Franklin Electric VersaJet Pump Specifications

Choose a Complete VersaJet Shallow Well Pump

Use the model and item number to identify the correct complete pump. These standard-nozzle flow values are taken at 5 ft total suction lift and 30 PSI discharge pressure; delivered flow varies with the operating point, piping and selected nozzle. The underlined item numbers open the corresponding pump pages.

Franklin Electric VersaJet Replacement Parts by Model

Repairing an existing VersaJet? The model on your pump’s data plate determines which impeller, nozzle/venturi assembly and overhaul kit to order. Standard VersaJet and VersaJet Pro models can use different kits even at the same horsepower, so match the exact model suffix before requesting parts.

Common VersaJet service part numbers: Shaft seal 305421907; impeller eye seal / wear ring 305373906; factory-type 30/50 PSI pressure switch PRSW3050. These are listed for the VersaJet series in Franklin Electric service documentation. Overhaul kits group multiple wet-end repair components; confirm kit contents and model compatibility when ordering.

Request replacement parts: Provide your pump model (FVJ05CI, FVJ07CI, FVJ1CI or FVJ15CI), the part number from the table, and a description of the problem. Ken’s Distributing can confirm the appropriate repair components, current price and availability. For additional families, see our Franklin Electric replacement parts selection.

When to Repair a VersaJet Pump vs. Replace It

• Loss of pressure or reduced flow: First check the suction line for air leaks, the water level and the nozzle or impeller for blockage. If wet-end parts are worn or damaged, an appropriately matched impeller or overhaul kit may address the problem.
• Leak near the motor or seal plate: Inspect the mechanical shaft seal and seal-plate components. Use the correct seal or kit for the pump model.
• Pump cycling too often: Check pressure-tank precharge, plumbing leaks and the pressure switch before assuming the pump end needs replacement.
• Extensive casing or motor damage: Compare the cost and availability of individual repairs against a complete replacement pump.

Not sure which route makes sense? Share the existing pump model and symptoms with Ken’s Distributing. We can help identify a replacement pump or the specific repair parts to request.

Why Choose the Cast Iron VersaJet Series?

• Accessible surface-pump design: The motor, controls and pump end remain above ground for inspection and service.
• Cast iron housing: A durable case with dedicated pressure and drain ports for installation and maintenance.
• Flexible nozzle choices: The supplied nozzle options let installers select Standard, High Flow or High Pressure performance at the required duty point.
• Dual-voltage power: Four horsepower choices, each with a 115/230V single-phase motor.
• Built for a pressure-tank system: The installed 30/50 PSI switch simplifies integration with a properly sized pressure tank.
• Repairable wet end: Model-matched overhaul, impeller, diffuser, nozzle/venturi, O-ring and seal-plate kits help identify service options.

Standard, High Flow and High Pressure Nozzle Options

The Standard nozzle suits many household pressure-system applications. The High Flow nozzle is intended for operating points that favor water volume, while the High Pressure option shifts performance toward higher discharge pressure. Choose by checking the pump curve at the actual suction lift and required delivery pressure, rather than relying on horsepower alone.

The factory standard nozzle is installed. Franklin Electric’s operating instructions describe changing nozzles using the supplied wrench; the pressure-switch setting may need to be checked when a different nozzle is used.

VersaJet Standard, High Flow and High Pressure Performance Curves

VersaJet vs. VersaJet Pro: Which Pump and Parts Fit?

Compare the Franklin Electric VersaJet Pro shallow well pumps if you are replacing a Pro unit or reviewing an alternative model. Verify exact model numbers before ordering replacement parts.

Common VersaJet Applications and Installation Details

• Home and cabin well water: Above-ground fresh-water supply from suitable shallow wells connected to a pressure tank.
• Farm and outbuilding supply: General clean-water supply where the required flow and pressure fall within the chosen pump curve.
• Lawn and garden watering: Irrigation systems sized for the pump’s real operating point rather than its maximum advertised flow.
• Seasonal properties: Accessible drain plug and service components for winterization.

The 25 ft shallow-well limit describes suction lift to the pumping water level, not the entire drilled-well depth. An airtight, correctly sized suction pipe and a suitable foot valve are important for retaining prime. The pump should be filled with water before starting and protected against freezing. For installations needing a convertible shallow/deep-well design, review the Franklin Electric C Series convertible jet pump.

Frequently Asked Questions About VersaJet Pumps and Repair Parts

Can I request a complete VersaJet pump and replacement parts from Ken’s Distributing?

Yes. Send us the model or item number for a complete pump quote, or the model and part number for a repair-parts quote. We will confirm fit, pricing and availability.

Which overhaul kit fits my Franklin Electric VersaJet pump?

Use the full model number: FVJ05CI takes 305405901; FVJ07CI takes 305405902; FVJ1CI takes 305405903; and FVJ15CI takes 305405904. The Pro models with a -P suffix require checking their own compatibility.

Are the VersaJet impeller, shaft seal and nozzle/venturi replaceable?

Yes. Franklin Electric lists model-matched impeller and nozzle/venturi kits, a common shaft seal, and other wet-end repair components. Check the exact model before ordering.

Does a VersaJet shallow well pump come with a pressure switch?

Yes. Each of the four standard models has a factory-installed 30/50 PSI pressure switch for a compatible pressure-tank setup.

How deep can a VersaJet draw water?

It is intended for shallow-well suction lift up to 25 ft. Available output depends on pumping water level, pipe losses, discharge pressure and nozzle selection.

What does 75 PSI maximum working pressure mean?

It is the pump’s maximum working-pressure rating, not a guarantee that every model will deliver 75 PSI at a useful flow. Match the pump to its performance curve.

Are the components certified for drinking-water systems?

The listed NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 standard addresses lead content in components. It does not independently verify the quality of the water source.

What details should I send for a pump or repair-parts quote?

For a complete pump, send the preferred model, voltage, target flow, pressure and pumping water level. For parts, send the pump nameplate model, requested part number and any symptoms or photographs that help identify the component. Call Ken’s Distributing at (303) 699-7845 if you need assistance.
