Industry Information
Jet Pump
Jet pumps consist of an impeller, a volute and a motor and are made of aluminum, cast iron or stainless steel. Jet pumps are used exclusively for lifting and transporting water from its underground source to buildings for human use, a valuable application that finds use in commercial, industrial, general purpose and residential environments. While other centrifugal pumps are used in wastewater and sewage treatment plants to handle trash and refuse, jet pumps are meant to increase the pressure of a liquid free from solids. Hardly any other liquids require high pressure pumping to be removed from deep underground and those that do use, such as oil, employ different techniques with more powerful machinery.
Jet pumps are generally electric pumps. The motor turns the impeller which drives the water through a narrow opening called a jet that is mounted in the housing in front of the rotating vanes. Because of the constriction, the speed of the water increases and as it is pumped through the opening, a partial vacuum is created which lifts additional water from the well. A Venturi tube (also called an ejector) behind the jet acts like the volute found in other centrifugal pumps. The tube's diameter increases, slowing the water while increasing its pressure. The water passing through the Venturi tube is joined by the water that was drawn up by the partial vacuum and the stream is discharged at high pressure. The water is then pumped directly into a plumbing system or into a storage tank with a bladder to maintain the necessary pressure. For deep wells, the jet is separated from the motor and impeller and placed down the well in the water. A piping system drives water down into the jet so that the pump is pushing it up instead of lifting. Like most shallow well pumps, jet pumps need to be primed to work. A tailpipe can prevent overpumping by detecting when the flow rate drops and switching between deep and shallow well pumping. Jet pumps that have more than one impeller are called multistage pumps and are used for wells hundreds of feet deep.
