How Can We Help Troubleshoot Your Well Pump Problem
There are several ways we can help troubleshoot your well pump problem, including:
- Conducting a visual inspection: Our plumbers will inspect your well pump and related components, such as the pressure switch, pressure tank, and control box, to identify any obvious issues.
- Testing the voltage: We will use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the well pump and control box to ensure that it is within the proper range.
- Checking the pressure: We will use a pressure gauge to measure the pressure in your well system and ensure it is within the proper range.
- Testing the flow: We will use a flow meter to measure the water flow from your well pump and ensure it is within the proper range.
- Running a diagnostic test: Our plumbers may run a diagnostic test on your well pump to check for any issues with the motor or control box.
- Reviewing the well pump’s history: Our plumbers will check the well pump’s history and previous repairs, maintenance records, and installation details to help identify the problem.
- If the problem still persists after all the above steps, we may recommend a more in-depth diagnosis, such as a camera inspection of the well or a hydrostatic test to check for leaks in the system.
By conducting these tests and inspections, we can identify the source of the problem and recommend the best course of action to repair or replace your well pump.
Types Of Well Pumps And When To Replace Them
There are several types of well pumps, each with their own unique characteristics and uses. The most common types of well pumps include:
Jet pumps: These pumps are used in shallow wells (less than 25 feet deep) and rely on a jet assembly to create a vacuum that pulls water to the surface.
Submersible pumps: These pumps are used in deeper wells (more than 25 feet deep) and are placed inside the well, submerged in the water. They are more efficient than jet pumps but also more expensive.
Constant pressure systems: These systems are used in conjunction with a submersible pump and are designed to maintain a consistent water pressure throughout the household.
When it comes to well pump replacement, it will depend on the type of well pump you have, the age of the pump, and the frequency of repairs.
Jet pumps: These pumps should be replaced every 8-15 years, depending on the usage and maintenance.
Submersible pumps: These pumps should be replaced every 10-20 years, depending on the usage and maintenance.
Constant pressure systems: These systems should be replaced every 20-25 years, depending on the usage and maintenance.
It’s also worth noting that if your well pump is making loud noises, losing prime, not producing enough water, or if the water pressure is low, these are all symptoms of a failing well pump and it may need to be replaced.
It’s always a good idea to consult a professional plumber to inspect your well pump and provide an accurate assessment of its condition, and recommend the best course of action. Call us if you are noticing any problems mentioned above so we can help you fix the issue once and for all.
