Depending on where you live, the type of water well you install in your yard will be based off your access to water beneath the ground. If the area you are located in does not have a steady supply of water close to the surface, you will need a deep well. For over 60 years, the water irrigation professionals at John D. Hughes Wells & Pumps in Enterprise, AL, have offered high-quality and affordable residential and commercial water well installation services, along with water pump inspections, repairs, and maintenance. Here, the water well experts share everything you need to know about how a water pump works.

Shallow Well Jet Pump System 

Jet pumps are commonly mounted above the well to draw the water up through the well using suction. The weight of the air is what helps push the water up. As air pressure is dependent upon elevation, a shallow well is normally able to pump water through a well that is up to 25 feet deep. Shallow well jet pump systems also use water to pump, which is why the well must already be filled with water for it to function properly. 

Deep Well Jet Pump System

If you are located on a piece of property that requires you to dig a deeper well to reach water, you will need a deep well jet pump system. This employs the use of a tailpipe so the jet pump can be placed further down in the water.
