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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rain-brothers-llc.myshopify.com\/collections\/in-home-sediment-filters-c73647289\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"In Home Sediment Filters | Yellow Springs, OH | (937) 949-1100\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ein-home filters\u003c\/a\u003e while getting overall cleaner water!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.
