Shallow Well Pumps - Home & Cottage
I have a question on folks who have a shallow well or lakefront cottage. I am looking at two different jet pumps (the suck type) I am NOT considering submersible pumps (the push type).
A typical jet pump system is something like this, where you have a pressure switch that comes on at 40 psi and shuts off the pump at 60 psi.

Has anyone used a continuous jet pump? In this design there is no pressure switch and no pressure tank. There is an electronic control system and the pump comes on after about a 5 psi pressure drop. The pump may come on a lot more, but you have a relatively constant pressure when water is required.

I am just curious if anyone has experience with both and can share that. I am considering the continuous, but still on the fence.
