Why this exists

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that around 43 million people in the United States get their household water from private domestic wells — wells owned and looked after by the household rather than a utility (USGS overview). Those households shop for pumps, tanks, and controls one brand site at a time. This library puts the specs side by side.

How to use it

Search above, or open a catalog. Each catalog is a dense, sortable chart with filter chips for brand, type, well depth, horsepower and phase. Tick Compare on up to four rows to line them up. New to sizing? Read sizing basics first.

About this site

The Well Pump Reference Library is free and has no ads, no affiliate links, and no tracking parameters in its links. Facts come from official manufacturer pages and catalog PDFs and from public retailer listings, last checked Nov 15, 2026. Notes are written in original words; pump curves and marketing text are never copied, only linked to the maker’s official page.

Price rule. Price = lowest in-stock price for a new unit of that exact model seen on a public US retailer or manufacturer-store listing (seller named and linked), checked on the date shown. No affiliate links. If no live price was found, a $ band is shown as an editorial estimate. If no live price was seen for that exact model, the cell shows an editorial band, labelled “Editorial estimate”: $ under $250 · $$ $250–$600 · $$$ $600–$1,200 · $$$$ $1,200–$2,500 · $$$$$ over $2,500.

Logos. Brand marks appear only once official ones are added (see icons/README.md); until then each brand is shown as a plain text badge. Specs change, so always check the manufacturer’s current page.
