Shallow Well Jet Pump 1/3 hp
This Dayton shallow well jet pump delivers 1/3 horsepower for residential water supply from depths up to 25 feet. It operates on dual voltage 115/230V AC and includes the ejector for straightforward setup. The unit suits homeowners needing reliable shallow well water extraction.
Sustained flow at varying pressures
At 30 PSI the pump provides 7.5 gpm, dropping to 4.5 gpm at 40 PSI and 2.8 gpm at 50 PSI with a 10 foot lift. Maximum case and inlet pressure is rated at 123 psi, while shut-off pressure reaches 66 psi. Continuous operation stays within a maximum temperature of 90 degrees.
Installation notes and common issues
