Jet Pumps from Goulds & Pedrollo

Jet Pumps specifically designed for Homes, Cottages, and Irrigation systems.  Jet pumps are mounted above the well, either in the home or in a well house, and draw the water up from the well through suction.  Jet pumps create suction by spinning an impeller.  The impeller moves the water from the well through a narrow jet mounted in the pump.  This constriction at the jet cause the speed of the wate to increase much like a garden hose nozzle.  As the water leaves the jet, a partial vacuum is created that sucks the water from the well.  Behind the jet is a venturi that slows the water down and increases pressure.  Jet pumps generally require that they are primed since the pump uses water to draw water.  A check valve should be installed in the feed line to the pump to keep the water from draining back to the well.
