We are currently sold out of this pump. We should have more in stock by June. We do have other options though! If you are looking for an automatic submersible pump with a floating intake, you may consider using our Springer Traditional pump with floating intake with the Springer Series Automatic Pump Controller .

NEW Springer Series AUTOMATIC Cistern Pump with Integrated Floating Intake!

FREE SHIPPING!*

New for 2023 - we've redesigned our standard cistern pump to offer an integrated floating intake. This pump is ideal for whole-house water tank/cistern systems, and with the built-in floating intake, you can introduce cleaner water into your home by drawing from towards the top of your cistern where there is little sedimentation. Heavy sediment settles on the bottom 6" of your cistern, while lighter sedimentation gathers in the top 4-6". By having the intake for the pump float below the top sediment zone and above the bottom sediment zone, you will increase the lifespan of your in-home filters while getting overall cleaner water!

And don't be fooled by other pumps on the market that advertise larger horsepowers - our Springer Series 1/2HP is powerful enough to supply great water pressure and flow to small, medium, and large residential homes for optimal whole house use.

With all the price increases happening and unreliable production, we at Rain Brothers have been working hard to launch our OWN LINE of cistern pumps -- the Springer Series pump collection. Now, we're in control of pricing, and we're working hard at taking what we've learned in our 17 years in business to master a pumping solution for our customers -- and we're doing it all at lower pricing!

This automatic pump is the ideal solution for cabins and small homes, for direct feed to frost-free hydrants/spigots, and for quick and easy drop-in-tank pumping solutions. We do not recommend using this pump or any automatic pump to supply drip irrigation systems for reasons outlined in this article.

The Springer Series Automatic Pumps Feature:

*Built-in run-dry protection (pump will shut off if it detects air in the system, and circuit will need to be manually reset once water is present)

*Integrated Floating Intake with 6' of flexible, 1" suction hose and 6" ball float

*Internal pressure switch and flow switch detects when water is being demanded (i.e., when you open a valve) and turns pump on automatically -- no need for an external pressure switch

*No pressure tank required for installation!

*2-Wire, 115V, 60Hz thermally-protected motor

*304 Stainless Steel Housing

*1" Female NPT outlet

*Internal check valve

*Optional bottom riser to elevate the pump's intake

This pump is ideal for small homes/cabins, and for supplying water directly from a cistern/water tank to a frost-free hydrant, spigot, or hose.

This pump is not designed to pump long distances uphill (greater than 60') because it will not be able to sense a drop in pressure at the top of the hill since the on/off controls for the pump are internal. To pump uphill, we recommend our Franklin C1 series or Springer Series Cistern Pumps with a pressure tank (locate pressure tank at the top of the hill). Also, this pump is not recommended for drip irrigation systems. Again, for that, we recommend our Franklin C1 or Springer Series Cistern Pumps with pressure tanks. Drip irrigation systems are hard on pumps (they are designed to operate with low flow and low pressure, which are the exact opposite things for which a pump is designed). To supply drip systems, a pressure tank is needed with an external switch to control the pump.
