About RPS Water Pumps

RPS Water Pumps is a 100% American-owned and operated company of friendly water pump specialists. Our main shop is nestled in the middle of nowhere next to the train tracks in a stretch of Northern California farmland. Since 2023, our team has been focused on providing water pumping kits that are easy to install yourself - with all the parts and advice required to get you to that DIY (Do-it-Yourself) finish line.

Before RPS Water Pumps, the typical consumer would battle unclear pricing hidden behind distributor markups and high installer fees. Most people just want to get the job done themselves - that’s why we put so much time, money, and thought into developing our kits. Each kit includes all the parts and components that make installing a water pump yourself a breeze. Our reading materials, manuals, videos and diagrams allow customers of all skill levels to install a water pump successfully the first time. To ensure your DIY install success, we also offer a direct line to talk with real humans! Our experienced pump engineers are here to answer your questions, help troubleshoot issues, or plan your pump installation.

How reliable are your pumps?

Some of you may be familiar with RPS Solar Pumps, our sister company. We started development of our first solar pumps in 2012 and after much testing and refinement, we launched our first solar pump for purchase in 2014. Over the years our customers continued to ask when we would release an AC pump, and in 2023 RPS Water Pumps was launched to give consumers even more options in how they can achieve water independence.

Our in-house engineers develop and test all of the AC water pumps we carry. With all our pumps still working in the field since 2014, and ten major winter upgrades from our engineering team, we are confident we have the highest quality pump that you can install yourself on the market, and the only comprehensive DIY kit to make the whole process easy. We believe our customers’ decisions speak for themselves, with the majority of sales this past year coming from happy returning customers and their referrals.

How do you compare with other pump brands?

Consumers have lots of choices when it comes to AC-grid powered pumps. Pumps are a significant monetary investment, but not everyone can be a water pump expert - so how do they know if what they’re buying will really last, and the company they’re buying from will stand behind the product? Our team has over a decade's worth of experience building stainless steel submersible pumps that are made to last. Cheaply made plastic, brass, and mixed material pumps with sub-par motor technology just can’t compete with our pumps - and these cheap alternatives often fail within a year of minimal use.

Cutting out the middlemen (master distributors, distributors, and installers) in the process has decreased the cost of our systems without sacrificing quality. We are able to eliminate the retail and middleman markups to invest in higher-quality materials, allowing us to pass on savings to our customers.

Are there cheaper pumps available? Like in most industries, we compete with lots of cheap products, both from the US and from Asia. Cheap brushed motors, flimsy plastic diaphragm pumps, and fake warranties are making a bad name for direct to consumer pumps. RPS has stayed strong and maintained our high standards, knowing that integrity, quality and reliability win in the end. Our reputation for our commitment to our quality products, warranty and honest, friendly and respectful support is why more customers continue to trust RPS.

Splice kit

The splice kit worked as expected it came with an extra shrink tube and crimp, which was nice to have just in case

Thank you for the great review! We’re glad to hear the splice kit worked just as expected and that the extra heat-shrink and crimp came in handy — we like to include a spare so customers have peace of mind during installation.

If you ever need anything else, we’re here to help. Appreciate you choosing RPS!

you judge a company on what they do when there is a problem

Anyone can be good when everything goes perfectly. When some unforeseen issue arises, the response you receive is what sets a company above the rest. I had a complete failure of a pond aerator. I contacted RPS, and Kyle was exceptional. I sent pics, everyone was shocked and decided it was something no one had ever seen before, and a new pump was sent out to me at no cost.
The new aerator is perfect. Powerful, easy to set up, and running like a charm. I could not ask for a better experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We completely agree—how a company responds when the unexpected happens really matters. We’re thrilled Kyle and the team could get your pond aerator up and running smoothly. It’s wonderful to hear the new unit is performing perfectly. We truly appreciate your trust in RPS!

Easy well pump install

Loved everything about the kit with the exception of the 1 inch pipe. Ordered 150 foot kit and received it in 2 pieces. 100’ and 50’. Had I known I would have bought the pipe local and got it in one piece. Didn’t want a splice in the pipe. Local store sells pipe in 100’ and 300’ lengths. But cost of pipe is cheap compared to having an unwanted splice.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you loved the kit overall. We understand the frustration with the 1-inch pipe being split into 100’ and 50’ sections—sometimes shipping limitations require this. We appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind for future kits. We’re happy the rest of the installation went smoothly and that the kit worked well for your needs!

RPS pumps makes pump replacement easy!

I recently replaced my submersed well pump with an RPS pump using their all in one install kit. My old pump was somehow still semi-working at 51years old! While I don’t expect any pump to last that long, visually the quality of all the components they provided is excellent. The stainless well seal is amazing! And the drop wire looks very durable. They make it easy, providing all the needed installation parts in one kit, and their engineer Matt provided helpful advice on sizing the correct pump for my needs which worked out perfectly! Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad your pump replacement went smoothly and that the All-in-One Install Kit had everything you needed. It’s great to hear the well seal, drop wire, and overall quality met your expectations. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Matt—he’ll be happy to hear his advice helped! We appreciate your trust in RPS and look forward to supporting any future projects.

Stainless Steel Barbed Hose Fittings - For Use With Poly Pipe, Well Ready

Replacement pump

Bought this pump to replace my existing pump that had lost pressure. Pulled the old pump, connected new pump in its place and reinsert in well. All went well.

Thank you for the review! We’re glad to hear the replacement pump went in smoothly and is working well. It’s great when a straightforward swap gets your system back up and running without any hassle.

—The RPS Team

I love these barbed fittings

I love these barbs for IPS. It's such a pain to return and figure out wrongly labeled specs on websites. And almost impossible to find the longer ones. Thank you so much...

Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so glad the barbed fittings worked perfectly for your project—longer fittings can definitely be tough to track down. It’s great to hear we could save you the hassle and get exactly what you needed. Happy building!

—The RPS Team

Great product, Great company

i just replace my existing pump with a new RPS. The pump, motor and controller all arrived in the two days they said and worked perfectly. Very happy with the performance and if i ever need to replace another one it will be with RPS.

Thanks so much for the great review! We're thrilled to hear your new RPS pump, motor, and controller arrived quickly and are running perfectly. It’s awesome to know the installation went smoothly and that you’re happy with the performance. We’ll be here anytime you need us again — thank you for trusting RPS!

Nice Stainless 2" Barbed Fitting

I was looking for a barbed fitting that would fit snugly in 2" Poly Pipe. This worked great. Heated the pipe and fitting went in great. Barbs were plenty long for putting 2 to 3 clamps on each end.

Thanks for the great review! We’re glad to hear the stainless 2' barbed fitting worked perfectly for your setup — sounds like a clean and secure install! Heating the pipe first is a pro move, and those extra clamps definitely help lock it in.

We appreciate you choosing RPS for your project and taking the time to share your experience!

Works

Pumps a crazy amount of water. Ended up with a 2hp because it was cheaper/in stock but didn’t really need the flow. Only downside was the extra weight on the end of a 300ft drop. Got the poly pipe (1in 200psi) from Home Depot, was free shipping.

Thanks for the great review! Sounds like your 2HP setup is really moving some water — always impressive to see that kind of performance in action! We appreciate you sharing your experience and setup details, especially for that 300ft drop — not a small job. Glad to hear everything’s running strong and doing the job well.

Thanks again for choosing RPS and taking the time to share your experience!

Well pump replacement

After a couple of months scratching my head and wondering how in the world am I going to replace an old pump without spending a fortune. Then I discovered RPS Water Pumps. Ryan was extremely helpful in answering many questions that I had. He explained pump sizing and specifications for my particular hole in the ground. Having never done anything like this personally I am so thankful for having used them and their selected parts/materials for completing my job. Everything came together as planned and the project was a complete success.
Thank you to Ryan and RPS Water Pumps.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you found us and that Ryan was able to guide you through the process with the right pump sizing and parts for your setup. It’s always rewarding to hear when a DIY project comes together smoothly—especially for a first-time well pump replacement!

We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Ryan and the team. Great job on completing the project, and thank you for trusting RPS to help make it a success!

RPS from ordering to installing

Great experience throughout the process of talking to a tech to verify what pump to buy, only 1 week shipping from CA to GA and easy install. Mostly the 2hp pump is giving me the throughput I need to keep a 2/3 acre pond full, and supply water to 2 households and a barn.

We’ll use RPS from here out. We have an old well that we may revive with a new smaller pump. So we’ll call RPS again.

Last thing. Watching a fav show, Homestead Rescue and Marty showed an RPS off-grid well system with everything from the solar panels, elec needed, well pump, etc for a complete system with 1 stop shopping at RPS. If I was off-grid that would be my go to system.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear the 2HP pump is giving you the throughout you need for your pond and households, and that the installation went smoothly. It’s great to know our team could help you select the right system and get it shipped quickly.

We’re honored to be your go-to for current and future projects, including reviving that old well. And we loved hearing about Marty featuring RPS on Homestead Rescue—our goal is always to provide complete, reliable off-grid solutions for customers like you.

We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping you with your next project!

Stainless Well Seal

The seal works great. Hopefully the seal will last for years too come. Love this well seal.

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad to hear that your stainless well seal is working perfectly and that you’re happy with it. It’s built to last, so we hope it continues to serve you well for many years to come. We really appreciate you choosing RPS!

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad we could help get your homestead set up and running smoothly. Supplying everything families need for reliable water is exactly what we strive for. Wishing you and your family continued success with your well setup!

Great pump But

Pump was delivered quick, set-up was easy. Pump operated quiet and flawless, that is after working on the nagging leaks. Use the best teflon tape possible along with pipe thread sealer. It took several attempts until I successfully got it to seal. Maybe it was the brass nipples I used, I can't say. The pump is worth every penny.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear that your pump is running smoothly and that setup went well overall. We really appreciate you mentioning the sealing challenges — that’s valuable feedback for others and helps us continue improving our guidance and product compatibility notes. Glad to know you’re enjoying the performance of your RPS pump, and thank you for choosing us!

good product

shipment arrived missing parts. contacted company. was supposed to get a call back and did not. saw they contacted me by email. had to send pictures of everything they sent. 4 days later they let me know they sent the rest of the parts.7 days later the parts arrive, they seem to be in no rush to finish a job. thankfully i had another water source i could use temporarily. the assembly was easy and installation went well.

Thank you for your honest feedback and for giving us the opportunity to make things right. We’re glad to hear that installation went smoothly and that the product is working well for you. We truly appreciate your patience while we resolved the missing parts issue — that’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your comments help us continue improving. Thank you again for choosing RPS!

One and Done Well Poly Drop Pipe Kit for Easy Well Pump Install

RPS well pump

The pump works great so far. I just wish I would have gotten the one GPM size bigger. Doesn’t quite keep up with the irrigation needs I have. But not disappointed at all.

Thanks so much for the great review! We’re glad to hear your RPS pump is working well and appreciate your honest feedback about sizing. It sounds like you’ve got a solid setup running, and if you ever decide to expand your irrigation or want to explore a higher GPM system, our team would be happy to help plan the upgrade. Thanks again for choosing RPS — we’re thrilled to have you in the RPS family!
