To prime a shallow well, first turn off the valve to the water inlet and remove the plug from the pump impeller housing. Pour water through the funnel into both openings and reopen the inlet valve. Return plugs into original position.

How do you install a shallow well jet pump?
A shallow well jet pump sits on the ground next to the well. To install it, connect tubing to the intake side of the pump and put a foot valve on the end of the tubing to control the water. Lower the foot valve and tubing into the well. Remove the drain plug on the pump and pour water in it to prime it. Replace the drain plug, connect the pump to power and turn it on.
How do I know if a shallow well that has not been used for 20 or so years is still good and How do I set up a shallow well pump to it?
If the pipe is still in the ground, drop a weight on a string down it and see how much if any water is in the bottom of the pipe. Shallow wells can come and go depending on location, the source of the water and the weather. If there is still water in it, you hook a pump up to the pipe, prime it and start pumping.
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.
Do all shallow well jet pumps use a venturi tube?
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 is the difference between shallow well and deep well?
The common misconception is that the difference between a shallow well and a deep well is the depth to which you dig to hit water. While this may be true in some cases, this isn't the basis of classification. A shallow well is one where the primary source of water is an unconfined aquifer and a deep well is one which is fueled by a confined aquifer.

Take a 300 ft rope and tie a heavy fishing weight to it... drop it down the well until you hit the bottom... then measure the length. Usually under 150-200 ft is shallow and anything more is deep.
