The depth of a well pump varies significantly depending on the type of pump and the depth of the well itself. Different pump types are designed for different depth ranges.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Convertible Well Jet Pumps: These pumps can operate in wells from 0 to 90 feet deep.
- For depths of 0 to 25 feet, they use a shallow well jet nozzle.
- For depths of 25 to 90 feet, they utilize an ejector assembly.
-
Deep Well Submersible Pumps: These pumps are submerged in the well and are suitable for deeper wells, typically operating from 20 to 300 feet deep.
Therefore, to accurately answer "How deep is a well pump?", it's crucial to know:
- What type of well pump are you referring to? (e.g., jet pump, submersible pump).
- What is the static water level in the well? (This is the depth of the water when the pump is not running.)
Without this information, a precise depth cannot be given. However, the ranges above provide a good general idea.
