Why it matters
The CCJC is a 1 HP cast iron jet pump for wells up to 25 ft deep. It runs on 115 or 230 V, comes set to 230 V, and shuts itself off if the water runs out.
A pressure switch starts it at 20 psi and stops it at 40 psi, with a gauge on the casing, so it can also work as a pressure booster.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Wells to 25 ft
- Cabins and homes
- Pressure boosting
Look elsewhere if
- Wells deeper than about 25 ft
- Homes without a pressure tank
- Owners who won't prime the pump
Pros and cons
Pros
- 1 HP
- Dry-run shutoff
- Gauge included
Cons
- 20/40 psi switch
- Factory set to 230 V
- Priming needed
Limitations to weigh
- Check whether your circuit is 115 V or 230 V before ordering; many well pumps are wired for 230 V.
- Prime the pump casing with water before the first start; jet pumps can't lift water until they're primed.
