That is far too complicated to explain in this forum. Well techs spend 2-3 weeks learning this.

Anything over 80 feet is considered a deep well. A jet pump can pump up from 80 feet, more than that needs a submersible pump.
There are a few parts to an answer. How deep is the water in your well? Is there sludge or sediment at the bottom of the well? How deep is this and how much is clean water? How long is your pump? How long is the motor housing? I just placed a 70cm pump, motor 35cm, in 250cm if clean water. 20cm of sludge. The bottom the motor housing was placed about 40cm above the sludge which means there is about 75 cm of clean water below the water inlet and 175cm of water above the pump. It will take many years for the sludge to rise and even in low water periods I should stay in operation.
A well is basically a hole drilled deep into the ground until it reaches an aquifer, which is a body of rock that transmits water. Wells with electric pumps pump the water through pipes to it's destination.
A foot valve, in relation to a water well, is a check valve at he bottom of a well to keep the water from running back into the well from the pump when the pump is not running. If the check valve does not hold the water the pump will lose it's prime and will not pump water.
yes
A deep well water pump is installed by mounting it in a weather resistant housing next to the well and running power to it. The hoses can then attached to either side of the pump and the pump tested for efficiency.
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.
To install a shallow well pump, first, locate a suitable spot near the well. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the pump and ensure it is level. Connect the pump to the well's water supply line and secure it in place. Install a check valve to prevent backflow. Connect the pump to a power source and test it to ensure proper functioning. Fill the hole with gravel and cover it with a protective cover. Regular maintenance is important to keep the pump working efficiently.

How to winterize a Gould's deep well pump
To install a shallow well pump effectively, follow these steps: Choose a suitable location for the pump near the well. Dig a hole for the pump to sit in, making sure it is stable and level. Connect the pump to the well's water supply line. Install a check valve to prevent backflow. Connect the pump to a power source, such as electricity or a generator. Test the pump to ensure it is working properly. Secure the pump in place and cover it to protect it from the elements. By following these steps carefully, you can effectively install a shallow well pump.
To properly install a submersible well pump, follow these steps: Lower the pump into the well casing. Connect the pump to the water supply line. Secure the pump in place. Test the pump to ensure it is working correctly. Cover the well casing to protect the pump. Follow manufacturer instructions for specific installation details.
To choose and install a window well water pump for basement flooding prevention, follow these steps: Measure the size of your window well to determine the appropriate pump size. Choose a pump with a high capacity and automatic operation for efficient water removal. Install the pump at the lowest point in the window well to ensure effective drainage. Connect the pump to a power source and a drainage system to redirect water away from the basement. Test the pump regularly to ensure it is functioning properly and keep it well-maintained to prevent flooding.
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.
To change a well pump, you will need to first turn off the power to the pump. Then, disconnect the old pump from the water system and remove it from the well. Install the new pump in the well and reconnect it to the water system. Finally, turn the power back on and test the new pump to ensure it is working properly.
You use a sump pump to pump it well away from the house, then install a drain that will help.
It is what is commonly called a "Jet Pump". This is a motor connected to a pump chamber that has 2 pipes going down the well and sucks water through an 'ejector' that increases flow and brings water to the surface. This pump sits at or near the well head. - The other basic type of well pump is a "Submersible" pump. These sit down the well, deep in water and pump straight to the surface through a series of impellers.
