Is there any reason I can't install a bladder tank horizontally on a shallow well jet pump system? The reason I ask is that I want to put the pump inside a plastic storage bin that is only two feet high.

I'm in the same boat as Khalil, I need a new pump and don't know what brand to get. My current one is a Sta-Rite but I don't know if I should get that or something different. I have seen Flotec (I think now owned by Sta-Rite) and WaterAce at places like Lowes and Ace. Any recommendations for...

Thanks for your help... From the posts on this forum I gather that my pump is doing what it is designed to do but there is a problem with the pump motor overheating. Since it is an old pump I will probably just replace it. I want to thank you all for your help. Henry
