Why it matters
The J10S is the 1 HP version of Goulds's shallow well jet pump, for homes, cottages and booster service. It shares the J5S's capacitor-start dual-voltage motor, automatic-reset overload, stainless shaft and pressure regulator.
It has 1-1/4 in suction and 1 in discharge connections and a preset 30-50 psi switch.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Larger homes
- Booster service

Look elsewhere if

- Homes without a pressure tank
- Owners who won't prime the pump
- Tight budgets
Pros and cons
Pros
- Goulds brand
- 1 HP
- Booster capable
Cons
- Expensive
- Shallow wells only
- Few flow specs on the listing
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.
