I want to use this to connect to a deep well water pump. Will this work? Is this process easy? Do I need any additional things?

I don't know what the Horse Power is on your Well motor, but I'm sure it isn't more then the generators output. If your well motor is less then 20 amps you won't have any problems. I know you read my review on this generator, and this generator is a good unit, but I really recommend the Champion Power Equipment 46533 it's a little bit more money, but me and my coworkers think it's worth the difference. It's only $50 dollars more, but if you don't have the extra cash then this one will work fine. Don't for get to use synthetic oil! You really don't need any special equip, just make sure you have a extenuation cord that plugs into the generator. Good Luck on your project.

depends on the size of the pump, but most are 1/3 or 1/2 HP and need less than 1000 watts, Its a safe bet this generator can handle it

Most well pumps are 240 volt. You stated "deep water" which would indicated a need for a higher hp pump. Usually any pump over 1/3hp will be a 240v pump. These generators are 120v only!

This unit is only 120 volt. Chances are a deep well pump is 240 volt. My answer is no if it's 120 volt.

This generator puts out 120 volts, most deep well pumps are in the well and require 240 volts to operate, if this is the case it will not work, if the pump is above ground check the voltage if it's 120 volt it will work.

Yes, it will work with existing wires going outside to the pump area. The only thing to consider is that the existing wire on your unit might be using "telephone" RJxx connection. My contractor just had to splice the wire to make the connection.

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

Good Evening Ana Laura Lewellen. If your well is a shallow well with above ground equipment, Yes the pump will work. Are you using the existing expansion tank?

Other than some nuts bolts and washers to actually fasten it to the top of the barrel. You will need a 1-1/4" male to 3/4" slip (female) adapter and a short piece of 3/4" schedule 40 pvc pipe. Then just cut a hole slightly larger than the outside diameter of the pipe. Should be about a 15-20 min job. To make it easier not only on the kids but anyone pumping water I would suggest that you also install a foot valve on the end of the pipe. Helps in making sure the water stays in the pipe thus it stays primed and ready for use. Good luck and have fun. I love my pump. Works grest!

Take it down to Home Depot and they'll sell you the adapter so you can connect it to a water hose. The threads are for plumbing type connections. The adapter will make it work.

I've never tried but assuming the plumbing connectors are correct it should work. I will say one thing. This is the worst pump in the world. Had it back to the shop three times and I was told I pump too hard. Waste of money.

It would work. Pump would run longer. I WOULD use 1 1/2" pipe from pump through check valve.

Yes, it's what you want to use. I have my well pump that's 220 volts plus other electrical on my generator using it.

Yes, I have a 60 ft deep well that I put this pump on and it is wonderful. Easy to set up and easy to adjust water pressure. I highly recommend it.James

Can you tell me where you found those instructions? I read the keystone manual. Did not find instructions on how to connect a pump. Does it require drilling a hole?

Hi, I actually am a licensed plumber and it should work. It comes with ends that are restricting so that the flow should not exceed what the output is. At least I think it comes with these fittings. I used this to heat a baptismal pool, so I replaced the factory ends with hose adapters and used a pump to recirculate the water until it came to temperature. It took a few hours but it will heat it up! If it does not come with the restricting fittings, which I am fairly sure it does, you can get them at a plumbing supply house like Ferguson or Noland. Hope that this helps!!

pump only simply plug directly in (no switch) run a few seconds if wanting to test whole assembly including switch depth on and off.. lower into 5 gallon bucket approx 13 inches depth, should turn on. but beware, the water will pump out and douse you if not prepared. Call for better clarificationCSH

This unit only requires a .4 GPM flow rate to ignite. Your water pressure has little to do with it, so it will likely work just fine. That said, if your water pressure is "all over the place", you may need a new pressure tank. It has a pressurized bladder in it that helps stabilize the water pressure as the pump turns on and off. I have a well, and the water heater works great, by the way. Good luck.

Works well for a sump pump but not sure how it would work for a well. Not sure the lengths of the sensor leads would be appropriate for that purpose.

You will need a 1/2" female npt X 1/4" adapter to connect to the pump, I would recommend plastic to avoid damaging the pump

Remember to hook the main ground wire between pump and heater .No. Just make sure it's plugged into a GFI receptacle. You also should know how to cut and glue PVC pipe. If your pump is plugged in the same receptacle it should be a GFI and be just fine. The flow of the water through the heater turns it on and off. Plus you must have enough water in the tub also. I hope this helps.
