Convertible Well Jet
Pump Water Systems
Description
Jet pumps are single stage domestic water
pumps designed for pumping potable
water in applications where the water is up
to 100 feet (deep well pump). A pressure
switch is a standard feature. A built-in
control valve is available on deep well
pumps. Deep well pumps can be mounted
to either a pre-charged, conventional type
or free standing pressure tank.

20. Where a 2-prong is encountered,
replace the plug with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle in
accordance with the National
Electrical Code, local codes and
ordinances. To ensure a proper
ground, the grounding means must
be tested by a licensed or certified
electrician.
21. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have a 3-prong, ground type plug,
and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the equipment plug.
22. Use wire of adequate size to
minimize voltage drop at the motor.
Do not handle pump
or pump motor with
wet hands, when standing on a wet
or damp surface or when standing in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Pump motor is
equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor
overloading because of operating pump
at low heads (low discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
connections or defective motor or pump.
Pre-Installation
WATER SUPPLIES
The water supplies illustrated in Figure
26 are possible sources for water. These
water supplies can be divided into two
categories:
SURFACE WATER
Water from a lake, stream, pond and
cistern. This water is usually not fit
for human consumption, but may be
suitable for washing, irrigation or other
household uses.
GROUND WATER
Water found in the water bearing
stratum at various levels beneath the
earth. Of all the fresh water found on
earth only 3 percent is found on the
surface and 97 percent is underground.
TANKS - CONVENTIONAL STORAGE
The function of the tank is to store a
quantity of water under pressure. When
full, the tank contains approximately
2/3 water and 1/3 compressed air. The
compressed air forces the water out
of the tank when a faucet is opened.
An air volume control automatically
replaces air lost or absorbed into the
water. The usable water, or draw-down
capacity, of the tank is approximately
1/6 of the tanks total volume when
operated on a “20-40” pressure setting
(Figure 2).
Air Volume
Control
Bladder
Conventional
Tank
Figure 2 - Conventional and
Pre-charged Storage Tanks
Pre-charged
Tank
TANKS - PRE-CHARGED STORAGE
A pre-charged storage tank has a
flexible bladder or diaphragm that acts
as a barrier between the compressed
air and water. This barrier prevents the
air from being absorbed into the water
and allows the water to be acted on by
compressed air at initially higher than
atmospheric pressures (pre-charged).
More usable water is provided than
with a conventional type tank. Precharged tanks are specified in terms
of a conventional tank. For example,
a 20 gallon pre-charged tank will have
the same usable water or draw-down
capacity as a 40 gallon conventional
tank, but the tank is smaller in size
(Figure 2).
PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch provides for
automatic operation. The pump starts
when pressure drops to a cut-in setting.
The pump stops when pressure reaches
a cut-out setting.

Pre-Installation
(Continued)
PACKAGE SYSTEMS
There are four jet pump/tank assemblies
sold as packages (Chart 1).
WELLS
A new well should be pumped clear of
sand before installing the pump. Sand
will damage the pumping parts and
seal. The draw-down level of the well
should not exceed the maximum rated
depth for the pump. The capacity of
the pump will be reduced and a loss of
prime may occur.
Installation
LOCATION
Select a location as close to the water
supply as possible.
Be sure to comply with any state or
local codes regarding the placement
of the pump. The equipment must
be protected from the elements. A
basement or heated pump house is a
good location. Make sure the pump has
proper ventilation. The temperature
surrounding the pump is not to exceed
100° F (40°C) or nuisance tripping of the
motor overload may occur.
This pump is
designed for indoor
installation only. Failure to install indoors
will significantly increase the risk of injury
or death from electrical shock.
PIPING
Piping may be copper, steel, rigid PVC
plastic or flexible polyethylene plastic.
Flexible pipe is not
recommended on
suction pipe (inlet pipe).
The pipe must be clean and free of rust
or scale. Use a pipe joint compound
on the male threads of the metal pipe.
Teflon® tape should be used with
plastic threads. All connections must be
air tight to insure normal operation.
Slope all inlet piping upwards towards
the pump to prevent trapping air.
Unions or hose couplings can be
installed near pump to facilitate removal
for servicing or storage. A rubber hose
installed between the water system and
the house piping will reduce the noise
transmitted to the house.
Plastic pipe can be used on all
installations except 2 in. deep well jet.
The 2 in. deep well jet requires 1-1/4
in. galvanized steel pipe and special
machined couplings (1-13/16 in. O. D.).
The galvanized steel pipe and the
couplings restrict the flow of return
water back to the jet unless the
couplings are machined.
PIPE SIZES
Long horizontal pipe runs and an
abundance of fittings and couplers
decrease water pressure due to friction
loss. See Chart 2 to determine the
proper pipe size.
SHALLOW WELL INSTALLATION
A shallow well jet assembly can be used
with the deep well pump when the
pump is located 25 feet vertically of the
water level. Shallow well installations
have only one pipe between the pump
and water supply (Figure 3).
DRILLED WELL (FIGURE 17)
1. Install a foot valve on the first section
of pipe (Figure 3, Illustration A).
2. Lower the pipe into the well.
3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 5
feet below the lowest anticipated
water level.
The foot valve
should be at least 18
in. from the bottom of the well or sand or
sediment could be drawn into the system.
4. After proper depth is reached, install
a well seal or pitless adapter to
support pipe and prevent surface.

