VEVOR 1.1 HP Shallow Well Pump with Pressure Tank, 120V 1320 GPH, Plastic Irrigation Jet Pump with 5-Gal Tank, Automatic Water Booster Transfer System, 20/40 PSI Pressure Switch, for Home Garden Lawn

1.1 HP Motor Pushes 1320 GPH with 164 ft Maximum Head Pressure

Powered by a 1.1-horsepower, 800-watt motor, the shallow well pump with pressure tank delivers up to 1,320 gallons per hour through your water pipes. This flow rate can handle large-scale irrigation tasks, water lawns for large estates, and support domestic pressure boosting without struggling to meet demand. The pump can deliver water vertically to elevated storage locations or over long horizontal distances, where friction losses would slow a weaker unit, and it has a maximum head of 164 feet.

The 120-volt, 60 Hz power input connects to any ordinary household outlet, so there is no need for special wiring or a dedicated circuit for most setups. The pump is capable of lifting water from shallow wells, cisterns, or surface water sources to a maximum suction lift of 26 feet. This combination of flow rate and head pressure addresses the most frequent domestic water supply problems for homes with low municipal pressure or pulling from a private well.

5-Gallon Pressure Tank Reduces Pump Cycling and Extends Motor Life

The included 5-gallon pressure tank stores pressurized water, so the pump doesn’t have to run every time you open a faucet or activate an irrigation valve. The motor would cycle on and off all the time with every little draw, without a tank. That 19-liter reserve smooths out brief demand spikes and allows the pump to rest between longer run cycles. This directly translates into a longer overall service life.

The shallow well pump with pressure tank has a built-in pressure gauge, so you can easily check system pressure; no tools or accessories are needed. The pump refills the tank automatically once the tank pressure reaches the lower level. At the highest limit, the pump will switch off, and the tank alone will supply water until the pressure drops again. This self-regulating loop keeps your water supply running while also preventing engine damage from the wear and tear of repeated brief cycling.

20/40 PSI Automatic Switch on This Shallow Well Pump with Pressure Tank

The shallow well pump with pressure tank has a pressure switch that automatically starts the motor when the system pressure drops to 20 PSI and stops it when the pressure reaches 40 PSI. This range is sufficient for the correct operation of most domestic plumbing systems and landscape irrigation systems. The switch takes care of both automatically, so you don’t have to remember to turn the pump on when pressure drops or turn it off when the tank is full.

This automatic cycling also protects the system from overburden. Running the pump continuously outside its optimum pressure range would place undue stress on the motor and pipe fittings, risking damage to downstream fixtures. The 40 PSI cutoff completely solves that problem by limiting the output to a safe level, and the 20 PSI activation threshold ensures that water pressure will never be low enough to interfere with your sprinklers, hose bibs, or domestic faucets during normal operation.

Thickened Plastic Pump Head Resists Deformation and Prevents Contamination

The shallow well pump with pressure tank head is made of thicker plastic and is designed to be stiff and resistant to warping under continuous working pressure. Unlike cast iron heads, which can contaminate the water stream with rust particles over time, the plastic housing keeps the water clean throughout the pumping process. This is especially important for irrigation applications, where polluted water can clog drip emitters, spray nozzles, or micro-sprinkler heads, which are susceptible to particulate buildup.

The plastic construction will also not react to chemical exposure during the pumping of water containing fertilizer residue, low mineral content, or other dissolved chemicals typically found in well and surface water sources. The thicker housing profile provides structural integrity comparable to metal alternatives and eliminates corrosion as a long-term maintenance concern. It can be used for years in continuous service on an outdoor pump subject to seasonal temperature changes without cracking, rusting, or degrading.

Thermal Overload Sensor Shuts the Motor Down Before Damage Occurs

A built-in temperature sensor continuously monitors motor temperature during operation and automatically shuts down if temperatures exceed safe limits. The most common cause of dangerous overheating is running the pump dry when the water level in the source falls below the suction intake. This thermal protection detects this condition before serious harm can occur and shuts off the motor until temperatures drop to a normal operating range.

Automatic overload protection means you don’t have to babysit the pump during long irrigation runs or overnight operation. If a well runs temporarily low, or a supply line develops an air lock that cuts off flow, the sensor reacts faster than you could detect the problem yourself. You resolve the problem, the motor cools, and the pump starts running again as usual.

Shallow Well Pump with Pressure Tank Handles Garden, Lawn, and Home Water Needs

This is a comprehensive water supply system with a shallow-well pump and pressure tank for properties that require stable pressure across various applications. Our shallow well pump with pressure tank is suitable for garden irrigation, grass sprinkler systems, pressure boosting for domestic fixtures, and small farm watering operations. The 1-inch NPT fitting is compatible with conventional home plumbing connections, so adding the pump to an existing water line is only a matter of basic plumbing work, without requiring special adapters or bespoke fabrication.

The motor housing is rated IPX4 for splash protection when installed outdoors. However, it is recommended to install the unit under a simple cover or shelter to prolong its life in areas with heavy rain or hard winters. The place where the impeller joins the motor has a mechanical seal to prevent leaks. It provides a tight closure even with constant vibration. Whether you’re boosting municipal water pressure or setting up a separate irrigation loop from a shallow well, this system provides the flow, pressure, and automation to keep water where you need it.
