Generated explanation

The illustration shows three pump arrangements for private well water supplies. The two-line deep-well jet pump sits above the well and circulates water down to a jet in the well, where venturi action draws in well water for return to the pump and delivery to the house. The one-line shallow-well jet pump has its jet at the aboveground pump, with an inlet from the well and an outlet to the house. The deep-well submersible pump is positioned within the water-filled well casing and pushes water upward through a discharge pipe; it is labeled as the most powerful type. Arrows indicate water flow through each arrangement.
