I found the exact same pump but 24v. This should solve all my wire sizing issues. It only pulls 5amps so with #10 wire the run can be 70’ with a 3% voltage drop (0.72v) The pump looks exactly the same as the 12v one I’ve got. It’s sold by a different company though so a different label...

I'll be keeping a close eye on the static water level this summer. that's why I'm reluctant to break open the piggy bank just yet. If the water stays around the 20' mark year round then having my pump at 50' will be fine. If not then I'll have to go deeper and with a different pump, maybe...

I was considering cutting the wire that I have (100' #10/3 in half and using each 50ft length on the positive and negative. Three #10 wires combined is equivalent to one #5 wire. which I don't think exists so round it up to #6. According to southwire.com volt drop calculator. A #6 wire can...

Sorry, I should have being more clear about wire I have got. Its 100ft of 3 core #10, so technically I've got 300ft of #10

Here's a photo of it. 12v 10amps 230ft lift 100ft max depth Does anyone have any experience with this pump?

Hi, I’m new to the fourm. Installing a 12vdc pump (10a max current) in my 140’ well. I’ve only got 100’ of 10awg wire. The voltage drop is crazy if I use this, something like 17%. I can’t afford to buy 6awg wire which I think it needs. The water level in the well is 20’ below the surface...
