Have a question about your pump, here are some tips:
When Is It Time for a Well Pump Replacement?
1. Continuous Running
Well pumps are not designed to run constantly. They have a pressure switch that should regulate their activity. A pump that never shuts off will hike up your electricity bill, fill your pressure tank at a rate it can’t handle, and put unnecessary strain on your piping system. If your pump is continuously running, it may be struggling to get water up to the surface, the switch might be flawed, or there could be internal damages.
2. Dirty Water
A well pump that’s in good condition will discharge crystal clear water. If the water coming out of your faucets has a brown or yellow tint to it, this is a clue the pump has been infiltrated with dirt, rust, soil, or other contaminants. Polluted water shouldn’t be used, so your pump will require an upgrade before you can drink, bathe, do laundry, or wash dishes.
3. Low Water Pressure
Unusually low water pressure is another indication your pump is not operating at full capacity. If you start to notice the flow from your faucets slow down, it could be because the pump is having a hard time pushing out enough water. This is likely due to a faulty pressure switch mechanism or your current pump not being big enough to accommodate the increase in demand.
