What is a Jet Pump (Shallow & Deep Well) and How Does it Work? 🌊
The Jet Pump is a versatile type of centrifugal pump used in homes with wells to draw water up to the surface. Unlike a submersible pump which is placed inside the well, the jet pump lives *outside* the well, typically in a pump house or your basement.
A jet pump works using an ingenious "ejector system" and is categorized by the depth of the water source:
- Shallow Well Jet Pumps: Use a single pipe to pull water directly from depths of 25 feet or less.
- Deep Well Jet Pumps: Use two pipes (one to send water down, one to bring it up) and an ejector assembly placed inside the well to lift water from depths up to 100 feet.
- The pump creates a high-pressure stream that, via a specialized nozzle (the jet), creates the necessary vacuum (suction) to draw well water into the system.
- This water is then pushed to your pressure tank and distributed throughout your home.
Jet pumps are mounted above ground and use a jet assembly to move water from the well.
We are experts in both Shallow Well Jet Pumps (single-pipe installation) and Deep Well Jet Pumps (two-pipe installation), ensuring you get the right solution tailored to the exact depth and capacity of your well.
Common Jet Pump Problems & Signs You Need Expert Repair 🛠️
While reliable, jet pumps for all depths are susceptible to specific issues. Recognizing these signs early can save you from a complete water loss. If you experience any of the following, call a Harris Plumbing expert for Jet Pump Repair in the Simcoe County area.
- Losing Prime: The pump runs but delivers no water. This often indicates air leaks or a low water level in the well.
- Short Cycling: The pump turns on and off too frequently. This usually points to a problem with your pressure tank or a leak in the system.
- Low Water Pressure: A weak jet or a clogged nozzle in the well can reduce the water flow significantly.
- Constant Running: If your jet pump never shuts off, it suggests a severe leak or a failed check valve, leading to high utility bills.
Our certified plumbers specialize in diagnosing these specific jet pump failures, from checking the pressure switch to repairing the ejector assembly whether it's at the surface or deep down the well.
