All shallow well jet pumps use an ejector (or jet), which consists of a nozzle and venturi tube. Centrifugal pumps on the other hand are also shallow well pumps without a jet.

What are the steps in converting deep well water pump to shallow well water pump?
A deep well submersible pump can be simply placed into a shallow well and it will work. These pumps actually pump water directly and do not rely on suction. Simply cut your tube to desired length and place the deep pump in the shallow well. -NOTE- this does NOT work the other way - a shallow or jet pump is just that and can never work in a deep well.
How do you convert a shallow jet well pump to a deep well pump?
Depending on your pump, you may not be able to convert it. There are three basic kinds of jet pumps for wells. Shallow, Deep and Convertible. In the typical configuration the shallow well pump is the easiest to identify. It should have a single opening (1 1/4" diameter) on the front face. All the pumps will have the discharge on the top of the pump (1 1/4" diameter). The dimensions in parentheses are from my old Montgomery wards 1.5 hp pump to give a reference. The Deep well and convertible pumps will have two openings on the face. Depending on the manufacturer and model they can be big on top or big on bottom. In the deep well installation, the eductor and venturi are usually located within 10' of the water surface during well drawdown. In the convertible installation the eductor and venturi are typically bolted directly to the face of the pump, covering the two holes and providing just the one suction line. Hopefully you have a deep well or convertible type with the eductor and venturi bolted to it. All you have to do is extend the two lines on the front of the pump to the eductor/venturi (within 10-feet of the water surface) and then continue one suction line don into the water and place a foot valve on the end. try going to the pump manufacturer's website and reviewing the installation manual, it should have some good pictures that will point you in the right direction.
What is venturitube?
a short tube inserted into a pipeline and used to measure the quantity of a liquid that is flowing in the pipeline well this is a venturi tube. this is probably the same as venturitube. hope that's ok....
Where can you find information about shallow well pumps?
Go to Myers Pump website as it is the most popular domestic pump.
How does a jet pump work in a water?
There are two types of jet pumps. Deep well jet and shallow well jet. The deep well has it's jet (ejector) in the well. The jets come in two different configurations. Two pipe and single pipe. The two pipe uses two pipes lowered into the well to the existing water level with the jet on the end. The single pipe jet is hung in the well with only one pipe. The jet has two leathers to seal it to the casing making the casing the second pipe. The shallow well jet pump has it's jet on or in the pump. These pumps can only lift water 25 feet. Once primed, the jet pump will force water down the pressure pipe into the jet, where it will be sent through a nozzle (of differing sizes depending on pump and water level) and into a Venturi tube (also differing in sizes) which creates a vacuum that will send more water up to be captured in the storage tank.
What is the difference between shallow tube-well and deep tube-well?
A shallow tube-well is typically less than 30 meters deep and is used to extract water from shallow aquifers close to the surface. On the other hand, a deep tube-well is usually deeper than 30 meters and taps into deeper aquifers to extract water. Deep tube-wells are generally used in areas where water availability is limited in shallower depths.
How do you adjust a shallow well pump pressure switch?
You need to increase your pumps pressure cut off switch. You should go to the manufacturer's website to find the correct pressure area's and how this done.
What is called membrane pumps?
well membrane pumps obviously
How does a jet pump work in a water well?
The most basic jet pump has a round pump chamber containing an impeller. The outlet to the well is large and the outlet to pressure tank is small. When the pump is primed and switched on it will suck water in and expel it at a higher rate. They are very susceptible to air leaks -every connection MUST be airtight.
How does a water well works?
This would depend on the well type, deep well, shallow well, free flow well - you would need to be more specific. But the basics are: suction tube from the well, check valve to keep well primed, pump, bladder tank to create pressure and that's about it.
Is flow in a Venturi tube laminar or turbulent?
In laminar flow, air resistance is proportional to velocity of the body whereas in turbulent flow, air resistance is proportional to (velocity)2.
How does a residential water well work?
This would depend on the well type, deep well, shallow well, free flow well - you would need to be more specific. But the basics are: suction tube from the well, check valve to keep well primed, pump, bladder tank to create pressure and that's about it.
