I have a well 200' deep of 4" PVC. tank is at 65 PSI. Will this pump fit inside 4" PVC and work in this application of depth/pressure or what will?

It should mine is in 5 inch pvc I have plenty of room around the pvc pipeing and the pump is around 3inches in diameter my well is onl;y 100 ft deep and pump is set at 60 feet I wouldn't worry about setting it in 4inch pvc as long as there is plenty of water I use it for watering yard

I have a similar well difference 5" well. I install the pump and work for 8 minutes and stop working. Replaced with a different brand, no problems.

this is not a good choice if you put the pump 200 feet down, as the pump will stall (zero flow) at 221 feet of head.Subtract your setting depth from the 'shutoff head', and multiply the difference by 0.433 to get the maximum pressure at the tank.Set your cutoff switch somewhat below that max pressure or the pump will run continuously....

I would not use this pump for a well that is this deep the total head is out side the rating of this pump. A better fit would be the Red Lion RL-12G15-3W2V this pump is rated for up to 500' of head and will provide enough GPM for most applications.

Threads on inside are 3/4 inch. U would need cpvc adapter with 3/4 inch for pump and the right size for whatever hose will fit too.

For 1.5 inch pvc pipe go inside valve, same valve pvc pipe go over and that's what makes 1.5 to 2 inch valve. So it would work

Yes, but run the hose through PVC pipe. I have 150' under ground in pipe only a few inches deep.It works great.

The pump outlet (and inlet) are both 4mm outside diameter(OD). Tubing that is 4mm inside diameter(ID) should work. I found that the vinyl tube used for aquarium air pumps fits nicely.

This generator puts out 120 volts, most deep well pumps are in the well and require 240 volts to operate, if this is the case it will not work, if the pump is above ground check the voltage if it's 120 volt it will work.

I think it only had about 10' tubing total 1/2" size. Pump would be too weak to lift very high. Vinyl tubing is measured by inside diam. it is 1/2"

Yes, I have a 60 ft deep well that I put this pump on and it is wonderful. Easy to set up and easy to adjust water pressure. I highly recommend it.James

You can see a chart on depth/psi and some additional specs here: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/Mine is at 100' - I didn't get a chance to measure the gpm on my install, but it seems at least 12 gpm. Of course, my well is a slow artesian so I usually have 100' of head water on top of the pump. But so far it's been a great pump.

I didn't have problems with mine. I normally run 90 psi and I don't think my depth was maxed. If your running a long line or small hose you might be starving the gun.

The pump will work fine. Biggest problem is the pressure switch that comes with it. It is non adjustable and cut in pressure is so low you pretty much run out of water before it kicks in. There are adjustable switches available that are adjustable and not expensive.

It all depends on how tall your stand is... in other words how many feet up will your pump have to push in order to reach the tank. You should be able to find head pressure values on Eheim's site, so you can figure out if this pump is right for your needs.

If the well is not over 200' (feet) deep the 40-60 should be fine. My well is 180' deep and that is what i have with no problems.

It should. We have two of these pumps, one running about eight feet with an immediate rise about four feet. The second pump is pushing water though a 1.5" hose going 30-40ft with a 6 ft rise and their is no lose of power -- seems to operate with the same pressure as the shorter run -- based on our experience, I think you should be fine.

The 3/4 HP shallow well pictured should be adequate. We pump over 100 ft. . Do not get a 1/2 horsepower.

Original switch rusted, store had on off switches 20/40 30/50 40/60. Our well was about 150 feet deep and we selected a 30/50 and a new pressure gauge,it works fine. We emptied our blue water tank with bladder and with tire pump pressurized tank with air to two pounds below our on number (30-2=28) I do not know max pressure of pump is but very deep we'll would may not reach a high pressure shut off pressure. If you want or need to go up or down but new switch and repressurize empty tank on pressure minus two. Switch about $30
