Shallow Well Jet Pumps
Reliable Water Solutions For Shallow Well Systems
For homes with water sources close to the surface, shallow well jet pumps offer a practical and efficient solution.
Tri-County Pumps delivers reliable systems backed by decades of local experience and a commitment to helping customers understand how their water systems work and how to keep them running strong.



Deep Well vs. Shallow Well Jet Pumps
Deep well jet pumps use a two-pipe system and reach depths up to 110 feet, making them ideal for areas with lower water tables.
Shallow well jet pumps are built for wells no deeper than 25 feet and rely on a single suction pipe, making installation simpler and more affordable.

Benefits Of Installing A Shallow Well Jet Pump
Ideal for properties where the water table sits near the surface and water needs are steady.
Cost-Effective Solution
Shallow well jet pumps have fewer components and lower installation costs than deeper systems. Their straightforward design makes them a budget-friendly choice for homeowners who need dependable water access without the added expense of more complex equipment or extended piping.
Quiet Operation
Because they operate above ground and under lower pressure, shallow well jet pumps tend to produce less noise than high-powered alternatives. Many modern models are built with sound-dampening components to cut down on operational noise, making them ideal for homes where peace and quiet are a priority.
Consistent Water Pressure
For households drawing water from shallow sources, these pumps deliver steady pressure that meets daily needs with ease. Whether filling a washing machine, watering the lawn, or running the shower, shallow well pumps provide reliable flow with minimal pressure fluctuations or interruptions during regular use.
Efficient Water Supply
Shallow well jet pumps are designed for fast water delivery in low-lift environments. Their efficient design allows for quick start-up and strong flow, making them suitable for light- to medium-demand homes located on properties with water sources near the surface.
Low Maintenance
With fewer parts and easy access, shallow well jet pumps require minimal upkeep. Regular checks and simple cleanings are usually enough to keep them running smoothly, and when repairs are needed, the parts are often readily available and quick to replace.
