Believe it or not, Jet Pumps are not associated with the awful New York football team. They are referred to as such because they work similarly to a jet engine in the way they create large amounts of pressure. Jet Pumps are mounted above ground and are non-submersible. They are typically used to draw water from a well through a suction pipe in order to provide potable water or domestic water pressure. Other common applications (though certainly not limited to) include light commercial or residential irrigation and supplying water for sprinkler systems. Jet Pumps are typically more popular in warmer climates or areas with high water tables. Jet pumps come in two variations: deep well and shallow well. The type of jet pump most suitable for your application will be dependent on the depth of your well. Shallow well jet pumps are used to transport water from wells as deep as 25 feet. Deep well jet pumps are generally used for depths up to about 200 feet. Deep well jet pumps can move larger volumes of water more quickly and over longer distances than shallow well pumps. Please note that altitude can affect the specific depth to which a pump can draw water from. Deep Well Pumps can also be referred to as convertible jet pumps. This means that the pump can be used in either shallow or deep wells. In a shallow well setup, an ejector kit (or jet kit) is built in or attached to the pump. For deep wells, the kit is placed down in the well. This ejector kit helps force water up from the bottom of the well. If you already have a jet pump and you are looking to determine whether it is a deep well or shallow well pump, look at how many pipes are between the pump and the water source. One pipe indicates a shallow well pump while two pipes indicate a deep well pump. It is important to keep in mind that jet pumps should never run dry. Running a pump dry may significantly and permanently damage the pump. These pumps need to be primed first before they are ready to draw water. In order to prime your jet pump, first make sure the electricity to your pump is off. Next remove the priming plug on the wet end of the pump (or the side opposite the motor). Then fill the priming vent with water until it reaches the top of the vent. The idea behind this is to remove all the air from the pump housing. After the pump is primed, your pump is ready to go and you can turn the electricity back on to the pump. If the pump does not pull water within five minutes you may need to re-prime the pump.

The Goulds centrifugal 3657 series is commonly used for pure water transfer, chemical transfer, pharmaceutical procedures or food and beverage processing. This series features materials made of superior construction. Liquid end components consist of precision investment cast 316 stainless steel for added corrosion resistance and strength. Casing for this series features an investment cast AISI type 316 stainless steel volute design for maximum efficiency. Vertical discharges come standard but are field modifiable to four standard positions. The frame mounted design allows for flexibility of installation and driver arrangements. Mechanical seals are standard Flowserve 31 seals with carbon versus silicon-carbide faces, Viton elastomers, and 316 stainless steel metal parts. Optional seals are available for high temperature and mild abrasive services. A close-coupled, compact design saves space and simplifies installation. An enclosed impeller allows for maximum efficiency and service life with no need for clearance adjustment. The back pull out design also simplifies maintenance by allowing the casing to remain in the piping during disassembly. Shafts and sleeves are comprised of high strength steel. Motors in this series are NEMA standard JM or T frames that are available in both single and three phase designs with a variety of enclosures and voltage to match your service requirements.
