A deep well submersible pump can be simply placed into a shallow well and it will work. These pumps actually pump water directly and do not rely on suction. Simply cut your tube to desired length and place the deep pump in the shallow well. -NOTE- this does NOT work the other way - a shallow or jet pump is just that and can never work in a deep well.
Not here, that is for sure! When you purchase a Pacific Hydrostar Shallow Well pump be prepared to not be able to get parts if needed! j
The amperage a 220 volt well pump will pull depends on the wattage of the pump. You can calculate it by dividing the wattage by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage. For example, a 1 HP well pump typically pulls around 8-10 amps at 220 volts.
The amp requirement for running a well depends on the size of the well pump. On average, a household well pump may require anywhere from 10 to 20 amps to operate efficiently. It is important to check the specific amp requirements of your well pump to ensure it is properly powered.

Go to Myers Pump website as it is the most popular domestic pump.
The specs vary on each and every pump. You have to check with each one.
A shallow well jet pump sits on the ground next to the well. To install it, connect tubing to the intake side of the pump and put a foot valve on the end of the tubing to control the water. Lower the foot valve and tubing into the well. Remove the drain plug on the pump and pour water in it to prime it. Replace the drain plug, connect the pump to power and turn it on.
The amount of amperage needed for a 220V well will depend on the wattage of the well pump. To calculate the amperage, divide the wattage of the pump by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage required.
