Shallow well jet pumps

Description

Shallow well jet pumps are practical for wells or reservoirs that require a total pumping lift of less than 5.5 m (18 ft). Industry Highlights. The three main components of the shallow well jet pump are an electric motor, an impeller and a jet assembly. Although a simple centrifugal pump would pump water at this lift, including a jet assembly will greatly increase the discharge pressure and suction. This combination makes the shallow well jet pump suitable for use in farm water pressure systems.
