Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Jet Pump With a Pressure Tank?
The water in a shallow well is pumped by a jet pump that has a pressure tank with an impeller and a suction and lift venturi system. The water is then stored in a pressurized tank that has an internal air bladder. Such an arrangement allows a continuous flow and prevents the pumping for every use of water.
What are the average flow rates of a residential jet pump system?
The residential jet pumps generate between six and twelve gallons per minute, depending on horsepower, suction depth and plumbing. In larger homes that have more water demands during peak usage among various fixtures, higher capacity systems can be greater than twelve gallons per minute.
What are the sizes of the motors?
Jet pumps usually come with
- ½ HP
- ¾ HP
- 1 HP motors
Simple flow is supported by one-half horsepower and is used in smaller homes. One horsepower provides greater suction and higher flow.
What is the purpose of the pressure tank in the system?
The pressure tank is filled with water at a fixed range of pressure such as 30 to 40 PSI or 40 to 60 PSI depending on your system settings.
When the tank is filled with water, the internal air bladder is compressed. When you turn on a tap, the water is pushed through your plumbing by the bladder, and the pump is not turned on instantly.
Why is it advantageous to install a jet pump with a pressure tank of the correct size?
The appropriate size of a pressure tank minimizes short cycling of pumps, as well as increases the life of the motor and overall system performance when required.
What do I do to select the appropriate tank size to use in my system?
The size of the tank must be equal to the output of the pump with a drawdown volume that is equivalent to one minute of pump flow rate.
As an example, a 10 GPM pump requires a pressure tank that has a minimum drawdown capacity of ten gallons.
