Flotec Model # FP0S3200A: Need to know if this pump can be used for continious service. Need a all plastic 1/2 hp pump.

I can not answer this question, as I use the flotec pump intermittently to prime an inground pool circuit

I use mine in a sump hole in my cellar for flood and runoff and especially spring thaw. These past few weeks we have had a lot of snow and ice melt fast and my pump has been going for a couple weeks some times shutting down for about a minute at a time and it has worked beyond my expectations. I live in Massachusetts.

I guess it's not recommended by the manufacturer, but I use it for a small outdoor water feature -- pumps water from a small pond to the top of a waterfall. I run it for hours at a time.

It's not expensive for a 1 1/2 hp pump that is 110/ 240 v when I shopped around I found the MSRP was false and varied end user prices were much closer. Watch for shipping fees pump is heavy. Use ground if possible

I would not recommend this pump or the company selling it. Mine pumped just fine and then burned up on the first use. (It ran for about 5-10 minutes). After returning the item I never received my refund. I purchased a different pump and so far it has been much better. Do not waste your money.

I agree with Marlowe. The pump can't be regulated, however I put an inline regulator in my system. Pretty simple fix to regulate max pressure.

Yes, a 1hp pump will work, but so would a 1/2 hp. The location of the pump/filter above the pool water level will effect the performance of the pump filter. Check the pricing of different hp pumps, buy the most cost effective.

No problem, I use it as a pool cover pump and sometimes I have it running dry all day. It's a GREAT PUMP. Just be careful of the plastic pipe parts. I buy extra plastic parts online.

1. This pump does not have a continuous duty rating. 2. Even someone skilled at estimating this application would need to know the vertical distance of the highest point in your system compared to the pump's position and the hose diameters. I remember finding the specs and use instructions for the pump at Wayne's website.

Hi Cynthia, this pump would do it, but there are better units available for your purpose. It has adequate pressure, but relatively low volume, which I estimate would be down to around 1.5 gallons per minute with your particular application. You really need to look for specifications of around 7 - 8 gpm and 60 - 70 PsiChrrs Chris

I know it's not the same brand pump. The old pump is a Briggs and Stratton, but they are too expensive. RT, please explain how you know this will fit. Thanks, appreciate your help.

I just looked at the owners manual which lists Flotec's precharged tanks, and the series FP7120-xx should be pretty much the same. Id only be concerned with differences when it would be listed as FP7125. That would be the 50 gal tank. Looks like you have the same 35 gallon pressurized tank. Great tank by the way!

I am sorry that I am not familiar with that specific model pump. If the shaft size is the correct diameter aand the pump is of similar design and purpose then it would be worth a try.

Hi, just be aware that it may fail also with little use. As soon as my warranty was out, my pump failed. They replied to my Amazon review that they'd exchange it but then only offered a discount. Not an honest company.

I run this pump in 1 HP model in a lake floated on its side. In its third year and working fine. If the water is relatively clean, it would help. I push the water 150 yds sideways and 75 ft up a hill.

No. This is a single-user pump and should not be purchased used. It is an open system, and use by more than one person voids the warranty.

in your situation I would do the following....using the flojet pump which is part of the package, you will need to connect this to two hoses - the intake side goes into one of your buckets (pulling water from the bucket - remember this can use 2.9 gpm so hope your buckets are big or you have lots of water available ), the other hose is your cold water intake side for the eccotemp. The pump provides the necessary psi water pressure needed to make the eccotemp operate. I use a similar system here in the Dominican Republic. Water here comes via gravity feed from a 400 gal tank on the roof, but this is not enough psi feed to make the eccotemp operate. Hence the 12v waterpump. This is how I get hot water here without having to use very expensive electricity. Hot water when and where you want it. Has worked flawlessly for past year - 20 gal propane used in 1 year C. Poole

Hi, I purchased a FP4022-08 in 1998 and it has performed flawlessly since then on a daily basis as the primary water supply to my residence. This model was replaced by the FP4022-10 and I am not certain but I would expect that is what is currently available. The motor can be wired for either standard residential single phase 110 or 220 VAC and that was clearly indicated in the instructions. The intake is 1 1/4" NPT and the discharge is/1" NPT both female threaded ports. Feel free to ask additional questions as I have installed and maintained a very similar pump for aapoximately fifteen years.

These units are made for computers. There are devices (e.g., Laser Printers) that you shouldn't hook up to this. I don't know whether a pump as a load would be appropriate. Even if it would be OK, there are other similarly-rated units that are cheaper because they don't have the features of this unit, and for a sump pump you wouldn't care about these features. APC's number is 800-800-4272, ask for tech support for more information before buying this unit.
