Sta rite pump for $75... Worth it?

That is a really old one. Looks like the old oil filled type motor. Check the date code. It might last a while or it not run an hour.

Our original Sta-Rite 1.5 HP pump lasted 28 years....on an 82 gallon galvanized tank that was completely undersized for the pump.
But I would not give $75 for the pump.

Always put a used pump ina barrell of water, run it, check the running amps as you close a valve to zero flow, then record the maximum pressure made. try it half shut and pressure at say 50 psi and measure the outflow in GPM. Now you know something.

Wise decision! I have several 1/2 hp submersables that I would love to get $75.00 each. They worked when we pulled them and could last for years or they could die tomorrow!
