Title: Flooded Suction Jet Pump Setup
Post by: stvnwhite on March 30, 2023, 11:53:38 AM

Cary -

Planning a setup with jet pump fed by a cistern approximately 5 feet above the pump level.    Will be using a CSV and an existing Amtrol tank with about 12ish gallons of draw down volume at 40/60.    Two story residence with all other water spigots downhill.   Looking at the Goulds J5S pump or would the J5SH (or higher HP pump) be more appropriate?  I am presuming that these types of pumps would be fine with flooded suction with appropriate check valve in place.     Any other pump brands or types for this kind of application?

Thanks

I use the J5SH and the J15S when I want high pressure like 50/70.  Most jet pumps will work at 30/50 like the J5S and many will work with a 40/60 switch.  Not much difference in brands of jet pumps these days.  The 1HP at TC seems to be a good pump and there are others like it.
