The Goulds J15S is a reliable shallow well jet pump designed for residential water delivery, pressure boosting,
and shallow well applications. This page covers its features, benefits, technical specifications, and installation
tips for homeowners and installers. The Goulds J15S is a 1.5 HP single nose shallow well jet pump, ideal for homes,
cottages, and booster services where steady water pressure matters.

Shallow well jet pumps are not submersible and are surface-mounted. Shallow well jet pumps can lift water from
0' to 25' deep, with the right fit depending on well depth and when a shallow-well setup is appropriate.
The Goulds J15S is ideal for supplying fresh water to cabins and farms in shallow-well applications.
Proper well pipe selection based on working pressure
is important for optimal performance. For wells beyond shallow-well limits, select convertible jet pumps or a
submersible pump based on the well conditions.
Many homeowners rely on expert help to find the
right well pump instead of a submersible unit like this surface-mounted model.
Applications
Supplying fresh water to homes, cabins, cottages, and farms
Pressure boosting for residential water systems
Shallow well applications where the water level is within 25 feet of the pump
Installation Tips
The integral shallow well adapter is built into the casing, eliminating the need for a separate adapter
and supporting one pipe installation with a foot valve to help the pump prime properly and ensure correct
operation when the water level stays above the inlet.
This setup helps protect the pump from dry running, supports continuous operation without damage,
includes automatic-reset overload protection, and gives you added hope for long service life and
steady performance when installed and connected near the tank.
When replacing an older unit in the same place, matching connections can make
it easier to install with basic tools like a screwdriver, pipe wrench, and adjustable wrench, and
simplify a change of parts or configuration during replacement, often with a straightforward setup
right out of the box.
