Ratings & Reviews for Utilitech 230-Volt Stainless Steel Submersible Well Pump

Submersible Well pump

Put in new well designed to fill new pond. Pump has been running non stop for three weeks. Pond is getting filled. Well built pump with check valve at pump head. Easy installation

Waste of Time & Money. Shame on you Lowe's!

I purchased and installed the Utilitech 0.75 well pump on July 10, 2016 and it stopped working on August 15, 2017. One year, one month, and 6 days. Pitiful! I wouldn't use one of these pumps again if they were free. When I bought this pump, I must admit that I had reservations about the build quality. But, as is often the case, I was in a jam and had to have a pump. My bad. I will dip water out of the river before I ever buy another pump from Lowe's. Don't waste your money on this junk, buy a qu...

PUMP FAILED AFTER 24 MONTHS and 3 WEEKS

Pump installed depth: -165 ft. Water Level:-60 ft. Usage: 2 adults. Worked fine, without any problems for 2 years and 3 weeks. At that point, it stopped working. Since the warranty was for 2 years, it failed "out of warranty. For a deep well pump this is an unacceptably short life, which should be closer to 20 years, not 2 years. Since Lowes does not offer repair parts for this model, this is a total loss.

Emergency purchase

I am the family handyman for many members of the family. My in laws gave me a call stating that their pump was turning on and off frequently and could not shower more than a minute. During my diagnosis I determined that the pump was pulling over 21amps. We ran lowes to pick up this pump. The pump installed like any other pump, just make sure you have a pipe wrench to install your. Barber fitting into the pump since there are no square ends to grab on. Overall good product we will need to wai...

Stopped working after 1.3 years

Died on us 1.3 years after installing it.

not worth the money

we bought this a year and half ago and already had to replace. warrenty only a year so that was worthless.

I WISH THIS PUMP WERE EVEN WORSE

Lasted one year and three months. If not for the three months, I could have gotten credit. My prior pump lasted 9 years.

Died after 2 years

The pump died after 2 years of use at 120ft. I just purchased a Franklin from a well supplier for 525, it's a little more money up front but I won't have to worry about the pump for atleast 10 years.

bad

If I could rate this as no stars then I would. We had the pump for 6 years and it just quit working. Plumber said pumps last way longer then this. We had a pump for over 20 years prior to this and it worked fine. This is sad that a company would not review these reviews and do something to help their customers. Ours was completely rusted out, over 6 years, really? Definitely do not recommend this purchase. My husband spent a lot of time replacing this for the second time.

Working well

This pump was installed by our well contractor to replace a pump that had worn out. He said it was a good brand and it is working well for us.

Substandard Pump

My previous well pump lasted more than 20 years, but this Utilitech one only lasted 7 months. I am surprised Lowes chooses to sell a product that has such poor quality. If you buy this pump make sure to save your receipt, you will need it to get your money back when it fails after just a few months.

Will fail right after 1 year warranty

I installed this pump 11/2015 and now 1/2017 just 2 months after warranty it has failed. For over $350 it only lasted a year...The well tank was also replaced at that time and still works fine (just tested it) so the pump wasn't being overworked, its just poorly made. When your out of water its a headache and its tempting to get one of these cause they are in stock and get it fixed asap if your a handy man. But trust me take the time to order a better quality one otherwise you'll be right bac...

easy to install. only one problem

had problems with my pump it shorted out so needed to replace . This was a great price and was easy to replace by my self. The only problem I had was I picked up a check valve but they had no way to connect to pump in the store. Needed a nipple. After I got home and started to assemble the check valve after I went and got a nipple I didn't need the check valve for there was one inside the pump. Would of know that would of saved me a lot of searching for the nipple. and a trip back to town to...

This thing works well!

I replaced my well pump about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, the pressure tank was also waterlogged, and I was just putting that job off. This pump has probably worked 50 times as hard as it normally would have had to with a properly pressurized tank. I was just waiting to end up with a head full of shampoo in the shower when this thing gave out. Never happened. Very pleased with this product.

Not Recommended

Had one installed and lasted a little over 3 years. Warranty expired after one. Lowe's does not offer an extended warranty. Purchase something better for the cost of this one.

Stopped working

This pump pushed water with ease from 140 feet down. Unfortunately after 2 years it quit working and I have to go buy another one.....not the same brand though. You would think a $500 pump would last 20 years, not two.

Franklin Motor

I bought this pump because it had the Franklin Motor. My old pump of 20 years was a Franklin. It was an exact replacement and I also replaced my control box at the same time. Everything so far is working as it should.

Okay purchase

This product was $100 more than I if I had bought it at one of the wholesale shops I have Accounts at. But on a Sunday and a holiday weekend it was a great Buy.
