COMPARE WITH OUR SPRINGER SERIES AUTOMATIC PUMP

While we have loved carrying Strom Automatic pumps over the years, we love our customers even more, which is why we've developed our own line of Automatic pumps for a more affordable option, while simultaneously making improvements to the overall design and function of the automatic pumps. Check out our cost-effective alternative to the Strom Automatic pump: The Springer Series AUTOMATIC 1/2HP and 3/4HP Pumps .

SIMPLE TO INSTALL, SIMPLE TO USE

This convenient and energy-saving pump is a cost-effective alternative to the Grundfos SBA submersible pump. Like the SBA pump, the Strom Bottom Suction Cistern Pump is equipped with an automatic on/off function and does not need an external pressure switch to operate. All you need is 115v power and the pump does the rest! Wire pump direct to panel or a dedicated outlet and plumb it directly to your house supply, hydrant, or irrigation system. Simple operation from an internal flow and pressure switch turns the pump on when pressure drops (i.e., when a valve opens) and turns the pump off when flow stops.

The stainless steel housing with the built in motor flow inducer allows for long term and safe operation in water from depths of 9 inches to 150 feet.

This pump comes in 1/2HP (NEW FOR 2022!), 3/4HP, and 1HP. PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend using the 1/2HP pump for almost all applications! We know it's tempting to "go big," but that's not always the best idea with pumps. 1/2HP is the appropriate size for almost all applications, especially if the cistern is within 100' of your dwelling and the floor of the cistern to the top height of where you're wanting to use the water is 45' or less.. We only recommend the 3/4HP and 1HP pump for commercial installations or irrigation installations where high flow rates and high pressure are required. Please see the pump performance curve below to narrow in on the right pump for your application.

The Strom BSP pump does require some elasticity somewhere in the plumbing for the pressure/flow switches to operate most efficiently. If you are using this pump to run directly to a garden hose and then to a sprinkler system, then the elasticity of the garden hose is sufficient to fulfill this requirement. However, for most applications, our supplemental 2-gallon pressure tank is recommended and encouraged for extending the life of the pump.

We suggest pairing this pump with the Strom Floating Intake Filter , which brings water into your pump from just below the surface, where water is of highest quality in the tank.

NEED HELP DECIDING IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PUMP FOR YOU?

Use our Buying Guide questionnaire to help determine if this pump is well-suited for your application.

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

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.


BUILT-IN RUN-DRY PROTECTION

The Strom BSP will automatically shut down if it detects the absence of water, ensuring that the pump motor stays protected in run-dry scenarios. To reset the pump once water is back in the tank, simply unplug the pump and plug it back in (if wiring the pump to an outlet) or turn off the breaker supplying power to the pump and turn it back on after 15 seconds.

If you would like to have the pump turn on automatically when water is back inside the tank, simply add a normally open float switch to your order, and we will pre-wire it to the pump for you.
