Jet Pumps and Shallow Wells in Older Muskegon Lake Homes
Some older homes around Duck Lake, Twin Lake and Bear Lake still run a shallow well with a jet pump in the basement instead of a submersible down the casing. Jet pumps are noisier, they lose prime, and they do not like a long run of suction pipe. When one quits, sometimes the right answer is a repair and sometimes it is a move to a submersible.
We work on both, and on the rest of the setup in home well systems, from the wellhead to the tank.

Pressure Tanks and Constant Pressure Upgrades for Muskegon Homes

Pump work opens the well. We often recommend chlorinating the well afterward and a bacteria test once it is flushed.
