Zoeller shallow well and convertible deep well jet pumps feature sturdy construction, corrosion resistance, easy serviceability, and excellent performance. Well pumps are used to deliver water from a well to a home that is not connected to a municipal water supply. They are also commonly used for small-scale irrigation and livestock watering. Well pumps are available in shallow, deep well convertible, and submersible designs. Jet well pumps are surface pumps configured above the well system, while a jet assembly system (twin pipe or Packer depending on the application) is inserted into the well shaft. The main components of a jet pump are a nozzle, venturi, and the jet itself. The pumps components work together to create a vacuum above the water, which allows atmospheric pressure underneath to push the water upwards. Jet pumps can be either horizontally or vertically configured and are much the same size and shape as other pumps.

The Goulds VJ series vertical Deep Well Jet Pump series are designed to deliver water at high capacities in homes, farms, cottages, and various booster service systems. Goulds VJ Deep Well Pumps are easily serviced: each pump can be taken apart by removing four bolts and without disturbing the piping. Goulds VJ Deep Well Jet Pumps are corrosion resistant, with electro coat paint applied to the interior and exterior of the pump before being baked on. These pumps are easy to prime with a vent at the top of the casing, including the mechanical seal chamber, for a more thorough air purging and efficient priming. The NEMA powered motor is built for continuous operation within the motor's recommended working limits and includes a built-overload with automatic reset. An adjustable automatic pressure control valve guarantees maximum capacity at all times, while a by-pass check valve equalizes pressure in the entire system, which prevents the loss of prime. The basic pump unit includes the pump, motor, pressure switch, tubing, fittings, pressure gauge, bushing, and the AV21 pressure control valve. The twin pipe deep well package includes the jet body, nozzle, venturi, and foot valve. The Packer system includes the jet body with built-in check valve, nozzle, and venturi. Please note that the Packer system also requires a well casing adapter: AWD2 for 2" connections or AWCJ3 for 3" connections.

The Goulds SJ series vertical Deep Well Jet Pump series are designed to deliver higher capacities at deeper settings in homes, farms, cottages, and various booster service systems. Goulds SJ Deep Well Jet Pumps feature a stainless steel pump shaft with hex design for positive impeller drive and the elimination of clearance adjustments. The components are corrosion resistant, including the glass filled thermoplastic impellers, stainless steel wear rings, and stainless steel coverplates. Electrocoat paint is applied to the interior and exterior of the pump and baked on. These jet pumps are easy to prime with a top mounted vent plug that allows air to escape from the seal cavity during the initial priming and powered for continuous operation within the motor's recommended working limits. An adjustable automatic pressure control valve guarantees maximum capacity at all times, while a by-pass check valve equalizes pressure in the entire system, which prevents the loss of prime.

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.

Over 43 million Americans still get potable water from a private well according to a U.S. Geological Survey study - roughly 15 percent of the population. The well pump is thus one of the most important day-to-day tools for many Americans and well pump service is a critical need. The responsibility for maintaining a private well system thus falls to whoever owns the property the well is situated on. It can be a headache for a private homeowner with no technical expertise to understand and address maintenance issues as they crop up. Well pumps come in various types: shallow well jet pumps mounted above a well use suction power to create atmospheric pressure that pushes water up from a source no more than 25 ft. underground. Deep well jet pumps, for pumping from a source more than 25 ft. underground, place the jet mechanism at the bottom of the water source; the jet pushes and pulls water in a circulating motion through a two-pipe system. In a submersible well pump system, the entire body of the pump is placed underwater and pushes the water up the well instead of using suction. These compact pumps are generally more efficient and reliable than older jet pump models. Each type of well pump has its strengths and weaknesses, but they all require consistent maintenance. People who get their potable water from municipal systems probably have the luxury of not thinking about pumps. If you draw your potable water from a well, you must remain vigilant about the problems you could face. That means being watchful of certain symptoms that could indicate your well pump might need maintenance or replacement. The following are some of the most common symptoms that  cause customers to consult Pump Products technicians. [This post is meant to be a basic overview. It is not a comprehensive how-to manual or a call to poke around in your system. Please do not hesitate to contact the trained professionals at Pump Products to directly address specific issues. It is recommended that all electrical work be handled by a qualified electrician.] (more…)
