Can it supply household water pressure?

No. It is a transfer pump without a pressure tank or pressure switch, so it will not hold steady house pressure. Pair it with a tank and switch, or use it for irrigation and transfer.

How deep a well can it pull from?

The maximum suction depth is 26 ft. That is a shallow-well limit; deeper wells need a submersible or deep-well jet pump.

What fittings does it use?

It has standard 1 in NPT inlet and outlet ports, and hose adapters are included in the box.

Does it need priming?

Yes. Like most shallow-well pumps, the suction line and pump body must be filled with water before starting, and re-primed if it runs dry.

Can it run sprinklers directly?

It can. The 87 PSI maximum and 1200 GPH flow are enough for hose-end sprinklers and drip lines, though flow drops as head rises.

Our take on the PEXCHO 1.5 HP Shallow Well Pump 1200 GPH

The PEXCHO is a 1.5 HP shallow well pump rated at up to 1200 GPH and 87 PSI, with a 164 ft maximum head. It has a stainless steel pump head and cast aluminum housing for rust and corrosion resistance, and it is ETL certified with an IPX4 water-resistance rating. The 1 in NPT inlet and outlet and 26 ft maximum suction depth suit lawn and garden watering from a shallow well, cistern or rain barrel. It is a straightforward transfer pump for homeowners irrigating a yard; it is not a pressure-tank system and will not hold household water pressure on its own.
