Performance Overview

The VersaJet shallow well jet pump line is capable of a wide range of pressures and flows. Performance can be tailored by replacing the standard factory-installed jet nozzle with one of the other included nozzles to achieve higher flow or higher pressure, depending on your needs. This makes the VersaJet pump highly adaptable for various applications, from small cabins to larger homes or light irrigation. The pump is an excellent choice for systems requiring consistent pressure and reliable flow from a shallow water source.

Common Applications

• Supplying fresh water to rural homes
• Water systems for farms and livestock
• Cabin and remote home water supply
• Boosting pressure from shallow wells
• Light agricultural irrigation systems
• Private well water systems

Critical Installation and Usage Guidelines

• Total suction lift should not exceed 25 feet of head.
• The dual-voltage motor is factory-wired for 230V but can be rewired for 115V.
• Pressure switches are preset at the factory and do not typically require adjustment.
• For outdoor installations, the pump must be shielded from direct weather exposure.
