jet pump

Hi, I have a Mastercraft 3/4hp Cast Iron Convertible Jet Pump - it pumps water from our lake. I set everything up as I normally do 2 days ago and everything worked fine. The unit itself is 9 years old. Tonight, I noticed water pressure dropping and when I went to check on the pump, the PSI...

Hi everyone I have a 1hp convertible jet pump 26 gallons per min brand new I put on there and a new 20 gallon pressure tank with the air. Then I installed both now the system won’t build up pressure over 35 psi. And I made sure to set the pressure in the tank to 28 because the on and off...

Hello, I'm 23 and I'm a very new homeowner and honestly don't know very much on that regard, especially with plumbing, I recently moved into a trailer home with a shallow well, in which a Burcam jet pump is being used as the actual well pump for our well, so there's no pressure tank or pressure...

I bought a house this year that has a 30ft well and 1hp Gould J10s pump with a 20ga pressure tank for the house. I need to add an irrigation system, and wanted to use the same well. I got a quote from a local company who said my well tested at 100 gpm, and recommended that I replace the pump...

we’re new to the well water life so this is completely new to us. we have a jet pump that will not turn on at all even though pressure has dropped and should turn on. Was advised the pump was relatively new. Checked pressure, to make sure it matches. Also, confirmed no issues with breaker/fuses...

Please see pics. The pump worked a lot longer that I expected. When we moved here last July the bottom was already largely destroyed by the rust. It finally stopped working. You hear the electricity engaging but the rotor does not move at all. It is 3/4 HP Sta Rite SND-L Projet. I thought I...

Renovating an old home with a jet pump well. The well has no seal on it. I have called two different well companies, sent them this picture and they say no problem we can take care of that and they give me a price. Then before they come and do the service they call back and say they don't...

I have a 3/4 hp jet pump about 100 ft from a well point with 1 1/4" well pipe and a 1" polyethylene supple line to the pump. The supply line has a hole in it somewhere. I have been told I could run a 3/4" PEX line through the 1" polyethylene and it should work fine. I am concerned about over...

All, We had a new well pump and tank installed (1/2hp and 14gal horizontal tank) last year. At the time, the plumber was unable to source a 20gal tank in a reasonable amount of time. Plumber has since retired. (no longer likes to take calls regarding his work). The check valve he installed...

Can I pour the chloride solution directly down though the casing adapter into the suction pipe ? My casing adapter is pretty rusty, really do not want to take it off. Just wondering if maybe I can add a "T" fitting to the return line as the jet pump is offset from the casing adapter - so that...

We live off grid in the desert and have water brought in in trucks. We usually get about 600gallons per trip. We have 2 300gallon totes and they sit level with the house floor outside. We have freezing temps and snow and plan on building an enclosure for tanks and pump to avoid exploding the...

Qty 2 300 gallon water storage tanks serving the suction side of an above ground Jet pump. There is a check valve between the suction side of the pump and the storage tanks. I don't think the check valve should be there. The stored water is above the suction inlet side of the pump. Do you think...

Over night or after sitting awhile air gets in the lines and sometimes clears up after running awhile or sometimes loses prime. Pump struggles to reach shut off much of the time. When taking a shower the water after a few minutes the pressure drops off to nothing then after a short time comes...

I just replaced a 15-year-old jet pump a couple weeks ago, then found out the old pressure tank is on its last leg. So I'm upgrading from a single 86 gallon tank to two 86 gallon tanks. Oddly enough, this was cheaper than a single 119-gallon tank that is not available anywhere locally. The pump...

Hey there, TL;DR: my brand new jet pump has yet to build up to shut off pressure, we've changed the pump (including the injector) also changed the foot valve and some of the piping that goes to the well. There's lots of water in the well. Also checked the pipes that go down the well for...

Hello all, I have an odd problem, I think. I live on a farm with two houses side-by-side (about 100 foot apart) that are supplied with water from a single Jet Pump located at House #1. This system has worked for 40+ years. The pump was replaced once during that time with other minor repairs over...

Our old pump is wearing out and won't build enough pressure to shut off, so it needs to be replaced. I would like to get more pressure than we have currently. My husband is deployed, his brother is willing to change the pump but doesn't know enough about them to recommend which one to get...

I’m having a strange problem with a shallow well pump I recently installed. I also pulled and replaced the driven pipe and point. The pump primes right up to 50 PSI and will hold indefinitely. On the discharge side I have a 1” tee which transitions to a 3/4” PVC line which then is reduced down...

I live in an old house with an old dug, stone-lined well that looks to be maybe 15' deep. This well was setup with a FloTec 4322 when we bought the place. I'm having trouble with the pump slowly losing pressure - the pump kicks on every ~30 minutes, and I've ruled out a house leak. The pump...

I have a jet pump in a well house located directly above where my well is dug (65' deep well) about 200' from my house. In an emergency, is there a way to retrofit/install some sort of manual hand pump in line with my current setup so that I could get water from my well if the power went out...
