DESCRIPTION
Corrosion resistant convertible jet pumps (Models 3PL, 5PL,

tor (purchase separately) is used for suction lifts of 25 feet
or less and can be used with drilled (cased) wells, driven
well points, and cisterns or lakes. With a deep well ejector
installed, the convertible jet pump can be used on wells up
to 110' deep (depending on ejector package used). Pump is
equipped with a capacitor start motor and a 30-50 psi preset
pressure switch.
