Franklin Electric SWJ Non-Corrosive Shallow Well Jet Pump

The Franklin Electric SWJ Non-Corrosive Shallow Well Jet Pump is an above-ground water supply pump with a thermoplastic housing for clean-water systems where resistance to rust matters. Ken’s Distributing supplies the 1/2, 3/4 and 1 HP SWJ models and helps customers identify matching SWJ repair and replacement parts, including impeller kits, mechanical seals and nozzle/venturi assemblies.

• Choose a complete pump: Three 115/230V single-phase models with 1-1/4 in. suction, 1 in. discharge and a factory-set 30/50 PSI pressure switch.
• Repair your SWJ pump: Match the original pump item number to the correct impeller kit and injector components in the parts tables below.
• Built for service: Replaceable in-line nozzle/venturi, self-cleaning injector screen, accessible square-flange mounting and case drain plug.
• Request a quote: Send your model number, required GPM and pressure, or a photo of the nameplate and the replacement part you need.

Franklin Electric SWJ Non-Corrosive Shallow Well Jet Pump Specifications

Choose an SWJ Pump by Model, Item Number and Horsepower

All three models have the same suction and discharge sizes and use single-phase, dual-voltage motors. Compare the motor rating, dimensions and existing pipe connections when replacing an older shallow-well pump. The underlined item numbers open the individual pump product pages.

Model data above reflects Franklin Electric’s current individual SKU specifications. The manufacturer has also used the FSWJ10P designation for item 91093010 in some older catalogs. Use the item number and nameplate to confirm an exact replacement.

SWJ Pump Performance: GPM at 50 PSI

Horsepower alone does not determine delivered flow. The manufacturer’s published performance data below compares approximate flow at a 50 PSI discharge pressure at two total suction-lift conditions. The actual result will also depend on the piping and water level.

These are manufacturer catalog duty points, not maximum flow ratings. For an installation with a different pressure requirement, consult the model-specific curve rather than extrapolating from this table.

SWJ Replacement Parts: Impeller Kits and Nozzle/Venturi by Model

Repairing a SWJ shallow-well jet pump starts with its model and original item number. Franklin Electric specifies different impeller kits for each horsepower, while the 3/4 and 1 HP pumps share one nozzle/venturi assembly. The model-specific references below come from the SWJ owner’s manual.

What comes in an impeller kit? The manufacturer’s kit includes the impeller, diffuser, wear ring, mechanical seal, O-ring and disk. Customers replacing a worn impeller should compare the complete kit with the individual components they need before ordering.

Common Franklin Electric SWJ Repair and Replacement Parts

These additional part numbers are listed in the SWJ parts breakdown. They can help identify a leaking seal, cracked pump case, failed pressure switch, worn seal plate or damaged nozzle assembly without ordering an entire pump.

Request SWJ repair-parts pricing: Tell Ken’s Distributing whether you need an impeller kit, mechanical seal, nozzle/venturi, pressure switch or another component. Include the pump model, nameplate information and part number from the table. We will confirm identification, pricing and availability before an order is placed.

Why Choose a Non-Corrosive SWJ Shallow Well Pump?

• Thermoplastic wet end: An alternative to a rust-prone cast iron casing for compatible fresh-water applications.
• Self-cleaning injector screen: Helps reduce clogging at the injector when small particles are present.
• Replaceable nozzle and venturi: Supports repair of an obstructed or worn jet assembly without replacing the whole pump.
• Square-flange pump construction: Service access is designed to minimize disturbance to installed plumbing.
• Factory 30/50 PSI pressure switch: Suited to a properly configured pressure-tank water system.
• Drain plug and accessible parts: Helps with seasonal draining and regular servicing.

The SWJ is intended for suitable clean-water installations. Thermoplastic construction resists rust, but it does not establish compatibility with every acidic, brackish or chemically aggressive source.

SWJ Applications, Installation and Service

Franklin Electric identifies rural homes, farms and cabins as typical applications for SWJ shallow-well pumps. They can also serve suitable pressure-tank water systems and light utility-water uses where the selected pump meets the flow and pressure requirement.

• Shallow well supply: Measure vertical distance from the pump to the pumping water level. This is different from the full drilled-well depth.
• Suction piping: Use airtight pipe and an appropriate foot/check valve to maintain prime; do not undersize the suction line.
• Pressure tank: Select a correctly sized tank and precharge for the 30/50 PSI switch.
• Motor and installation: Match the wiring to the 115/230V nameplate and provide suitable ventilation and protection from weather.
• Maintenance: Disconnect power, drain the casing and follow the owner’s manual before servicing the injector, impeller or shaft seal.

If the pump loses prime or has poor flow, the cause may be a suction leak, a clogged injector/impeller or a water level below the pump’s operating range. Match the symptoms to the installation and the exact part before ordering a repair kit.

SWJ Thermoplastic vs. VersaJet Cast Iron Shallow Well Pumps

See the Franklin Electric VersaJet cast iron shallow-well pump if you need an alternative pump housing or a 1-1/2 HP option. The VersaJet Pro shallow-well pump is another cast iron option. For a water level beyond ordinary shallow-well suction lift, explore the Franklin Electric C Series convertible jet pump and its injector configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions: SWJ Pumps and Replacement Parts

Can I buy a complete Franklin Electric SWJ pump or just repair parts?

Both. Ken’s Distributing provides quotes for complete SWJ pump models and helps identify compatible repair and replacement parts. Send us the pump model, item number or part number so we can confirm your request.

What is the correct impeller kit for FSWJ05P, FSWJ07P or FSWJ1P?

Franklin Electric lists 05-3922-04-RKIT for FSWJ05P, 05-3923-03-RKIT for FSWJ07P, and 05-3857-03-RKIT for the 1 HP SWJ configuration. Each kit includes several wet-end repair components, not just the impeller.

Do the 3/4 HP and 1 HP SWJ pumps use the same nozzle and venturi?

Yes. The manufacturer lists 18-0450-05-R for the 3/4 HP and 1 HP SWJ models. The 1/2 HP pump uses 18-0449-09-R instead.

Can a mechanical seal be replaced without replacing the whole pump?

Yes. The SWJ parts breakdown identifies the 5/8 in. mechanical seal as part 10-0002-06. It is also included in the corresponding impeller kit.

How deep can an SWJ shallow-well pump lift water?

Its shallow-well suction-lift limit is approximately 25 ft under suitable conditions. Measure from the pump to the water level while pumping, allowing for losses in the suction piping.

Is the SWJ a submersible pump? What makes it non-corrosive?

No. It is an above-ground jet pump. The non-corrosive description refers to its thermoplastic pump housing and hydraulics, which do not rust like iron casings.

Can the SWJ be used in a drinking-water system?

Franklin Electric lists NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 certification for lead-content compliance in water-system components. The installation and water source still need to meet applicable requirements.

How do I request prices for an SWJ pump or replacement parts?

Provide the pump model (FSWJ05P, FSWJ07P or FSWJ1P), an item or replacement-part number, the symptoms or flow/pressure requirements, and the delivery location. Ken’s Distributing can confirm the appropriate product and quote availability. You can also call 303-699-7845.
