Jet Pump not pumping
make myers 1/2 HP
model HJ50D
My deep well Jet pump sounds normal, but is not pumping much water ,maybe a liter per min. The well is full, it is not losing its prime. I believe it might be the ejector . Or could my pump just not be pumping to capacity. Dont know much any help appreciated.

It could be that the ejector is plugged up (or worn out). Other causes could include air leaks in the suction/drive lines, damaged impeller, or a bad footvalve.
That pump is relatively easy to take apart. Just remove the four bolts that hold the head on, and separate the pump. This will allow you to get a look at the impeller and guide vane. If all is well there, you'll need to look at the parts in the well.

Have done that already, it all looks good in there , nothing warped or anything. Am going to replace just to be sure. I have a feeling its the ejector, just didnt want to pull it all out, in case its not that. The lines are still full with water, so i think the checkvalve is fine. Thank you for the help, 1st time jet pump owner.
