Goulds J+ Convertible Jet Pumps Buyers Guide & Review

The Goulds J+ Convertible Jet Pump series can be used for either shallow or deep well applications (with appropriate Goulds fittings) in homes, farms, cottages, and various booster service systems. New deep well applications require a separate jet assembly package (twin pipe or Packer style).

A key feature of the Goulds J+ Convertible Jet Pump is the air handling ability, meaning the pump can automatically re-prime itself after the initial prime, even when air gets into the system. Pumping will simply resume as soon as the water level rises above the foot valve. In addition, the pump is powered for continuous operation within the motor limits, corrosion resistant (with baked on electro-coat paint), and easy to service, featuring a nozzle clean-out plug and back pull-out design. The two component motor compartment allows for easy access to the wiring and replaceable components. Each pump is rated for continuous duty.

The protected mechanical seal is a of a special diaphragm design that retains water in the casing at all times to ensure that the mechanical seal will never be run dry. The impeller is FDA compliant, corrosion and abrasion resistant glass filled Noryl, while the tubings and fittings are FDA compliant engineered plastic that is corrosion and UV resistant. The bolt down diffuser provides positive alignment with the impeller and includes a stainless steel wear ring, as well as FDA compliant, injection molded, glass filled Lexan for extended performance in abrasive conditions.

The basic pump units below are configured for shallow wells by default. The basic unit includes the pump and motor, pressure gauge, and bushing and a pressure switch with tubings and fittings (a deep well set up requires a JDW fittings package or an AV22 kit.). Additional fittings and a 24″ tubing to connect to a pressure control valve are included.

Additional components may be required. A shallow well package includes a shallow well adapter, nozze, venturi (diffuser), gasket, bolts, and pipe plugs. A twin pipe deep well package includes the jet body, nozzle, venturi (diffuser), and foot valve. The deep well Packer package includes the packer body, nozzle, venturi (diffuser), and a built-in check valve. The Packer system also requires a packer adapter on the wellhead.

Please note that deep well systems require a pressure control valve. All systems require a pressure tank (sold separately).
