This is an excellent pump for the price point. The only concern I have is with the self priming function. It really doesn't self prime by filling up the pump itself, you will need to fill the pipes running from the pump itself back to the water source. I have two 90's one from the pump turning to the water source and the other dropping two feet in to the water source. This is a total of about 10 to 12 feet max. If this is the cause of the pump not self priming can someone let me know.
You can not go wrong procuring this pump. It is my opinion you will be very satisfied.

This is a well-built quality pump. However, I just learned that the motor is not designed for outdoor use, so I am going to have to build a small "pump house" over it to protect if from rainwater. Otherwise, it runs cool, quietly, and pumps plenty of water for my sprinkler system. I'm still glad I bought this pump. I expect many years of service from it.
Installed by a professional, who could not get the pump to prime properly or maintain pressure. What frustrating experience. Will never buy another Red Lion product.
