1.5 HP Shallow Well Pump Description

A 1.5 HP Shallow Well Pump is an above-ground jet pump designed to draw water from shallow sources (up to ~25 ft / 78 m suction lift) and deliver higher flow and pressure than smaller models, making it ideal for larger homes, multi-bathroom usage, garden irrigation, and light agricultural applications. Powered by a 1.5 horsepower motor (single-phase for domestic use or three-phase in some variants), it provides strong, consistent water supply for demanding applications.

Using a jet (venturi) mechanism, the pump creates suction to lift water from the shallow well into the pump body. The motor-driven impeller then pressurizes the water and sends it to a pressure tank or distribution network, ensuring steady pressure across taps, showers, and sprinklers. Most units are self-priming after initial setup.

Key features

• 1.5 HP motor for higher demand and longer runs

• Designed for shallow wells, sumps, tanks, and surface water sources

• Above-ground installation for easy access and maintenance

• Works with pressure tanks, pressure switches, and automation

• Rugged, corrosion-resistant build (model-dependent)

Typical applications

• Large homes / multi-bathroom households

• Garden irrigation, sprinklers, drip systems

• Small commercial setups (guest houses, workshops)

• Light agricultural & livestock watering

Advantages

• Higher flow rate and pressure than 1.0 HP models

• Handles multiple outlets running at once

• Easy installation and service

• Compatible with standard household power (single-phase variants)

Limitations

• Not suitable for deep wells (limited to ~25 ft suction lift)

• Requires proper priming and airtight suction piping

• Louder than submersible pumps (above-ground motor)

Typical specs (vary by model/brand)

• Power: 1.5 HP

• Max suction lift: ~25 ft (78 m)

• Flow rate: ~60100 LPM (1526 GPM)

• Max head: ~4055 m

• Power supply: Single-phase 220240 V (or three-phase options)
