Welcome back to Inspector Pumphead Recommends! In this feature, I will be recommending a specific pump model and highlighting the features, specifications, and benefits of this pump. It could be a new product, a best seller, a seasonally appropriate pump or one that is strongly recommended by the application engineers.

Let’s dive in!

Myers HR505 Shallow Well Jet Pump

Today I am highlighting the Myers HR50 convertible well jet pump. The Myers HR50 pump is a jet pump typically used for well service in residential homes, farms and even in commercial/industrial applications.

As a convertible jet pump, the HR50 type can be used for either shallow well (less than 25 ft.) or deep well (25 ft. or more) applications with the proper fittings. Pump Products carries both subtypes as complete units, the HRD50S for shallow well applications and the HR50D for deep well applications. Please note that for new deep well installations, a jet assembly package or Packer style package must be purchased separately.

Construction

The Myers HR50 has a cast iron pump case with a precision molded polycarbonite impeller and a mixed ceramic/stainless steel shaft seal. The motor is dual ball-bearing with a voltage selector switch (115/230) in a dual compartment. The diffuser includes a stainless steel wear ring. A square D pressure switch with adjustable on/off settings is included, as is a priming screen.
