Need to replace my jet pump, 1/2 hp. I'm just looking for the pump right now...Not looking to debate or other stuff.

Does anyone know of a pump that comes with or you can get a stand for it. I have the the 1950's jet pump on a stand. It is in the basement of my house and needs to be elevated about 3 ft. Or if someone has another solution, thanks.

There are brackets sold to put the pump atop a pressure tank.

A stack of concrete blocks could give you your desired elevation, tho each foot you raise the pump, that's a foot less that the pump can suck from. Concrete blocks would be cheaper than a strong table.

Yeah the lower the pump the better. You can put the pump on the floor them mount all the controls up higher.

Maybe the water rises there on occasion.

Paving blocks could give the desired elevation and look better. They would still give that mass which will inhibit noise radiating.

This is awkward, but...
