Common Questions

Q: What is the maximum suction lift?
A: Shallow well jet pumps typically lift from depths up to ~25 ft with airtight suction plumbing and a foot valve.

Q: Do I need a pressure tank?
A: A pressure tank is recommended for stable pressure, fewer cycles, and longer pump life.

Q: Is the pump self-priming?
A: Yes. Prime the pump and suction line on first start; it will re-prime if the suction line remains flooded and airtight.

Q: Can I wire it for 115V?
A: Yes. The dual-voltage motor can be configured for 115V or 230V. Follow the nameplate wiring diagram and use a properly sized circuit.
