HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED A SHALLOW WELL PUMP OR A DEEP WELL PUMP?
Determining whether you need a shallow well pump or a deep well pump depends on the depth of your water source. Here's how you can differentiate between the two: Shallow Well Pump: Designed for wells with depths of 25 feet or less.
Shallow well pumps are installed above ground.
Draws water up from near the surface using suction.
Deep Well Pump: Designed for wells with depths greater than 25 feet, sometimes reaching hundreds of feet.
Uses mechanisms such as jet systems or submersible designs to draw water from deep underground.
To determine which type of pump you need: Measure the depth of your well: This is the crucial factor. If your well is deeper than 25 feet, you'll likely need a deep well pump. Otherwise, a shallow well pump should suffice.
Consult a professional: If you're unsure about the depth of your well or which pump to choose, it's best to consult a well drilling professional or a plumber. They can assess your situation and recommend the appropriate pump for your needs.
