Excellent work, very informative!!! Thank you for posting!!!

Thank you for the info, just what I was looking for a low use, remote location

That's my plan. Going in the lake up here in Canada. I ordered this pump before I found your video. Website I ordered from never mentioned a built in check valve. Great vid. Thanks for the reply!

Well, I'm gonna take a chance on their one horse models, after seeing this. I've only got an approximately thirty foot well, so that should be more than enough. I was kind of afraid of the brand because of the low price, but it appears there's not much reason to be, from this. Thanks, I'd been looking for reviews, and so far you've done one of two of several I was looking at. Thumbs up, and subscribed the other day when I watched the Halmark review. Thanks for what you do.

I've got the exact pump set at 260ft I left 3 ft of factory wire added 10 gauge all the way up to control box plugged it into my generator it takes about 24 seconds to fill up a 5-gallon coming out of 1 inch PEX

Great review good information thanks

Great video thank you

You are awesome my friend! Thanks so much for the heads up! We bought this pump a year ago, and put it in a hundred foot well, and have the power supply another 200 feet away. Needless to say, we have had some issues with melting wires and blowing fuses in the box! Any tips you might have would be very appreciated! Take care and thanks again!

I had the 240v version of this pump and it was hopeless. I had to remove the overtemp on it as it constantly tripped for no reason

I can tell you exactly how long the pump will last. Three bedroom two and a half bath with four people 2 1/2 to 3 years. At 100 ft they flow 10 to 12 gallons a minute. The last 16 years we have went through several. You want a solid pump to the last you 20 years get ready to pay 3 to 6000 dollars. I would not recommend one of these pumps if you're deeper than 200 ft as water delivery is bare minimal

The head pressure from the static water in the casing/bore hole provides for higher pump pressure output. You are testing it at essentially atmospheric pressure, 14 lbs. With a 6" casing and 200' of water above the pump has a pump inlet pressure much higher resulting in increased pump discharge pressure. 🙂

H20 mechanic as an electrician for the great price of that well pump don't splice the feed wires out side the pump, if you're going to void the warranty then do it right. Open the top of the pump and install the 10/3 romex directly into the pump. If you splice wire to the 16 gauge existing wire you're still running the pump on 16 GA wire. Replace the entire wire by going directly into the pump with 12/3 or 10/3 wire then it's done correctly. Just a little advise. Using that rubberized electrical tape is not code I'm sorry, not to tell you what to do. But you need water tight approved romex splice kits, more expensive but the correct way to splice in moist or wet conditions. Just a viewer Jerry

Could you please show and explain what that was in the top of it? I just got one and I’m not sure if I need to return it. Is there a white piece that is just setting in the top of it? Or is it attached to something?

I PURCHASED A MODEL 4SSM5/8 60HZ 1.5 HP 37GPM that worked about 6 months and started kicking reset. after a couple tries, it then kicked breaker in electrical box. I have looked everywhere I could think of and found quite a few control boxes for VEVOR submergible pumps but not one for mine. Please help if you could tell me where to find one. ThankYou

I find myself wondering whether the future might be simple 3 wire pumps connected to a VFD controlled by a continues pressure sense. Put the electronics in the pump house and have the ability to keep the tank pressure in a relatively narrow range.

Very nice , can I use it for a sump pump

Do you calculate your voltage drop to size conductors, or you have done so many, you just know what you are going to use? Do you size conductors based on not burning up the pump, of based on NEC suggestions? Do you consider the distance from well head to the power source conductor size in your calculations?

When you have a rain day can you do tests on your regular pumps for comparison purposes pls.

Assuming you set the pump at 240ft, will you still have enough pressure to make a 40-60psi pressure switch to turn off? Or will you have very little pressure by the time the water gets to the surface since it takes 1/2 a psi per foot?

Can show how it's wired to control box and what model the control box is

I'm curious if this would be a good option for me? How best to decide which pump?

I've got their 2 wire version of this pump and it seems decent. The 1.5" outlet on the top was kind of annoying but it seems to be pumping great at 73' in my well.

I have that pump,except it is 2hp, it works great when hooked up to a generator but as soon as I hook it up to the house breaker the controller trips after 6 seconds. What could it be??

I love your videos!!! I would of never pulled this well with out the info you have shared. I am trying to redo a well from i think the 40s. Its in south mississippi and was an air injection well. 4 inch metal casing un known depth, 220 ft of 2 inch galvinized pipe with 200 ft of 3/4 inch galvinzed pipe inside the 2 inch to deliver the air down to lift the water. They stoped using it in the 60s due to iron content. I think the airlift was oxidizing the iron causing it to drop out and it was causing major issues with plumbing. I have pulled the pipe and the static water level appears to be 100ft. I would like to try a submersible well pump at 220ft on black role pipe. Do you have recommendations on the pump. Id of casing is 3.75 i have not tested the water but plan to possible pump to a holding tank to oxidize and settle out iron prior to a filter system. Any recs are greatly appreciated. I dont know how many airlift wells are out there.

Hi, that pump really measure 4 inches like the description say or a little bit less?

Some good info but never run floating stack bore pumps bellow stated curve and motor leeds provided are normaly intended to be submerged, cheers

You recomend the vevor 3hp for a 150 deep well?

Do you have a video showing how to rewire one of these pumps that has under sized wires attached to it? I bought one of these vervor pumps with the 18 gauge wire already attached and I need to update it to 12 gauge (2hp) and wire it for 240v.

