FAQs

How does an electric jet pump work?

Jet pumps, also known as "pressure pumps", are water pumps that contain and drive an impeller/centrifugal pump. The impeller moves water; through the jet pump and increases the pressure of the water; to assist in areas where high suction lift is required, such as double-storey homes.

Should I install a jet pump below or above the tank?

For water tanks including rainwater harvesting systems, Bromic Waterboy™ jet pumps can be installed below or above the tank.

Installing a water pump below the tank aids the water flow and hence has minimal installation requirements. If a Bromic Waterboy™ jet pump is installed above the tank, it should have a foot valve (not supplied by Bromic) installed at the bottom of the pipe in the rainwater tank. This is to prevent water from flowing back down to the tank.
