Using a Shallow Well Jet Pump

A jet pump is necessary in order to pump water coming from a steady source of water supply. In order to successfully use a pump you will need several components as well, such as a power supply and discharge lines. Most water supply systems use a jet pump in order to deliver a consistent supply of water in every home. Different types of jet pumps, such as deep well jet pumps and shallow well jet pumps, work for different applications. A shallow well jet pump is ideal for wells with a depth of no more than 25 ft.

How shallow well jet pumps work

A jet pump is composed of a centrifugal pump and a jet assembly or also known as an injector. In a jet pump, the centrifugal pump component is designed to accommodate the functions of the injector. The injector on the other hand helps to improve the pressure discharge of the pump, resulting in a jet pump that works in the most optimal way possible.

In deep well jet pumps, the injector is usually located at its bottom side, below the water level so that water is pushed and pumped back up. A shallow well jet pump on the other hand has the injector placed higher than ground level and is usually limited to a lift of 25 feet. Convertible jet pumps are jet pumps with injectors which may be placed on the pump or below in the well. Several types of pumps may be used for shallow wells, but the most frequently used pumps nowadays are jet pumps.

Tips in buying a shallow well jet pump

Before buying a shallow well jet pump, make sure that you have all the components or materials you need to ensure the proper function of your pump. These usually include the discharge lines, suction lines, and casing. You will also need to know the depth of your water source, as well as your water supply requirements.
