About Acquaer 1/2HP Shallow/Deep Well Jet Pump
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
89% found the motor to be reliable and durable, while 11% experienced frequent breakdowns
The pump is well built with a positive aspect of being made of metal.
I recommend Acquaer pumps to my customers for both deep and shallow wells. These pumps are durable.
I am dissatisfied with the durability of the pump. The seals and bearings between the pump and motor are of poor quality.
I am concerned that the pump may fail in the long run as it sounds like a bearing that needs lubrication.
92% found it easy to install
I added a faucet before the back pressure check valve for using city water to prime the well and pump. The installation of this well-pump was easy.
I found the installation process easy and straightforward, and it was a direct drop-in replacement for my previous pump.
87% praised for its high flow rate
The pump supplies a full 5/8 garden hose of water at a steady flow for garden watering and is virtually quiet.
85% liked the high-quality components, but 15% found them subpar
The pump is well built and made of metal, unlike the previous one which was made of plastic.
I am dissatisfied with the quality of the well-pump. I had to take the back cover off and plug it in again to make it work. The quality of products made in China is really sad, so I will buy American made products from now on.
The gasket provided with the pump is of poor quality and will leak no matter what.
88% liked the quiet operation, but 12% found it too loud
The noise level of the Acquaer pump is the same as my previous pump when operating.
When starting and sucking, the pump produces a weird metallic noise. It's unclear if the noise is loud.
The pump has a high pitched whining noise while running, which is the only issue I have with it.
The pump's noise level hurts my ears.

82% appreciated its high pressure rating, but 18% experienced low pressure
The pump runs smoothly and quietly while putting out up to 50 psi.
I adjusted the cutout pressure side of the switch to prevent continuous short cycling. The pump was apparently shipped with cutout at about 40 psi, but now it keeps up with the 3 spikes at about 42 psi, according to the installed pressure gauge.
