I have other posts about replacing my deep well jet pump where I have
no details on the actual depth of the foot valve even though the well
is 175 feet deep. Does anyone have information
on a McDonald pump installed about 1972..the model number on the pump
itself is 4651..the motor is 1/2 hp..It would be great if I could find
out to what depth this model was capable of
pumping. It seems that this unit was part of the 4600 series ..
I will call the company if I see no replies..maybe there are archives
at the company.
Rich..

What are you trying to do? Replace the pump? If so, buy another 1/2 hp or
3/4 hp and you are in business. Most well pumps are good to over 300 feet.
Check out the specs here to 350 feet

You'll know how far down it was once you pull the pump since you can measure
the wire.

Or do you have that pump and want to use it?

It is a jet pump in the cellar..with 2 plumbing lines going to the
well ..where ever it is..

Probably has a loft of about 20 to 25 feet, but if the foot valve is working
properly, it has a prime and lifts more.

This is a double pipe system. The venturi is in the well, not on the pump.
They're good for up to around 200 feet
