Thank you for visiting Water Pumps Direct. In answer to your question, the maximum suction or depth that a shallow well pump can handle is 25 feet. A CONVERTIBLE JET PUMP can handle depths of up to 90 feet, max. In your case, the only option would be a DEEP WELL submersible pump, providing that you can get a 4" diameter pump into your well.