DRIVEN WELL
• Drive the point several feet below
the water table.
NOTE: A packer type foot valve can
be installed in the well (Figure 3,
Illustration B). This type of foot valve
allows the well to be filled with water
when priming and makes the inlet pipe
much easier to test for leaks. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when
installing the packer type foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve
can be used with a driven well (Figure
3, Illustration C). The pipe between the
check valve and the water level will
always be under a vacuum.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow
air to leak into the pipe and cause
abnormal pump operation. Make sure
to use pipe joint compound on all male
pipe threads.

or sediment could be drawn into the
system.
NOTE: When a lake is used as a water
supply, make sure the inlet pipe is deep
enough to be submerged at all times.
Protect the pipe from damage from
swimmers and boats.
Slope the horizontal piping upward
toward the pump to prevent trapping
air. The pipe must be removed during
winter months or protected against
freezing.
Protect the pipe from damage from
swimmers and boats.

RESTARTING PUMP
If the pump has been serviced, drained
or has not been used for some time,
be sure there is water in the pump
housing (volute) and the piping to the
well. There must be water in the pump
housing (volute) at all times when
the pump is running to avoid internal
damage of seal members (See Priming
the Shallow Well or Priming the Deep
Well Sections).
WATERLOGGED TANKS:
CONVENTIONAL
When a tank system has an inadequate
ratio of air and water, the pump will
start and stop often and erratically.
1. Disconnect the power to the pump.
2. Open the lowest faucet in the system
to release all pressurized water in
the system.
3. Prime the pump (See Priming the
Shallow Well or Priming the Deep
Well Sections).
4. Reconnect the power to the pump.
NOTE: As the pump refills the tank with
water, the air volume control supplies
the tank with the correct air to water
ratio for the system to operate. If the air
volume control is good, the pump will
shut off at the desired cut-off and will
be adjusted correctly.
WATERLOGGED TANKS: PRECHARGED
If a pre-charged tank becomes
waterlogged, the bladder is normally
leaking or broken.
1. Test the tank by depressing the air
valve. The air valve will expel water
if the bladder is broken.
2. Replace the tank.
NOTE: Once a bladder is leaking or

(4) locating pins on the back of the
seal plate line up with the tabs on
the motor housing (Figure 15). This
placement should be done to ensure
proper draining and priming.
3. Place rotating shaft seal member in
position on impeller and press into
place. Take care not to press against
polished seal surface.
4. Position impeller on shaft and
tighten securely (Figure 16).

5. Secure diffuser to seal plate
using the two cap screws. Be sure
the screws are orientated on a
horizontal line as described in Step
2.
6. Carefully position pump housing
(volute) gasket over the diffuser
onto the seal plate. In all convertible
applications the seal ring must also
be positioned on the diffuser. In all
shallow well applications care must
be taken that the o-ring is clean and
properly positioned on the venturi.
Cleaning and positioning makes a
good seal inside the diffuser when
assembled.
7. Assemble the pump housing
(volute) to the motor using the
four cap screws. Be sure the pump
housing (volute) gasket is positioned
correctly and tighten the screws
securely.
NOTE: Shaft must rotate freely and
motor end cap should be secured before
operation.
