Description
Product Overview
The FOTING 1.6HP Shallow Well Pump is engineered for high‑performance water movement in residential, commercial, and agricultural settings. Powered by a robust 1.6 horsepower electric motor, this pump can move up to 1600 gallons per hour (approximately 26.7 gallons per minute) while lifting water as high as 147 feet. Its construction utilizes premium stainless steel for the pump head and an aluminum alloy body, delivering resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and harsh weather conditions. The pump operates on standard 115‑volt AC power and includes a 6.6‑foot power cord for flexible placement. With a compact footprint of 13.5″ L × 7.5″ W × 10″ H and a weight of just 23.1 lb, the unit is portable yet sturdy enough for continuous use. The included 1‑inch NPT inlet and outlet simplify connections to hoses, PVC piping, or other water delivery systems, while the built‑in thermal overload protection safeguards the motor from overheating.
Usage
This pump excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. Homeowners can rely on it for garden irrigation, draining flooded basements, or filling ponds and water features. Small‑scale farmers benefit from its ability to boost water pressure for sprinkler systems, livestock watering, and irrigation of vegetable rows. The portable design, complete with an ergonomic iron handle, allows users to transport the pump across large properties, from the garden to the barn, without strain. Its 115‑volt plug makes it compatible with standard household outlets, and the 6.6‑foot cord provides enough reach to position the pump near a power source while keeping the suction line in the water source. Whether you are clearing a clogged ditch, supplying water to a temporary construction site, or simply refilling a rain barrel, the FOTING shallow well pump delivers consistent flow and pressure.

FAQ
Can this pump be used with a garden hose?
Yes. The pump includes a 1‑inch NPT inlet and outlet that easily connect to standard garden hoses using appropriate adapters. This allows you to direct water to any location on your property, whether you are watering a flower bed, filling a sprinkler system, or draining a small pool.
What safety features protect the motor?
The pump is equipped with an automatic thermal overload protection circuit. If the motor detects a temperature rise beyond safe limits—often caused by running the pump without water—it will shut off automatically. This prevents motor burnout and extends the lifespan of the unit.
Is the pump suitable for continuous operation?
While the pump is built for robust performance, it is recommended to operate it in cycles of up to 30 minutes followed by a short rest period. This practice helps manage heat buildup and ensures the thermal protection system can function effectively, providing reliable service over many years.
How do I maintain the pump for optimal performance?
Regular maintenance includes inspecting the inlet screen for debris, cleaning the pump head with fresh water after each use, and checking the power cord for wear. Periodic lubrication of the motor bearings (as per the user manual) and storing the pump in a dry environment when not in use will keep it operating at peak efficiency.
What warranty does FOTING provide?
FOTING offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and motor failures under normal use. Should any issue arise, contact the customer support team with your purchase details, and they will guide you through the warranty claim process, including repair or replacement options.
