What Are Jet Pumps?
Jet Pumps are water supply pumps designed to create pressure by drawing water through an inlet system before distributing it through connected pipework.
Jet Pumps are surface-mounted water pumps designed to draw water from tanks, bores & other sources while delivering reliable pressure for household, rural & commercial water systems.
They are commonly selected where:
► Water needs to be transferred from a stored source
► Consistent pressure is required
► Above-ground pump access is preferred
► Reliable everyday water supply is important
Unlike submersible pumps that operate below water level, jet pumps are installed above ground, allowing easier access for inspection, maintenance & servicing.
Common applications include:
► Household water supply
► Rainwater tank systems
► Bore water applications
► Rural property water management
► Garden irrigation support
► Small commercial water systems
Typical jet pump systems may include:
► Surface-mounted pump units
► Pressure control equipment
► Pipe connections
► Water storage systems
► Supporting accessories
Why Choose Jet Pumps?
Selecting suitable Jet Pumps helps maintain reliable water pressure across a wide range of everyday applications.
Key benefits include:
► Reliable pressure delivery – Support consistent water flow across connected systems.
► Flexible installation – Suitable for above-ground pump setups with easier access.
► Multiple water source compatibility – Suitable for tanks, bores & stored water systems.
► Simpler maintenance access – Surface installation allows easier inspection.
► Versatile performance – Suitable for residential, rural & small commercial use.
Choosing the correct pump helps reduce pressure issues while improving long-term water system reliability.
