Jet Pumps
A Goulds Water Technology jet pump is a centrifugal pump paired with a jet (ejector) assembly that lets a surface-mounted pump draw water up from a well, cistern, lake, or river. The line comes in three forms, split by how far the water sits below the pump: shallow-well pumps with a built-in jet, deep-well pumps that put the jet down in the well, and convertible pumps that do either. Watermain Supply supplies all three — sized, with the correct jet assembly and control valve, to your well. This page covers each type and how to choose.

The Line
One Question Decides It: How Deep Is The Water?
Every jet pump on this page supplies fresh water to a home, cabin, farm, or light-commercial system. Which of the three you need comes down to a single measurement — the depth from the pump to the water — and, for a convertible, whether you want one pump that can do both.
Within about 25 ft of the pump → shallow well. A shallow-well jet pump keeps the jet assembly built into the pump and runs a single pipe to the source. That 25 ft covers vertical lift plus friction loss in the suction pipe, and the same pump makes an excellent city-water booster or cistern/tank pump.
Deeper than 25 ft → deep well. A deep-well jet pump places the jet assembly down in the well on a two-pipe setup, letting a surface pump reach water far below suction range. Deep-well systems come as twin-pipe (for wells 4 in and larger) or packer (for 2 in and 3 in casings), in vertical and horizontal, single- and multi-stage builds.
Not sure, or want flexibility → convertible. A convertible pump ships ready to run shallow with a bolt-on shallow-well adapter, or deep with a jet assembly placed in the well — one pump that converts between the two.

Jet Pump Basics
How a Jet Pump Reaches Water It Isn’t Sitting In
A jet pump recirculates part of its own output through a nozzle and venturi — the “jet” — to boost the vacuum at the intake. Where that jet sits, and how many pipes run to the well, is the whole difference between shallow and deep.
Shallow vs Deep vs Convertible
Shallow — jet built into the pump
One pipe to the source. Practical suction lift of 25 ft at sea level (vertical lift + friction). Ideal for cisterns, tanks, lakes, rivers, and city-water boosting.
Deep — jet lowered into the well
Two pipes to the well; the jet assembly develops the lift down-hole. Twin-pipe for 4 in+ wells, packer for 2 in / 3 in casings. Requires a matched jet assembly and control valve.
Convertible — does both
Runs shallow with a bolt-on shallow-well adapter, or deep with the jet assembly in the well. One pump for uncertain or changing depth.
Deep-well systems need back pressure to work. The jet assembly relies on drive-water pressure, so a deep-well jet pump uses a pressure control valve in the discharge line, set to the depth. The valve, the jet assembly, and the well casing size all have to be matched to the job — which is where sizing matters.
Measure Depth To Water, Not Well Depth
The number that picks the pump is how far the water level sits below the pump. A deep well with water standing 15 ft down is a shallow-well job; the same well drawn down to 70 ft is a deep-well, two-pipe job. Send us the depth to water and the casing size and we size it.
Selection Note
Nominal HP, lift, and depth figures below are approximate and vary by model, jet assembly, and control-valve setting. Watermain Supply provides engineering-led sizing and selection; the jet assembly, control valve, and duty point are confirmed against Goulds published data before you order.
The Three Goulds Jet Pumps
Shallow Well, Deep Well & Convertible
Each type below links to its product page. All run a standard 30–50 psi pressure switch and handle liquid temperatures up to 140 °F.
Shallow Well Jet Pump
Built-in jet · one-pipe · to 25 ft lift
▸
Jet assembly built into the pump, single pipe to the source — the simplest install
▸
Practical suction lift to 25 ft (vertical lift plus suction friction)
▸
Excellent as a city-water booster and for cisterns, tanks, lakes, and rivers
▸
Best for: water within 25 ft, or pressure boosting
Deep Well Jet Pump
Jet in the well · two-pipe · beyond 25 ft
▸
Jet assembly sits down in the well on a two-pipe setup for lifts greater than 25 ft
▸
Twin-pipe (wells 4 in and larger) or packer (2 in / 3 in casings), vertical or horizontal
▸
Reaches deep-set water in the 100–200 ft class with a matched jet assembly and control valve
▸
Best for: wells beyond suction reach
Convertible Jet Pump
Shallow or deep · one flexible pump
▸
Runs shallow with a bolt-on shallow-well adapter, or deep with a jet assembly in the well
▸
Shallow to 25 ft; deep beyond 25 ft with the appropriate jet assembly
▸
One pump that converts between the two setups
▸
Best for: uncertain depth, or wanting flexibility to change later
Shallow or Deep?
If the water sits within about 25 ft of the pump, a shallow-well pump handles it on one pipe. Past 25 ft you need a deep-well pump with the jet placed in the well on two pipes. If you want a single pump that can do either now or later, the convertible is the answer — give us the depth to water and casing size and we’ll spec it.
The Three Types, One Table
Goulds Jet Pump Comparison
| Type | System | HP | Reach | Reach For It When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shallow Well | 1-pipe, built-in jet | 1/2–1-1/2 | to ~25 ft | Water within 25 ft; cistern, tank, or booster |
| Deep Well | 2-pipe, jet in well (twin-pipe / packer) | 1/2–3 | >25 ft, to ~200 ft* | Wells beyond suction reach |
| Convertible | Shallow (adapter) or deep (jet in well) | 1/2–1-1/2 | to 25 ft, or >25 ft* | Uncertain depth, or wanting flexibility |
*Deep-well reach depends on a jet assembly and pressure control valve matched to the total lift and well casing size. HP, lift, and depth figures are nominal and vary by model — see each product page and confirm with us. Specifications are drawn from Goulds Water Technology published data.
Get It Right The First Time
How to Size a Goulds Jet Pump
A jet pump is more than the pump — on a deep well, the jet assembly and control valve do the real work, and both are sized to your well. Send us these and we return an engineering-led selection.
1. Depth to water. The distance from the pump down to the static water level. Under ~25 ft points to a shallow-well pump; deeper points to a deep-well or convertible with a jet assembly in the well.
2. Well casing size. This decides the deep-well system type — twin-pipe for wells 4 in and larger, packer for 2 in and 3 in casings.
3. Flow you need (GPM) and pressure (PSI). How much water at what pressure, which drives HP and the jet-assembly / control-valve selection.
4. The setup. New well, cistern or tank, city-water booster, or replacing an existing jet pump — tell us which and any model you’re matching.
What You Get Back
A pump recommendation with the nominal duty point — and, for a deep well, the correct jet assembly and pressure control valve for your depth and casing — all confirmed against Goulds published data. We don’t commit a final model or duty point until it’s verified for your numbers.
Where These Pumps Go To Work
Goulds Jet Pump Applications
Fresh-water supply and pressure boosting across homes, cabins, farms, and light-commercial systems.
Goulds jet pumps supply homes, cabins, and farms from a private well — shallow or deep — and pressurize water from cisterns and storage tanks, lakes and rivers, and city-water booster systems where incoming pressure is low. Convertible models cover the same work when the water sits deeper, and every setup pairs with a pressure tank and a 30–50 psi switch to deliver steady household pressure.

