When water is in a pressurized container, any air inside that water can't escape. Simply increase the amount of air, or decrease the size of the container.

AnswerMake sure that the water is completely turned on at the meter. Better yet call your city services and and let them check to see that it is turned on all of the way

What was used to help pull water up from the aquifers found deep underground?

A pump, such as a submersible pump or a jet pump, is typically used to draw water up from aquifers found deep underground. These pumps create a vacuum that lifts the water to the surface for consumption or other uses.


How deep will a vacuum pump water from?

i believe the question should be stated as "How high can a pump pull liquid when mounted above the liquid source". an old pump adage is that a pump doesn't suck. sounds dumb, but it refers to the necessity of having a positive pressure at the suction of the pump greater than the required net positive pressure req'd by the pump. NPSHa must be greater than NPSHr. in any system open to atmosphere the surface of the fluid will have 14.7psi (at sea level) X 2.31 ft/psi, or roughly 34' of head, or NPSHa, available. the manufacturers performance curves will show the NPSHr of the pump at any given flow for a given impeller trim. by subtracting this NPSHr from the calculated surface pressure you can arrive at a general maximum lift that the pump can run at. there will also be line friction losses that will reduce this height, and typically we subtract another 2-3' for a fudge factor as you would not want to run on the ragged edge. so, a pump with an NPSHr of 8' would be able to lift cold water approx 22' before cavitating. getting it primed is another issue, and having said all this, there is a type of centrifugal that can successfully trick this seemingly rigid restriction on lift. the typical home commercial jet pump can lift from many times this limited depth by taking a portion of the high pressure discharge and sending it down a separate pipe and into the suction pipe. this effectively increases the suction pressure and allows this type of pump to lift from quite a depth. a really neat way around having to install a down-hole pump submersible. of course the type of pump, what you are pumping, temperature, vapor pressure, specific gravity, and viscosity will all affect the height that a pump can lift a fluid. If the question is ' at what height we can place the suction side of pump from the water level from where it is pulled up', then if we are not considering the NPSH (which is not practical of course) , then i think that the maximum height of the suction side will be the height which will balance the pressure which is on the water level below from where it is pumped. If the pressure there is atmospheric pressure (at the water level below suction side)then maximum height of water rising is 10.3 m around(will vary according to the fluid being pumped). Above it water will not rise whatever vacuum you create though pump.(Its just like in barometer where mercury doesn't rise above 760mm, although there is vacuum above it in the tube. This is because at base of inverted tube of barometer, pressure is balanced). In practical of course the height is much less of course otherwise cavitation will take place when pressure falls below Vapor pressure of the Liquid being pumped.


What is injected into high pressure air in a jet?

Answer this question… What is injected into high pressure air


When connecting a 240V line with two hot wires and a ground does it make a difference if the red or black hot wires are connected to L1 or L2 for a jet pump pressure switch?

No, it does not matter which hot wire (red or black) is connected to L1 or L2 for a jet pump pressure switch in a 240V setup. The important thing is to ensure that each hot wire is connected to one of the two load terminals of the pressure switch. Make sure to also connect the ground wire for safety.


What causes dirty water to jet stream after backwashing?

Dirty water jet streaming after backwashing could be caused by a clogged or malfunctioning backwash valve, an incorrect setting on the filter valve, or a high pressure in the system. It may also indicate a problem with the filter media or a need for additional filter maintenance.

Where is the pressure switch in a well water supply?

The pressure switch in a well water supply system is typically located near the pressure tank. It is connected to the water line and is responsible for activating the pump when the pressure drops below a certain level and turning it off when the pressure reaches a specified point.


What would cause loss of water pressure when pump kicks on after only 5 minutes of water use even after replacing jet pump pressure tank and switch?

bad check valve or a leak.


You changed a water press contvalve from jet pump to water tank. Water is not going through systemto house fixtures after turning pump back on. Why not?

Did you "RE-PRIME" the pump after you changed the pressure control switch? A likely reason you are not getting water would be that the pump "PRIME" was lost when you changed the pressure control switch. Pump seals can be burned up quickly if you run a jet well pump with no prime (lost prime) and will cause them to leak around pump shaft.

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.


Why is my jet pump not building pressure?

Your jet pump may not be building pressure due to a clogged intake, a leak in the system, a malfunctioning pressure switch, or a worn-out impeller. It is important to check these components to determine the cause of the issue.


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 test is there to find out why pressure in water pump is low?

Depends what kind of pump. -If a submersible pump, the AMP test is good. If amps are within 'service factor' and pressure is still low, you have a bad 'wet end' or a leak somewhere. - If a jet pump, it may be cavitating, have a blocked nozzle, or have a warped impeller.
