By following these steps carefully, you can effectively install a shallow well 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.
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.
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.
