what is the maximum practical lift for a shallow well pump?
The specs vary on each and every pump. You have to check with each one.
Can you use a deep jet well pump as a shallow well pump by plugging off the top hole and only using the bottom?
yes
Is 250 considered a deep well or shallow well?
Anything over 80 feet is considered a deep well. A jet pump can pump up from 80 feet, more than that needs a submersible pump.
Can you replace a two pipe jet pump with a single pipe jet pump?
Yes you can if the water level from the inlet of the pump is less than 25 feet. That's the limit of a shallow well jet pump. It can lift water physically 25 feet vertically, no more. If the well casing diameter is three inch or larger you could also install a submersible pump.[url="http://www.pumpsandtanks.com/Pumps/jet_pumps.htm"]Jet Pumps[/url]
How do I know if a shallow well that has not been used for 20 or so years is still good and How do I set up a shallow well pump to it?
If the pipe is still in the ground, drop a weight on a string down it and see how much if any water is in the bottom of the pipe. Shallow wells can come and go depending on location, the source of the water and the weather. If there is still water in it, you hook a pump up to the pipe, prime it and start pumping.

Can you use a deep well jet pump as a shallow well jet pump?
Yes. You can use a deep well pump as a shallow well pump. You simply can not go the other way. A shallow well pump produces a vacuum and draws the water to the top by the vacuum. It is restricted to 20 feet maximum depth. Deep well pumps use a different mechanism. They either lift the liquid or pump it with a pump at the bottom of the well. They do not have the 20 foot limit.
What are the steps in converting deep well water pump to shallow well water pump?
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.

Where can you find information about shallow well pumps?

Can you replace a shallow well pump with an above ground pool pump and will it have enough suction lift to lift the water 20ft?
Above ground pool pumps are made to sit at or below the water level, not to pull water up. If placed above the water level, or away from the pool-side they will not circulate the water properly and may not even prime. For your well, a better option is to go for an in-ground pool pump - or better still, purchase a pump made for your particular application.
How do you install a shallow well jet pump?
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.
Is 250 considered a deep well or shallow well?
Anything over 80 feet is considered a deep well. A jet pump can pump up from 80 feet, more than that needs a submersible pump.
How do you pick up water from well?
With a pump, or with a bucket on a rope. Or if it's a shallow well, lean over an dip a cup in it.
