Questions & Answers for Wayne Shallow Well Jet Pump with 8.5-Gallon Pressure Tank - 1/2 HP, 288 GPH, Model# JSU50 8.5FX

Question

How high it can bring the water?

I need a pump for my house so when during summer the water pressure is low to be able to pump up water for the bathrooms up to the 4th floor. I may use it only a few times a year or less, so I don't need to spend a lot. Would this pump work and is there anything better for my case?
Thanks,

Question

Does pump/motor shut off if water supply exhausted?

I pump water from a 500 gallon tank. Occasionally, my neighbor forgets to fill. My last pump burned up because tank went empty or pump lost prime, but, pump/motor kept running. If no safeguards on unit, is it possible to install a flow switch that will shut unit down when flow stops.
Thank You,
Paul B.

This pump cannot run dry and will continue to run without a water supply. A low flow cutoff switch can be purchased from a local hardware or plumbing store. The switch will shut the pump off when it senses a lack of flow or pressure.

The pump could be used in an irrigation system. It was not designed for irrigation applications so it may depend on several variables however. The pump is only capable of pumping clear water. Also, the pump provides a max of 50 psi. Depending on the distance you are moving the water, inclines in terrain, number of sprinkler heads, etc, there may not be sufficient pressure at the end of the line.
