Before scheduling a pump installation for your well, you should consider different system options to ensure you’re selecting the right device for your home. Between submersible and jet pumps, many people decide on submersible devices due to their speed and low maintenance. Below are four benefits of choosing submersible pumps for your house.

4 Benefits of Submersible Pumps 

1. Lowered Maintenance

Water wells require priming to create pressure to move water into the home. Submersible pumps do not require priming because they are continually wet. All jet systems require priming at the time of the pump installation. However, units that are not self-priming will require homeowners to pour water into the pump casing until it is full. This task will remove air bubbles that can limit the water pressure and restore the plumbing to its normal condition. 

2. Increased Space

Homes that feature jet pumps often need a pumphouse or utility room to cover the system and keep resident pets and family members safe. Submersible pumps do not take up room like jet pumps do, because they live directly inside the well. This will create more space in your home for other necessary appliances.  

3. Improved Efficiency 

Jet pumps are situated outside of the well and use suction to create pressure that moves water through pipes. These systems use more electricity than submersible options because they indirectly transport water.

During a submersible pump installation, a professional will install the device inside the well, limiting the amount of pipe that the water must travel through. Plus, the unit uses direct pressure instead of suction, which lowers the amount of horsepower they require to operate.

4. Decreased Noise Levels

Due to the difference in transport techniques, jet pumps are louder than submersible versions. Many homeowners prefer systems that operate quietly to avoid disrupting their children’s sleep, alerting pets, and creating too much overall noise. Since the pumphouse that the jet pump requires has to live in the home, residents will be able to hear the water running through. A submersible pump will be installed underneath the ground outside, preventing any noise from penetrating the home.
