SHURflo 2088-594-154 Delivery Pump

That purchase the same month ago and hoped it up would basic tools and it works like a charm..

I use this pump to lift (suck) clear/clean water from a spring well located about 5' below the level of the pump. The water is then pumped uphill another 15' into a 2500 gallon storage tank. Although I operate the pump for extended periods, I didn't get the heat sink for the motor. Instead, I plugged it into a timer so that it stops running for 15 minutes per hour to cool. The pump uses less than 60 watts and produces approximately 2 gallons per minute. I have logged about 700 hours / 85,000 gallons on the pump and it still works as good as new. My pump is metered so I can report that my total electrical cost has been about $7.15 (at 17 cents / KWH) or about 120 gallons of water for each penny of electricity! I considered lots of different options before I got the Shurflo 2088. Based on the specifications, it appeared to be the most cost-efficient option I could find for my application. It has certainly exceeded my expectations. My only regret is that I didn't buy two so that I could double my pumping rate when needed and also have a spare on hand for when it is time to replace the diaphragm after 2000 hours of use. Although I work servicing and installing well pumps, I had never installed one of these pumps for a customer. Considering my positive experience with this pump, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to recommend it provided the water being pumped is clean or could be adequately filtered prior to entering the pump.
