How does a jet pump work?
Jet pumps operate in a self-priming manner thanks to the ejector (venturi) assembly inside the casing. A portion of the water delivered by the pump is recirculated back to the ejector; this flow creates a vacuum in the suction line, drawing in water and air. This design allows jet pumps to purge air from the suction pipe and draw water even when the water source is below the pump. They are widely used in domestic and garden booster pump systems, for drawing water from shallow wells, and for pumping water from tanks.
Types of jet pumps
- Standard jet pumps: The ejector is inside the pump casing; used for suction from shallow wells and tanks.
- Deep-suction (ejector-type) jet pumps: The ejector is lowered into the well and connected to the pump via two pipes, allowing suction from much greater depths.
- Stainless steel body models: Corrosion-resistant; suitable for clean water and hygiene-sensitive applications.
- Cast iron body models: A durable and economical option.
The suction depth of deep-suction models is stated in the product descriptions; compare this value with the water level in your well.
Advantages and limitations
Jet pumps are easy to install, tolerant of air, and versatile. However, due to the ejector, their efficiency is lower than that of centrifugal pumps of the same power, and they can operate somewhat more noisily. For applications requiring continuous high flow, centrifugal pumps offer a more efficient solution, and for deep wells, submersible pumps are the better choice.
Frequently asked questions
How deep can a jet pump draw water from?
Standard models can typically draw water from up to 8–9 meters. For deeper sources, ejector-type deep-suction models are used.
Why does a jet pump need to be primed with water?
Even though it is self-priming, the pump casing must be filled with water at first start-up for the ejector to function.
Can a jet pump be used as a booster pump?
Yes; combined with a tank and pressure switch or with a pressure controller, it is one of the most common domestic booster pump solutions.
Can it be used in sandy water?
Sand wears the ejector and impeller. Fit a strainer on the suction line for sandy sources, or consider a suitable alternative such as a submersible pump.
How much electricity does a jet pump consume?
Consumption depends on motor power and operating time. Due to the ejector, it uses somewhat more energy than a centrifugal pump doing the same job; this difference becomes more pronounced over longer operating periods.
