A jet pump draws water from a water well through a suction pipe. These pumps are self-priming, have no moving parts, and are installed above ground. The primary components of these single-stage centrifugal pumps include an impeller, diffuser, along with jet ejector (venturi and nozzle). Their primary purpose is to provide potable water for various applications, including households, small businesses, and sprinkler/irrigation systems. It is crucial to size the jet pump correctly to transfer water from one point to another.

Jet pumps have gained popularity in areas with high water tables or those experiencing warm climates. They are typically used where it is inadvisable to use submersible pumps or the local authorities have restricted their use. Jet pumps use the venturi effect to draw water. The venturi nozzle creates a jet of water, which generates suction to help pull water from its source, including a well.

Property owners should ensure that the jet pump never runs dry, or it can damage the pump permanently. Jet pumps can be operated manually or fitted with a pressure switch for automatic functioning.

Shallow vs. Deep Well Jet Pumps

Two common types of jet pumps are shallow well pumps and deep well pumps. The depth of the well determines which type of jet pump is the most suitable for a particular application. The altitude can impact the depth from which the pump can draw water. The two are differentiated based on the jet ejector’s location.

SHALLOW

  • Shallow jet pumps can pump water from wells up to 25 feet deep.

  • The jet ejector is located in the pump housing.

  • These are typically used to meet residential water supply or provide water to fulfill irrigation needs.

  • Shallow well jet pumps are installed inside the home or an outbuilding.

DEEP WELL

  • Deep well jet pumps are used for wells with depths up to 150 to 200 feet. 

  • The jet ejector is housed in the well below the water level.

  • They can meet the water supply needs of large properties and commercial buildings. 

  • Although deep well jet pumps are installed inside a well, the impeller motor functions above ground.
