one), since they fit perfectly for my shallow well setup. However, both died after around 3 or so months of usage. I used them only a couple of hours most days, but at some point they stopped working. Upon inspecting the motor area (which sits at the bottom) was completely flooded and with traces of sediment. The motor as is, will not turn anymore.The Amazon warranty for return is only one month, I should have suspected it is a product that would have a high rate of return.Edit: It took a good number of messages back and forth, but the vendor finally sent a replacement and a refund for those two pumps. Good.As per some suggestions online, I will use Raspberry Pi logic to only run it for max 5 mins at the time, and let it rest at least 10m (Not suggested by vendor, but by users of similar pumps). My well is very shallow, so it actually helps being constant and let water permeate, rather than fast. I fill several connected barrels with this pump over the day, and then use a bigger pump to push the water to sprinklers all over my property. Thst should extend its life, we will see.
