The pump is built to be installed below the water line (submersible), which helps minimize noise and wear from exposure. Has a 3-wire motor which allows for proper grounding and safer operation. Flow rate is approximately 20 GPM, enough for moderate irrigation demands or household use. The housing and components are potable water safe, meaning they won’t contaminate water. Works on standard voltage appropriate for many regions. Requires a suitable control panel or starter box if voltage/current demands are significant.
