Yes. You can use a deep well pump as a shallow well pump. You simply can not go the other way. A shallow well pump produces a vacuum and draws the water to the top by the vacuum. It is restricted to 20 feet maximum depth. Deep well pumps use a different mechanism. They either lift the liquid or pump it with a pump at the bottom of the well. They do not have the 20 foot limit.

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.
Can you convert a deep well jet pump to a shallow well jet pump by plugging the top three quarter inch opening and drawing water in through the bottom one and a quarter inch opening?
You can convert a deep well jet pump to a shallow well jet pump by plugging the top three quarter inch opening, and drawing water in through the bottom one and a quarter inch opening.
Can you use a deep jet well pump as a shallow well pump by plugging off the top hole and only using the bottom?
yes
Can you use a deep well jet pump as a shallow well pump by plugging the top hole off and just using the bottom hole in the pump?
yes
Is 250 considered a deep well or shallow well?
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.
Can you use shallow well pump for deep well?
A shallow well pump is not suitable for deep wells, as it is designed to lift water from depths of around 25 feet or less. Deep wells typically require submersible pumps or deep well jet pumps that can operate at greater depths, often exceeding 100 feet. Using a shallow well pump in a deep well could result in inadequate water delivery and potential damage to the pump. It's crucial to select the right pump type based on the well's depth and water requirements.
What size input pipe is used for a shallow well jet pump?
5inches
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.
Where can you buy a 2 hp shallow well pump?
I have been in the Well/Pump business for over 40 years. I have never seen a shallow well jet pump that was over 1.5hp. They make a few deep well jets that are two horse and lots of centrifugals, but not the jets in 2hp. If you were to find one, it would probably be sold in a big box store and would be highly overrated.
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 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.
What are the rpms for the motor on a CountyLine Shallow Well Jet Pump Model CLTS5?
The CountyLine Shallow Well Jet Pump Model CLTS5 typically operates at a motor speed of 3,600 RPM. This speed is standard for many standard pumps designed for residential use, providing efficient performance for shallow well applications. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise information.