Oh also for every 100' you voltage and amperage, 12 GA is good for 20 Amp at 100' down your only going to get 15 Amp. At 200' down your getting 10 amps. So to get 15 amps. use 10 GA wire which is good for 30 amps. Fuse it with a 20 Amp breaker and at 200 ' you should get the required 15 amps. Jerry

If the internal check valve were to be removed(if possible) would it drain back to the well water level? Emptying the water line above water level.

u have a nice shop! :)

Given your max achieved pressure of 124PSI, how do you figure the usable depth is 250 ft? Looks like a decent pump, but with those numbers you're just getting to grade, right?

I just ordered the 1.5HP 115v version of this. The plan is to drop it in my moms areator so she can get better pressure. The 1/2hp Meyers can't go over 50 PSI.

Hello would this pump fit down a 2" well casing, what is the outside diameter of it? Do you know if they make a pump to fit down a 2" well casing as I would like to upgrade to a submersible pump rather then an above ground jet pump. Where are you located? Can you help me with my well problem.

I bought this same pump with control box. What size wire do I need to run 300ft 12/3 or 10/3 ?

This has got me curious if a 3000W "solar generator" inverter unit would handle the inrush current. Got a true 1.5hp 115VAC hydraulic motor on a Swisher LS22E wired in its default 115V configuration that won't start from the Bluetti AC300 solar generator inverter and a 1hp Drumond 115VAC shallow well pump that was fine starting from the same inverter unit. Did you happen to measure the peak inrush current on this unit?

i bought the 2hp version @ 220v , in a 80 ft well. first pump impellers broke apart in 2 months. Im now on 2nd pump within 3 months. This is running it on a 40 60 pressure switch and a 30 gallon pressure rank. my wires was only 3ft long from the pump, I ran no# 12 from pump to switch. no problems there. Just this second pump jumps 6 inches out of the well head when it turns off. I had to tie it down. any thoughts on this problem?

What is that box doing?

Can this be used to supply a house with water with a pressure tank and points system?

Sorry for the dumb question but can this pump be used to run a household with a 30 gallon cold water tank with a bladder?

when putting into well, how far from botton should pump be ?

How many amps did it increase with the pump running at pressure?

Can I put an end on this wire and plug it into a regular 120v outlet?

capacitor blew in the first of two I bought... the 2nd one has been running good for 3 months now

What kind of Hose do you guys recommend I get for the single drop 1 1/4 ?

Good video. I just unpacked the similar pump and found out that the 'brass-fitting' on top and in the middle are just brass-colored painted steel! This is a poor alternative to the right material...You will get corrosion by connecting to a brass fitting.

If you still have one of these on hand could you possibly send me a few pictures of the control box. I received one of these pumps from a discount store and it didn't come with the box and vevor doesn't sell it separately. I'm sure I can build my own I just don't know the specs on the capacitor and whatever else may be in the box. Thank you

I have the 230 volt 1.5 hp pump but it only came with one hot wire one neutral wire and ground wire. I don’t know how to hook this up to my 230 volt pressure switch with only one hot wire. I don’t think I can use the neutral as a hot wire? Please help Thank you Robin

Do you think 120v pumps are worth having? Seems like 240 is much better for these

Should've shown amps at the 120 psi. How about full load and service factor amps to see how it compares to Franklin or Pentair.

What's the control box used for should I or not buy one with control box

We are replacing a 1 1/2 hp submersible pump in a well that is 35 feet deep. I’m interested in using these Vivor. What size pump do you recommend? The pump you reviewed was 1 1/2 hp. Do you recommend using a smaller size pump. If so what size?

Mine didn’t arrive with a control box. The company sent me $45 back rather than a control box. You can’t buy a control box separately from vevor. I have struggled to build a 110v control box out of a 220v control box.

Did it come with the switch box?

I keep getting alot of gravel and rust my well was 260 now pump at 180 still gravel

bought two...lets see one as a spare

Thanks for the info. Too bad it's a 3 wire. I need a 2 wire pump.

help any one i want to buy one but i dont want to use the box can any one can tell what wire to use just for 110 volt ground and power

1/2hp, 240v pump link goes directly to a Goulds 10HS05422C 4" Submersible Water Well Pump, 10 GPM, 1/2 HP, 230 V, 2 Wire on Amazon... bad link?

120v x 12 amps = 1440 watts / 746 watts per HP = 1.93 HP so it may be under rated .

I have a 1/2 hp Vevor {submersible well pump} the wire coming out of the pump are brown, blue. yellow with black stripe, which is ground, which is starter pump wire, which is running wirer? help, please, reason is I need to add wire to the four foot of wire that comes out of the pump any info would help,

පොම්පෙ ගලවන්නෙ කොහොමද

hp rating for Chinese pump is different. they take the actual wattage used / 746 watt per hp. American hp watt rating is only half of actual wattage used. so this would be a .75 hp US equivalent.

120v x 12amps =1440 watts. 746 watts per hp. It's closer to a 2hp pump

I’d say 16 isn’t good for 100’

Man,I wouldn't use that Chinese thing in a deep well.Unless you don't mind pulling it back out..

Fwiw, Vevor doesn't manufacture. They are a seller of stuff primarily made in China. Sort of like a Harbor Freight.

Leaving the wire like that coiled up will overheat the wire. It should have been unrolled like it were in the well. Some of the amp draw was for the coiled up wire.

Never buy a pump without the pump pressure curve for that particular pump. I would suggest you take an engineering class on pump theory. And yes that is a "Deep Well" pump. Deep Well Submersible Pumps are designed to fit down narrow water wells below 50ft. Of well water elevation after pump draw down. Each well pump curve will need to be matched to its specific well mechanics. This particular "Deep Well Pump" looks like it's designed for the 50 to 100 foot range to be determine by the Well Engineer.

Too bad it's not a 3 inch pump

I want to throw this pump off the dock and run it off 200 feet of good quality extension cord. Waddya think? Tag me in the response

Stay clear,,,they are chaep and nasty.. made of chocolate
