About shallow well jet pumps

Jet pumps are placed above the surface of a well. If your water source is located at the surface, such as a shallow well, lake, or cistern tank, a jet pump may be required. In most cases, they are found in the basement or a well house.

Jet pumps are the most common type of pump for shallow wells. They are mounted above wells and use suction to draw the water up. The height that the water can be lifted depends on the weight of the air. Though air pressure varies with elevation, jet-pump-operated shallow wells are commonly limited to 25 feet.

Single drop jet pumps are the best shallow well pumps. They feature one-way check valves to keep pumps primed. Also, the pump sits above ground, drawing water through a single inlet pipe. Because the mechanics are straight-forward, they tend to need less maintenance.

How jet pumps work

Jet pumps create pressure through the use of an impeller or centrifugal pump. The impeller moves water — known as drive water — through a narrow orifice, or a jet, mounted in the housing in front of the impeller.

Constriction of the jet causes the speed of moving water to increase. As the water leaves, a vacuum draws additional water from the well. The extra pumped water combines with the drive water, discharging into the home at high pressure.

The process of drawing water with a shallow well jet pump is that it also uses water. As a result, the pump needs to be filled with water, or primed, before it can work. One-way check valves are installed to keep the water from flowing back down the well.

Increase jet pump longevity with regular service and maintenance

An above-ground, one-line or two-line jet pump can operate for many years before requiring replacement. They can last as few as four years to as many as 15 to 20 years. That said, issues may arise if not properly maintained.

Shallow well systems and water pumps may require updates in water technology and maintenance to keep the water running. You can add to their longevity and stop problems from arising with preventive maintenance.

Shallow well pump service and maintenance is a specialty of ours.
