Whether you're a full-time homesteader or a weekend vacationer, if you spend time in rural areas, you'll quickly learn the value of gathering essential resources. One of the most important steps to take is to guarantee your own water supply, whether it's your only source or a backup to the public supply. Using a well is the traditional choice, but for convenience and reliability, fitting a high-quality pump is important.

Although a general-purpose model or sump pump has its place, some jobs require you to choose a specially designed well pump as you'll need to secure your water supply under all conditions. There are two main types of well pumps to consider, as well as the depth of your well. Learn what you need to know when making your choice here.

Jet Well Pump vs Submersible Well Pump

The key difference between a jet pump and a submersible pump lies in how they clear water. A jet pump is installed above ground, can’t be submersed and pulls water from the well. A submersible well pump is installed underneath the water line, and works by pushing water up into a storage basin at the surface. Jet pumps operate by pulling water up from the well, while a submersible jet pump pushes water up.

Sprinkler Pump Models for Irrigation/h3>

A sprinkler pump can draw water from a well to help you irrigate your yard or garden. Most sprinkler pumps operate by pushing water, but some models are designed to pull. Additionally, sprinkler pumps can double to help you remove standing water from flooded areas if need be.

Jet Pumps for Deep and Shallow Wells

A jet pump can operate as both a deep or shallow well pump. A shallow well pump is suitable for well where the water surface is up to 25 feet below ground. It offers a cost-effective and reliable pumping solution in areas where the water table is dependably high.

For deeper or varying water table depths, convertible jet pumps are highly effective. You can change the settings of the ejector assembly so that the same pump can adapt to work at increasingly lower depths to suit your needs. With these convertible pumps, you can use an energy-efficient low-power setting when the water table is high before switching to stronger pumping when you need to pull from greater depths.

Submersible Well Pumps for Deeper Wells 

Although submersible pumps can be used for shallow wells, they really excel as deep well pumps. A submersible well pump is a more efficient and practical type of device for deeper wells than even convertible jet pumps. Submersible models make an effective deep well pump when the water surface is up to 300 feet below ground. They can also produce a stronger and more consistent flow than jet pumps, making them ideal if your well is the only water source available.

Extra Well Pump Features 

As well as choosing between a jet or submersible model, there are several other features to look out for when deciding on a pump:

  • Outlet connections:For basic pumping situations, a single outlet connection may be enough, however, multiple outlets will make it easier to combine a full indoor supply with outdoor irrigation.
  • Power source:A battery backup feature is useful in areas where power outages may be likely.
  • Maximum flow:The amount of water a pump can supply is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). A higher GPM figure means you'll have quicker access to water but it'll take more energy to pump.
  • Storage tank: For less powerful pumps, a storage tank can help to even out the supply.
