VersaJet Pro Replacement Parts and Repair Kits

If your VersaJet Pro has lost prime, developed a seal leak, or is delivering less water than before, you may need a specific replacement component rather than a complete pump. Franklin Electric provides different VersaJet Pro overhaul kits, impeller kits, nozzle and venturi kits for each hydraulic model. The part numbers below follow its VersaJet Series replacement-parts listing.

Pump model Overhaul kit Impeller kit Nozzle & venturi kit O-ring kit Seal plate kit
FVJ05CI-P (1/2 HP) 305405902 305405919 305405909 305405914 305405924
FVJ07CI-P (3/4 HP) 305405903 305405920 305405910 305405915 305405925
FVJ1CI-P (1 HP) 305405904 305405921 305405911 305405915 305405925

Other common VersaJet service items identified in the same parts listing include mechanical shaft seal 305421907, impeller eye seal/wear ring 305373906, pressure switch PRSW3050 and diffuser screw kit 305405928. These are listed for the VersaJet series generally; confirm your precise configuration when requesting parts.

An overhaul kit groups several wet-end components for a more extensive repair, while a single seal or impeller kit can be appropriate when the remaining components are sound. Send Ken’s Distributing your FVJ05CI-P, FVJ07CI-P or FVJ1CI-P model number to confirm the correct repair component and obtain a quote. You can also browse the Franklin Electric replacement parts selection.

Choosing Standard, High Flow or High Pressure Nozzles

The VersaJet Pro comes with three interchangeable nozzle options. Its Allen-wrench Quick-Change system lets you change the nozzle without opening the pump case or disconnecting the piping. This is useful when a replacement pump needs to serve a different duty point or the system’s flow and pressure requirements change.

  • Standard: A balanced starting point for typical household pressure-tank systems.
  • High Flow: Prioritizes water volume when the application needs more flow at the selected operating conditions.
  • High Pressure: Favors higher pressure performance where the system demands it.

Compare the manufacturer’s curve for the exact horsepower and nozzle with your required GPM, delivery pressure and suction lift. The 75 PSI working-pressure rating is not a promise that the pump will deliver 75 PSI at every flow.

VersaJet Pro vs. Standard VersaJet: Which Pump Fits?

Both pump lines are cast iron shallow-well jet pumps with different nozzle configurations. The key differences are the specific model range and the Pro Quick-Change design, not a claim that the standard VersaJet cannot use alternate nozzles.

Buying consideration VersaJet Pro Standard VersaJet
Horsepower models 1/2, 3/4 and 1 HP 1/2, 3/4, 1 and 1-1/2 HP
Nozzle selection Three supplied nozzles with Allen-wrench Quick-Change arrangement Alternate nozzle options for different operating demands
Pump case Cast iron Cast iron
Factory pressure switch 30/50 PSI 30/50 PSI
Best reason to consider Quick-change nozzle convenience across the three Pro models Broader horsepower range, including 1-1/2 HP

Need the larger 1-1/2 HP option or want to compare the two series? Review the standard Franklin Electric VersaJet shallow-well jet pump.

Applications and Installation Considerations

  • Homes and cabins: Supply clean fresh water from an appropriately sized shallow-well and pressure-tank system.
  • Garden irrigation: Select the nozzle and motor size using the sprinkler zone’s required GPM and pressure.
  • Rural properties: Above-ground access makes pressure-switch and wet-end servicing straightforward.
  • Replacing an older pump: Confirm the actual pumping water level, suction-line size, electrical configuration and required duty point before switching models.

Plan for an airtight suction line, a suitable foot or check valve, a compatible pressure tank and adequate access for priming and servicing. The shallow-well suction-lift guideline is based on the pumping water level, not the total drilled depth of the well.

Frequently Asked Questions About VersaJet Pro Pumps and Parts

Can I buy a complete Franklin Electric VersaJet Pro pump from Ken’s Distributing?

Yes. Request pricing for item 91181005 (1/2 HP), 91181007 (3/4 HP) or 91181010 (1 HP). Ken’s Distributing can confirm the selected model’s price and availability by quote.

What repair kit fits my FVJ05CI-P VersaJet Pro?

Franklin Electric lists overhaul kit 305405902 for FVJ05CI-P. The impeller kit is 305405919. Confirm the full nameplate model before ordering.

Which overhaul kits fit FVJ07CI-P and FVJ1CI-P?

The listed overhaul kits are 305405903 for FVJ07CI-P and 305405904 for FVJ1CI-P. The two pumps also use different impeller and nozzle/venturi kits, as shown in the parts table.

Can I replace the mechanical seal instead of the entire VersaJet Pro pump?

Yes, when the issue is limited to the seal and the rest of the pump is serviceable. The VersaJet Series parts list identifies shaft seal 305421907; ask for model confirmation before ordering.

Is the VersaJet Pro a shallow-well or submersible pump?

It is an above-ground shallow-well jet pump, not a submersible pump. It is intended for installations with suitable suction-lift conditions up to approximately 25 feet.

Does the VersaJet Pro include a pressure switch and interchangeable nozzles?

Yes. Each listed model has a factory-installed 30/50 PSI pressure switch and includes Standard, High Flow and High Pressure nozzle options.

Does NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 certify drinking-water quality?

No. It covers lead-content requirements for components; it does not test the quality of the well water itself.

What information should I send when requesting pump or repair-parts pricing?

For a complete pump, send the horsepower, model or item number, voltage, water level and target flow/pressure. For replacement parts, send the model from the pump nameplate, any known part number and a description of the repair. Ken’s Distributing will help confirm the correct item and quote.

Other Franklin Electric Shallow-Well Options

For a non-corrosive pump-housing alternative, see the Franklin Electric SWJ shallow-well jet pump. For applications where a shallow/deep-well convertible configuration is appropriate, compare the Franklin Electric C Series convertible jet pump.
