FOTING 1.5HP Shallow Well Pump with Pressure Tank 115V 1340GPH Booster

Description

Product Overview

The FOTING 1.5HP shallow well pump is engineered to meet the demanding needs of homeowners, hobby farmers, and small‑scale commercial operations that require reliable water delivery from a shallow well or borehole. Powered by a robust 1.5 horsepower electric motor, the pump features a precision‑balanced impeller that creates a strong suction capability of up to 23 feet, allowing it to draw water efficiently even from deeper sources. Coupled with a 5‑gallon pressure tank equipped with a calibrated pressure switch set to a range of 4.5 bar, the system automatically maintains consistent water pressure throughout the day, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

The pump housing combines high‑impact plastic with reinforced metal components, delivering a corrosion‑resistant, lightweight yet sturdy construction that can withstand the rigors of outdoor installation. A carbon ceramic mechanical seal protects the internal moving parts from wear and leakage, extending the service life of the unit. The unit operates on standard 115 V AC power and is capable of delivering up to 1,340 gallons per hour (GPH) while achieving a maximum lifting height of 164 feet, making it suitable for a wide range of irrigation and water‑boosting applications.

• Motor Power: 1.5 HP
• Voltage: 115 V
• Flow Rate: 1,340 GPH
• Maximum Lifting Height: 164 ft
• Pressure Tank Capacity: 5 gal
• Material: Reinforced thermoplastic and iron tank
• Dimensions: 17″ L × 10.5″ W × 20″ H
• Weight: 34.2 lb

Usage

This pump is ideally suited for a variety of outdoor water needs. Whether you are looking to irrigate a residential garden, keep a lawn lush and green, supply water to a small farm or orchard, or provide a reliable water source for a cabin or off‑grid property, the FOTING shallow well pump delivers the performance and reliability required. The automatic pressure regulation ensures that water pressure remains stable even during peak demand periods, such as when multiple sprinklers are operating simultaneously.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the 1″ NPT inlet and outlet fittings, which connect easily to standard PVC or metal piping. The pump can be mounted on a concrete pad, a wooden platform, or directly on the ground, provided the location is protected from direct exposure to the elements. Because the unit is designed for shallow wells, it works well with wells that are less than 25 feet deep, but the powerful motor also allows it to handle deeper sources when paired with appropriate suction piping.

Typical use cases include:

• Garden irrigation systems that require consistent pressure for drip emitters or micro‑sprinklers.
• Lawn watering with rotary or oscillating sprinklers that benefit from a steady flow.
• Livestock watering troughs on small farms where reliable water delivery is essential.
• Filling water storage tanks for rainwater harvesting or emergency backup supplies.
• Providing water to cabins, RVs, or tiny homes located in remote areas.
