Franklin Electric FVJ1 91180010 VersaJet Shallow Well Jet Pump, 1 HP
From the Frog Favorite
This product is one of Big Frog Supply's selected From the Frog favorites.
Product Overview
The Franklin Electric FVJ1 VersaJet is a 1 HP cast iron shallow-well jet pump for compatible residential water-supply, pressure-boosting, and small irrigation systems. It uses a 115/230V, 60 Hz, single-phase motor with a 1-1/4 in. FNPT suction connection and 1 in. FNPT discharge. The pump is designed for above-ground installation with a properly constructed shallow-well or storage-water source, airtight suction piping, and a pressure-tank system sized for the required household or irrigation demand.
After the pump casing is filled for initial startup, the self-priming hydraulic design can clear air from a correctly installed suction line. The pump must not be operated dry, and the practical suction lift and delivered flow depend on water level, elevation, pipe size, foot-valve or check-valve condition, friction loss, pressure setting, and total dynamic head. Shallow-well applications are commonly limited to approximately 25 ft of suction lift under suitable conditions, but the actual installation should be checked against the manufacturer pump curve and manual. Confirm voltage configuration, motor amperage, tank compatibility, pressure controls, available water, and expected simultaneous demand before selecting the pump.
For domestic water systems, the pump must also be coordinated with the pressure tank, pressure-switch range, available well recovery, and peak household demand. For irrigation, calculate the flow and pressure required by the active zone and include suction and discharge losses. Choosing by horsepower alone can result in inadequate pressure, excessive cycling, or operation outside the preferred pump-curve range.
Key Features:
- 1 HP shallow-well jet pump
- 115/230V, 60 Hz, single-phase motor
- Cast iron hydraulic construction
- Self-priming after the initial casing fill
- 1-1/4 in. FNPT suction and 1 in. FNPT discharge
- Open-drip-proof motor enclosure
- Factory pressure switch (30/50 PSI)
- Quick-change jet-nozzle system
- Built-in drain plug
Common Uses:
- Residential shallow-well water-supply systems
- Pressure boosting from compatible storage tanks
- Small lawn, garden, and sprinkler circuits
- General clean-water transfer when the pump curve and suction conditions match the application

Sizing and Installation Notes:
Install the pump above ground in a dry, ventilated location protected from flooding, direct weather, and freezing. Use airtight suction piping, minimize unnecessary fittings, install the correct foot valve or check valve, and fill the pump casing before startup. Confirm the actual suction lift, total dynamic head, expected flow, pressure-tank size, pressure-switch setting, pipe diameter, voltage configuration, conductor size, grounding, disconnects, and overcurrent protection. Use the manufacturer pump curve and follow the Franklin Electric manual for priming, wiring, startup, winterization, and service.
FAQ:
How deep can a shallow-well jet pump lift water?
A typical practical suction lift is up to approximately 25 ft under suitable conditions. Actual performance changes with elevation, water level, piping, and friction loss.
Does self-priming mean the pump can start dry?
No. Fill the pump casing before startup and never operate the pump dry.
What are the connection sizes?
The suction is 1-1/4 in. FNPT and the discharge is 1 in. FNPT.
Can the motor use 115V or 230V?
Yes, when configured and wired according to the motor nameplate and manufacturer instructions.
