💧 Jet Pump vs Centrifugal Pump
Which One Should You Choose for Your Farm or Garden?
Selecting the right water pump for your work is crucial, especially in agriculture.
Whether it’s pumping water to irrigate vegetable plots, fruit orchards, or delivering water across your farm,
Mathong will guide you through the two most popular types of pumps: jet pumps and centrifugal pumps.
🚿 Jet Pump
Best for: Residential homes, small to medium-sized farms
- ✅ Excellent deep suction: Suitable for drawing water from wells or underground sources (8–30 meters depending on the model)
- ✅ High pressure: Great for delivering water to elevated storage tanks or multi-story houses
- ✅ Quiet operation: Runs quieter than centrifugal pumps, making it suitable for residential areas
- ✅ Compact and easy to install
- ⚠️ Limitations: Flow rate is lower than centrifugal pumps, better suited for point-to-point water delivery rather than large-volume transfer
🌊 Centrifugal Pump
Best for: Large farms, orchards, greenhouses, and heavy agricultural use
- ✅ High flow capacity: Ideal for irrigating large fields or running sprinkler systems
- ✅ Durable performance: Built for heavy-duty, continuous operation
- ✅ Cost-effective: Offers excellent flow and pressure at a reasonable price
- ⚠️ Limitations: Not suitable for deep well suction (works best with shallow water sources) and tends to be noisier
