It isn t hard to interface the pump to the tank and to associate both to the best well pressure tank system. Deep well jet systems are used when the water depth is between 20 and 80.

Mount the pump on a protected base and fastened it down with black screws. Leak in foot valve use voltmeter to check at pressure switch or terminals nearest pump. Jet pump plumbing diagram. Drain valve drain easy draining of.

Defective air volume control 3. A shallow well jet pump s pressure switch regulates the amount time the pump motor runs. We recommend a captive air pump tank. As we see in photos on this page a typical 2 line jet pump has three points of pipe connection.
