12V shallow well jet pump

morpho · December 2011

Does anybody know if anyone makes a 12V shallow well jet pump?

I'm tired of bucketing water and I need to get some pressurized water happening and all I need to do is decide on a pump.
I have a cistern in a greenhouse with a 1" Poly pipe that drops down 6' then runs about 20 feet horizontal then up into the house.

I'm also open to any thoughts on 12V RV style pumps, but they better be rugged and have high enough water pressure.
I know the water heater needs 30 PSI and has a max flow of 3 GPM.

I'm open to all thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks

Not a jet pump (which uses a return stream to increase lift on a centrifugal pump) but have a look at the Shurflo pumps: http://www.solar-electric.com/shacdcwapu.html

The 2088 might do the job for you.

Look at the Shureflow 9300 submersible. It will deliver~3 gpm into 60 psi, on 12 volts, more at lower pressure and run on 24 vdc. They are not real cheap, but they are well built and they are completly rebuildible. I use one, and it lives in the bottom of the lake, below the ice for 7 months a year and performs perfectly,, for 4 years now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I finally found a company that has a 12V shallow well pump, but I couldn't get em' to answer the phone. So that is a bad sign.

So at this stage I'm going to have a look at the RV style and submersible models mentioned.

Thanks.
