Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace a failed sprinkler pump (motor rusted out completely - pump was probably still good). Really was looking for a more efficient pump but couldn't find one. This one appeared to be the exact same as the old Flotec but the new housing is plastic. Motor looks to be better protected against corrosion anyway. The thing was about 1 inch taller than before so I had to cut the feed pipe and install a splice which was a nuisance.
Seems to work OK. Maybe a bit more powerful than the old one but also seems a bit louder. Lowes had one a bit cheaper but last time I bought a pump from them my lawn guy said it was junk and it didn't last a year. This last one (Flotec) lasted about 8 years which is not too bad considering the salt in the air where we live rusts everything.
