No listed product is clearly specified as a 1.5 HP deep well jet pump. The A.Y. McDonald is described as a 1.5 HP shallow well pump, while the deep-well-capable options listed have lower stated horsepower or incomplete specifications. Compare well depth, pump configuration, voltage, and the manufacturer’s performance chart before choosing.

|---|---|---|
| WAYNE CWS100 | Buyers considering a convertible pump for wells 25–90 feet deep | 1 HP; jet assembly sold separately |
| Sta-Rite SLE-L | Shoppers seeking a deep well jet pump | Provided product details do not state horsepower or performance |
| A.Y. McDonald 6156-128 | High-flow shallow-well applications | 1.5 HP, but listed as shallow well |
| Goulds J5 | Buyers needing a convertible 1/2 HP pump | Deep-well use requires appropriate fittings |
| Goulds J7 | Buyers comparing a convertible 3/4 HP option | Confirm deep-well setup requirements |
WAYNE CWS100 Convertible Jet Pump
Best for: Buyers seeking a convertible jet pump for a well listed as 25–90 feet deep. This model is rated at 1 HP, so it is not a direct match for a 1.5 HP search.
Its cast-iron volute is built for durability, and a dedicated priming port helps with filling the volute. The dual-voltage motor supports 115V or 230V operation and is factory-set to 115V. A pressure switch is preset at 30–50 PSI.
Why it was selected: The listing identifies it for deep-well use and provides a depth range, voltage, and pressure-switch details. Caution: The jet assembly is required and sold separately, so confirm the correct assembly for the installation.
Sta-Rite SLE-L Deep Well Jet Pump
Best for: Shoppers specifically comparing a product identified as a deep well jet pump. The available listing details provide the model name but do not specify horsepower, voltage, well-depth range, flow, or pressure.
Why it was selected: It is directly categorized as a deep well jet pump, making it relevant to the requested pump type. Before choosing it, obtain the manufacturer’s specifications and verify the pump’s suitability for the well and electrical supply.
Caution: The supplied product information is too limited to confirm whether this model meets a 1.5 HP requirement or a particular installation’s performance needs.
A.Y. McDonald 1.5 HP Shallow Well Pump
Best for: Buyers who need a high-flow shallow-well pump, irrigation pump, or pressure booster and are specifically comparing 1.5 HP options. The listing states a maximum flow of up to 32 GPM and dual-voltage operation at 115V or 230V.
Its stated construction includes an all-iron pump housing and stainless-steel internal components. Those details make it relevant to buyers evaluating a heavy-duty pump for water transfer or irrigation.
Why it was selected: It is the only product in this list explicitly described as 1.5 HP. Caution: The listing calls it a shallow well pump, so do not assume it can serve a deep well. Confirm the intended well depth and pump configuration before purchase.
Goulds J5 Convertible Jet Pump
Best for: Buyers comparing a convertible pump rated at 1/2 HP. The listing says it can be used for shallow or deep well applications with appropriate Goulds Water Technology fittings.
Features include a back-pullout design intended to allow service without disturbing piping and a two-compartment motor for wiring access and replaceable components. The product information also describes corrosion- and abrasion-resistant impeller materials and fittings designed to seal by hand tightening.
Why it was selected: Its stated convertible design makes it relevant to deep-well comparisons. Caution: It is substantially below 1.5 HP, and deep-well use depends on selecting the appropriate fittings.
Goulds J7 Convertible Jet Pump
Best for: Buyers considering a 3/4 HP convertible jet pump as an alternative to the listed 1/2 HP and 1 HP models. The product information identifies it as a convertible jet/deep well pump with 115V/230V power.
Its listed features include a back-pullout design for service without disturbing piping, a two-compartment motor, and a nozzle clean-out plug in the shallow-well adapter. The fittings use an O-ring design described as requiring hand tightening to seal.
Why it was selected: It offers another stated horsepower level among the convertible options. Caution: Its 3/4 HP rating does not meet a 1.5 HP requirement. Confirm the required deep-well fittings and performance for the installation.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Deep Well Jet Pump
Does the pump need to be 1.5 HP?
Start by checking the well’s pumping requirements rather than selecting by horsepower alone. This product list does not include a confirmed 1.5 HP deep well jet pump. The A.Y. McDonald is 1.5 HP but is identified as shallow well; the other products have lower stated horsepower or incomplete data. Ask the manufacturer or supplier to confirm suitability for the well depth and required water delivery.
Is the pump designed for your well depth?
Check whether the product is shallow-well, deep-well, or convertible. A convertible pump may require a separate jet assembly or model-specific fittings for deep-well use. For example, the WAYNE listing gives a 25–90-foot well range but says its jet assembly is sold separately. Do not treat a shallow-well model as a deep-well pump based on horsepower alone.
What electrical and pressure details should you compare?
Confirm the available electrical supply and the motor’s voltage settings before installation. The WAYNE and A.Y. McDonald listings specify dual-voltage operation, while the Goulds J5 and J7 listings provide voltage information. Compare pressure-switch settings and flow data only when they are provided for the exact pump configuration. A stated maximum flow does not by itself establish flow at a particular well depth or pressure.
What should you verify before ordering?
- Exact model, horsepower, and whether the pump is designed for deep-well service.
- Required jet assembly, fittings, and installation components.
- Well depth and the manufacturer’s performance information for that depth.
- Voltage, pressure requirements, and the intended household or irrigation use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a confirmed 1.5 HP deep well jet pump in this list?
No. The A.Y. McDonald is listed as 1.5 HP but is described as a shallow well pump. The other listed products do not provide a confirmed 1.5 HP deep-well match.
Can a shallow well pump be used for a deep well?
Do not assume so. Use a pump only for the well type and depth specified by its manufacturer. A convertible pump may require the appropriate deep-well fittings or jet assembly.
Which product listing gives a well-depth range?
The WAYNE CWS100 listing describes it as suitable for wells from 25 to 90 feet deep. It is a 1 HP pump, and its jet assembly is sold separately.
Is the A.Y. McDonald pump the best match for a 1.5 HP search?
It matches the stated horsepower but is listed as a shallow well pump. It is not a confirmed deep-well choice; verify the application with the manufacturer before selecting it.
What should buyers do when horsepower or depth information is missing?
Request the manufacturer’s model-specific specifications, including horsepower, well-depth suitability, required fittings, and performance data. Do not infer those details from a product name alone.
