Questions and Answers for Everbilt 1/2 HP Shallow Well Jet Pump with 6 gal. Tank

A:  Frank - Thank you for reaching out to our Technical Support Team. We would need more information to answer your question. This pump is rated by how many gallons of water it can produce at varying heights of the well. We would need to know how many gallons of water each garden hose required as well. This pump is great but if it's going to be used for irrigation, you may need a bigger Pressure tank as this one is only 6 gallons. Please give us a call at 844 242-2475 and we can go over those things with you. -GP Support

A:  Tyler - Thank you for Reaching out to our Technical Support Team. We do carry parts for this pump, but at this time, we do not carry the motor. Give us a call at 844 242-2475 if you need any other parts. -GP Support

A:  DarC - Yes, it should. Some people do use this to increase pressure. I do want to warn though, that a 6 gallon pressure tank is not big enough to run a house on. You're better off buying the pump by itself and trying to get a 20 or 50 gallon pressure tank if you're going to be using this for a home. -GP Support

A:  Bruce - The pump only has a max of 67PSI. So, if you set it that high, the pressure tank would push back on the 67PSI coming out of the pump and the pump would never shut off. 67PSI is the max but even then, we recommend that the pressure switch not be set above 60 PSI.

A:  Russell - The pump will pull water from a spring, however, remember you still need a check valve and foot valve. However, the 6-gallon pressure tank is not ideal for an entire house. Most houses need a 20-gallon pressure tank and experts even suggest getting a larger one. You should contact a plumber to find out what size pressure tank would be needed for a house your size.-GP Support

A:  Dave- 1'' suction and discharge - GP Support

A:  Grinch0 - Yes, there is a way to add air. The air should be about 2 PSI below the starting pressure. The pressure switch comes preset to 30PSI so it should be about 28PSI of air. -GP Support

A:  That would vary based on the depth of the well. There is a manual on the website for this item. Or you can give us a call at 844 242-2475 if you need specific info. -GP Support
