Hallmark Industries MA0419X-12A, Deep Well Submersible Pump, 2HP, 230V 60HZ, 33 Gpm, Stainless Steel, for 4" or bigger well

Pump has been running perfectly for over 2 years. Feeding 3 houses, 260 feet deep, with NO check valve at the pump (just one at the top).The construction is excellent. After reading some negative reviews when I purchased it, I invested in some additional quality electrical supplies and took my time to make sure every connection was solid and absolutely sealed. I suspected it at the time, but after two years with zero issues I'm convinced the number one issue with this pump is people misunderstanding and/or doing a poor job with the wiring. Take your time! Be absolutely sure every connection is rock solid, sealed with adhesive lined shrink tubing, and then use PVC pipe wrap tape to secure all your wiring to the bottom of your piping so they won't wiggle and risk coming loose. And use a check valve at the pump. I didn't because I couldn't get one in time and needed water, but you should.I tested mine every step of the way. First in a garbage can just overflowing the water on top of itself (with the wiring covered). Then with the piping attached, emptying back into the garbage can (I did this to clean out the pipe a bit too, but that was unique to my situation). Then again about 20 feet into water in the well. Then of course again at the bottom.I will 100% buy again. At this price I may just keep one on hand.

Installed july 2023. Added check valve to pump and drilled 1/8" bleed hole per directions. Installed down to 226 ft with torque arrestor on 1 1/4" line. Got 24 gallons per minute flow at well head. installed Barrett Pump Stop 1" Plastic Valve - 50# just before the check valve going into the pressure tank to control pump stopping too quickly. So far working great! I get all the water I need. My well produces prodigious amounts of water. I plan to tee off the tank line to feed irrigation on the land next spring.I'll check back in the future to add any comments on performance issues I encounter. 1/25/2025

I bought it and it came today turns out my old one is still kicking so now I have a back up . It’s definitely heavy about 40 lbs it’s a 3 wire two hot leads and a ground 220volt of course.It’s literally 3ft tall biggest I’ve ever encountered , you do have to assemble it but first some minor disassembly nothing big just a few screws.it says you do need a 11/4 check valve on the pump top with a weep hole drilled in that part I’m a bit unsure about but I’ll read up n get ready. It is made in USA in Illinois that’s a big plus. Everything seems to be stainless steel except where the two parts join together I’m unsure what that material is but since it’s not under any real strain I don’t see it matters, anybody who’s ever installed a well pump knows it’s a major pain and if you haven’t done one if your slightly mechanically inclined you won’t have any trouble just don’t overthink it . I got a great deal with a Amazon warehouse sale about 400 bucks less than big box reatail prices so that’s a major plus . Most pumps are designed to work at average 20 years but that’s in a perfect situation it takes me about 5 hours from start to finish since you drag out the old one and rewire and then test it before you drop the pump in .I’ll come back an reevaluate if I am in the predicament of a failed pump, which is likely to happen at some time my current pump has ram about ten years.Hope this helps I’m a regular person trying to save money and still get a great pump.

I have bought 3 of these. 1 died after a week, 1 lasted 1.5 years and died and the 3rd i put in less than 2 weeks ago and it died already. Its residencial use for irragation so not uaed alot.these are junk. Its not easy to pull up a pump thats 120 feet below ground. Save yourself the aggrevation and buy a good pump.

I like this pump. It's doing what it should be doing but there are THREE things I didn't like about it. FIRST: The top of the pump is really small. Usually these tops are a big chunk of steel but this pump has a small cap of metal. I can't say whether this will effect the operation at all and as I said it seems to be working right now. SECOND: I didn't like the 230V wires. They seemed small for supplying current to a 230V pump. The two lines that where the 230V power supply were adequate (maybe a little on the small side). I think they should have been bigger. The neutral line appeared to be really small. This line doesn't matter that much and isn't carrying lots of current so I can see why they left it small. THIRD: I didn't like the holes for the safety rope. I have a big safety rope and the holes were too small for me. I measured them to be slightly larger than 1/4". I would recommend that you buy some marine grade D-ring shackles with the purchase of this pump if you have a line that is over 1/4" thick. I used quick links but had to run all over my area to find a place that had them in stainless steel. Also the safety line holes were on a little wing that came out at the top of the pump. I'm worried that one of these could break especially if the pump is sitting in water for >10yrs. I used both of them. You can see my setup in the attached picture. Overall, the pump is doing what it should be doing which is why I gave it 4stars. I'm not dissatisfied. One note of caution on this though: Almost every part of this pump that I interfaced with appeared to be cheap, wires, cap, safety line holes... There is not much more that you touch when you are installing a well pump. If what I could see appeared to be this cheap I am worried that the rest of the pump is chincy as well. Just a note of caution.
