About

A single-phase shallow well jet pump is an electric water pump designed to pull water from shallow wells (typically up to ~25 feet / 78 meters) and deliver it to homes, farms, gardens, or small commercial setups.
Single-phase means it runs on standard household power (usually 110120V or 220240V, depending on country).

• Uses a jet/venturi system to create suction

• Pulls water up from the well into the pump

• Pushes water into a pressure tank and your plumbing system

• Usually self-priming, meaning it can remove air from the suction line after initial setup

Main components

• Electric motor (single-phase AC)

• Pump housing & impeller

• Jet assembly (nozzle + venturi)

• Pressure switch (turns pump on/off automatically)

• Check valve / foot valve (keeps water from draining back into the well)

• Pressure tank (stores water and stabilizes pressure)

Typical applications

• Residential water supply

• Garden irrigation & sprinklers

• Small cottages or cabins

• Light agricultural use

Key features

• Designed for shallow water sources only

• Easy installation (mounted above ground)

• Runs on common household electricity

• Compact, relatively low cost

• Good for moderate flow and pressure needs.

• Voltage: 120V / 220V single-phase

• Max suction depth: ~25 ft
