could this be used to drive the point and pipe for a shallow well (<25 ft) ?

I haven't used the Jack as a driver. I have a shallow well myself but have no need for a new point yet. The Jack is quite powerful but 25 feet is a long way to drive and if you run into obstructions you may start over. Let me know if it works as a driver. Sorry I wasn't more help in this area.

That's a good question, I never intended to use it that way. It would probably depend on the type of ground you want to drive the point and pipe into.I really wouldn't know for sure, but it sure makes fast work of breaking up concrete. For the price, you could give it a try and wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work but the motor is very strong, give it a try! ;>)

I'm not sure it will be able to go from the deep end to the shallow end. It's made more for flat bottom pools. Works great there.

you probably could if you could extend the intake pipe to the depth you need. I comes with only 3 sec. that when attached to each other will fit into a 50 Gal drum, but you could put an extender for any height you needed. The volume it pumps out is great (10 gal/min) and with very little cranking. The crank turns VERY easily. We connected a hose to the spout for gardening.

My guess is no. My pump is pulling out of a well about 13 ft deep and then up a 6% grade about 25 yards but I have a pressure tank with it..

My guess is that it wouldn't be a good use for this pump. Pumping with no back pressure can be a pretty good work out. With 20-30 feet of water you'd be lucky to make it for more than a minute

I don't think this can pull from that depth.....probably talking 1/2hp well pump power.

I never tried it but it's very torquey!I used it to drive 4" screws for a house foundation. It could snap the head off the screw once it was flush.

Probably not, the pump is designed to push water not pull it. If you could gravity feed you might be able to supply enough flow but really it requires a pressurized water source to function correctly. However it is one of the best electric pressure washers I have seen. I am very pleased with mine.

The 3/4 HP shallow well pictured should be adequate. We pump over 100 ft. . Do not get a 1/2 horsepower.

I'm sure the unit is not submersible so the water would have to be very shallow for this to work, but I don't see why you couldn't.

I would say this pump should do it , I use it to pump 20 feet from under ground , so if the hill ain't straight up it should move some water

I wouldn't recommend this for a height over about 12-15 feet. The pipe would get unweildy and heavy. Also the outlet shoots air to the side which produces a sideways force(torque) on the pipe that you must manually counter. With twice the height, you get twice the weight and twice the torque. It will tire you out quickly.

Yes it is possible, with the right reduction couplings and or adaptors, but it was meant for a larger volume discharge. This would defeat the purpose of having a high flow pump and having it discharge through a smaller diameter hose!.

Never tried it, but it would probably work. I would think that a bracket "designed" for a well might be better as it would distribute the weight of the fan over a larger area.

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.

Yes, it has more than enough power, but, it would be slow. You would be better off with a hammer drill.

It should work quite well. You mean 2500gpm not hp. 2500 hp would blow the walls off your pool. Aim the nozzle to the left or right and use the strongest chemicals you can find. Reason for aiming is it will circulate better and you can do laps on a noddle without having to kick or stroke.
