What is the difference between a jet pump and a convertible jet pump?
A shallow well jet pump can pump water from 0′ to 25′ deep. A convertible well jet pumps water from 0′-90′ deep. A convertible well jet pump can operate between 0′ to 25′ with a shallow jet well nozzle or between 25′ to 90′ deep with an ejector assembly.
What does it mean to have two line jet pump?
“Two line” refers to the fact that two water pipes connect the pump to the well. Since the lift capacity of a two-line jet pump is not limited to the shallow-well depth of 27′ chances are that where you find a two line jet pump installed it is drawing from a deep water well.
What’s the difference between jet pump and submersible pump?
For a lake or cistern installation, it is the depth to the surface of the water. For Jet pumps, it is the vertical distance from the pumping water level to the suction opening of the pump. For Submersible pumps, it is the vertical distance from the pumping water level to the point of water usage.
How does the drop pipe work in a jet pump?
The center pipe (commonly known as drop pipe) is suction. The annular space between the drop pipe & well casing is pressurized by the pump, similar to the garden hose analogy mentioned above. Note the double water opening. Water under pressure is used to move water in a Deep Well Jet Pump System.
What kind of jet pump do I need for a 2 ” well?
Typical 2″ pitless adapter. Jet pump with a seal cross (seen at left), Box elbow and Pitless adapter (not shown). Vertical multi-stage deep well jet pump. Homeowner installed shallow well jet pump. Non-code compliant shallow well jet pump.

How do you install a convertible jet pump?
STEP 3For convertible jet pumps attach the ejector to the pump housing, making sure that the 1 1/4” and 1” tapped holes in the ejector match up with the 1 1/4” and 1” tapped holes in the pump housing. STEP 4Install a 1 1/4” foot valve on the bottom of the suction pipe.
