Acquaer CJE100: 1 HP Convertible Jet Pump, Wells to 25 or 90 ft

Why it matters

A convertible jet pump works on shallow wells as a standard jet pump and on deeper wells with an ejector (jet) down the well on two pipes. Acquaer rates the CJE100 for single-pipe wells to 25 ft and two-pipe wells from 26 to 90 ft, with venturis and the ejector kit included.

The 1 HP motor runs on 115 or 230 V (factory set to 230 V), with thermal overload protection and a pressure switch that starts at 20 psi and stops at 40 psi.

Who it's for, and who should skip it

Good fit if

Wells 25-90 ft deep
Converting from shallow to deep
Dual-voltage homes

Look elsewhere if

Wells over 90 ft
Owners who want 40/60 psi

Pros and cons

Pros

Ejector kit included
Dual voltage
Cast iron

Cons

20/40 psi switch (lower than usual)
Factory set to 230 V
Priming needed

Limitations to weigh

Well pumps usually need a licensed installer, the right wire size and a pressure tank sized to the pump.
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.
