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

These are great pumps!

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.

Excellent solar pump to get free solar water

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.

The media could not be loaded. I found a 100 year old well on my property and figured my wife could use it to water her garden. The only problem is the garden is around 600 feet from the well. I ended up measuring the well (62' deep) and water level (25' down). I dropped the pump down to about 7' below bottom. I used a 240W 36V solar panel, a cheap Mppt controller off Amazon, and a 12V deep cycle battery from walmart. The well will only produce 30 gallons of water at a time (maybe 2 or 3 times per day) but I pump this through 1000' of 1/2" poly pipe (I have not cut the pipe to length yet) to a plastic 1000 liter IBC. My wife uses around 50 gallons a day. I am getting around 1.75 gal/minute into my tote which is enough for me. I was using 16Ga wire for power at one time and found that going to 12 GA wire made it pump faster and increased the amps. My wire is around 80' long. I pump it manually now (drive the golf cart out to the well and sit there listening to music for the 18 minutes it usually takes to pump the well dry) but will add a 12V timer to the system soon.The video is from my initial test using the 16GA wire (an old extension cord). I've upgraded the power supply now (that was just a test) and that is about the flow I see 1000 feet out. Don't worry, the water is nice and clear at this point.
