Shallow Well Centrifugal Pumps

Description

The three main components of the shallow well jet pump are an electric motor, an impeller and a jet assembly. Although a simple centrifugal pump would pump water at this lift, including a jet assembly will greatly increase the discharge pressure and suction. This combination makes the shallow well jet pump suitable for use in farm water pressure systems. Figure 1 shows the flow of water in a typical shallow well jet pump.
