GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
FOR USE WITH A PRESSURE TANK. DO NOT
USE FOR IRRIGATION APPLICATIONS!
Typical Pump Setup
1. Shallow well jet pumps are designed for use
where the suction lift is 25 ft. or less. They
can be used with drilled or cased wells.
2. Jet pumps can also be used with dug wells,
driven wells or with cisterns or lakes.
Ventilation - Ventilation and drainage must be provided to prevent damage to the motor from heat
and moisture.
Freezing - Pump and all piping must be protected from freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain
pump or remove completely from the system.
Water Supply - The water source must be able to supply enough water to satisfy the capacity of
pump and water needs. See performance chart on page 2.
Suction Lift - Suction lift is the vertical distance from the lowest level of the water to the pump intake.
Pump will move water as long as it is within 25 vertical ft. of the water source.
Horizontal Distance - The horizontal distance is the horizontal measurement between pump suction
and the water source. This distance may affect the ability of pump to operate. If it is more than 100 ft.,
call the manufacturer for assistance: 1-800-742-5044.