Straight Answers
Goulds Jet Pump Questions
Shallow, deep, or convertible — which do I need?
It comes down to how far the water sits below the pump. Within about 25 ft, a shallow-well pump handles it on one pipe. Deeper than 25 ft, you need a deep-well pump with the jet in the well on two pipes. Want one pump for either now or later? The convertible does both.
How deep can a Goulds jet pump reach?
A shallow-well jet pump has a practical suction lift of about 25 ft at sea level (vertical lift plus friction). A deep-well jet pump reaches much deeper — toward the 100–200 ft class — because the jet assembly sits down in the well and develops the lift there. The jet assembly and control-valve setting, matched to the depth, determine the reach.
What is a convertible jet pump?
A convertible pump can run as a shallow-well pump — with a bolt-on shallow-well adapter — or as a deep-well pump, with a jet assembly placed down in the well. It’s the flexible choice when the depth to water is uncertain, or when you may need to reconfigure the system later.
Twin-pipe or packer deep-well system?
Both are two-pipe deep-well setups. A twin-pipe jet assembly is used in wells 4 in and larger, running separate suction and drive-water pipes. A packer system uses the well casing itself as the drive-water pipe and is used in 2 in and 3 in casings. The casing size decides which you use — tell us the diameter.
Does a deep-well jet pump need a separate jet assembly and control valve?
Yes. A deep-well jet pump develops its lift from a jet assembly placed in the well, and it needs a pressure control valve in the discharge to hold the back pressure the jet requires. Both are matched to the depth to water and the well casing — give us those and we spec the assembly and valve with the pump.
Do I need a pressure tank?
Yes — a jet pump runs on a 30–50 psi pressure switch and a pressure tank that stores pressure between cycles. Keep the pump within a few feet of the tank and avoid restrictive valves or filters between them to prevent rapid on-off “switch chatter.” We can spec the tank alongside the pump.
What liquid temperature can these pumps handle?
Goulds jet pumps are rated for liquid temperatures up to 140 °F (60 °C), and the pump should be protected from freezing. For seasonal properties, the system is drained down before freezing weather.
Do you sell Goulds Water Technology jet pumps, and can you help me size one?
Yes.
