It's a 1-1/4 H.P. motor with 1" pipe hook up. It on 115 volt service it is a 3/4 H.P. and 21 G.P.M. the two forms of info on the webpage of harbor freight does not match up here. So they have a water pump for $79.99 and that is all we know. Even if it is a 3/4 H.P. it will do all you want. TURTLE --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Transfer rate alone won't help if you are trying to set up a sprinkler system. Many pumps have high transfer rates but low head or delivery pressure. Harry K |

The Webpage there displays the pump as a Shallow well pump for home use. Then it will be designed for at least 100 psi and over 10 gal. per minute rate. House and water well pumps have a min-uses rate to have. If it will not keep this rate up. The customer will bring it back to seller. The show heads will just go down to a dribble when you get going good. It's got to stay a head of a show running or you get it back to the seller. Now they could have even screw that up too. We still really don't know what it is for now. TURTLE --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

![]() The Webpage there displays the pump as a Shallow well pump for home use. Then it will be designed for at least 100 psi and over 10 gal. per minute rate. Well pumps are usually on a 30-50 psi switch. Some even run 20-40. I have never seen one running over 70. I know my well will put out ~12.5 gal per minute on a 30-50 switch for 20 hours because I just filled my pool. |

I know my well will put out ~12.5 gal per minute on a 30-50 switch for 20 hours because I just filled my pool. This is Turtle. Pumps are '' rated '' at 100 psi for water flow ability or Gal. per minute but are not run at 100 psi in the operation of a home well system. The pressure of the water in the home system is dictated by the pressure regulator / control installed on it and like you say 30 to 50 psi on them. The 10 Gal. Per minute is the low end of the scale for a water well service to a home. You have 12.5 gal per minute filling the pool so you have a little better than normal. They make lesser pumps than your to be called normal. TURTLE --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
