- Will it pull water from a deep well?
- No. It is a shallow-well booster, so the water level needs to be within roughly 25 ft of the pump. For deeper wells you need a convertible jet pump or a submersible.
- Does it come with a pressure tank or switch?
- No. It is the pump alone, so for household pressure you supply your own pressure tank, switch and plumbing.
- How loud is it in real use?
- The rating is 55 dB or less, which is about normal conversation level. Expect more noise when running at full speed on a long hose run.
- Can it run continuously?
- It is built for intermittent duty such as filling a tank or watering a garden. Long continuous runs will heat the motor and shorten its life.
- What is the difference between the 150 ft and 100 ft head figures?
- The listing gives both. Treat 100 ft as the realistic maximum push height and plan your setup well below that for usable flow.
