Jet Pump Removal & Conversion

Upgrade to a Quiet, Reliable Submersible Pump System – No More Priming, No More Headaches

Still Using an Old Jet Pump System? It Might Be Time for a Kappus Well Pump & Water System Services "The Pump Man"Change.

Jet pumps are noisy, high-maintenance, and prone to losing prime — especially in older homes. If your water system still relies on a jet pump, chances are it’s less efficient, takes longer to build pressure, and is more likely to fail during storms or freezing weather.

Our team at The Pump Man specializes in jet pump removal and conversion — replacing outdated setups with modern submersible pump systems that are stronger, quieter, and built for long-term performance.

What’s a Jet Pump – and Why Replace It?

Jet pumps are usually installed inside your home or basement and pull water from the well using suction. They require priming, can lose efficiency over time, and aren’t ideal for deeper wells. By contrast, submersible pumps are installed directly down in the well, pushing water up with more power and reliability. They’re nearly silent, maintenance-free, and designed to last for years.

Benefits of Replacing a Jet Pump with a Submersible System

  • Quieter Operation — No more loud pump running in your basement
  • Better Pressure & Flow — Delivers more water faster
  • No More Priming — Submersible pumps are always ready to go
  • Reliable in All Seasons — Less risk of freezing or losing suction
  • Cleaner Installation — Frees up space inside your home
  • Long-Term Cost Savings —Fewer service calls and energy-efficient operation

Signs You May Need a Jet Pump Conversion

  • Your system loses prime frequently
  • You experience intermittent water loss or long pump cycles
  • Your jet pump is noisy, old, or taking up valuable space
  • You’ve been told your well is too deep for your current setup
  • You want stronger pressure and improved reliability
  • You’re upgrading other water system components (tank, filtration, etc.)

We’ll inspect your system first to make sure a conversion is the right solution – and we’ll give you a clear, professional quote with no surprises.

What’s Involved in a Jet Pump Conversion?

A typical conversion includes:

  • Full removal of the indoor jet pump and fittings
  • Installation of a new submersible pump, properly sized for your well
  • New pressure tank and electrical upgrades if needed
  • System optimization for pressure, flow rate, and safety
  • All work done to Board of Health code and DEC guidelines

How Long Does it Take?

Most conversions can be completed same-day, depending on the condition of your well and how your existing piping is configured. Emergency conversions are also available if your current system has failed.
