On average, well pumps are given a life expectancy of 25 years. Knowing when your well water pump needs to be replaced, however, is often determined by more than its age. Clampitt’s Well Systems has spent the last 25 years installing, maintaining, and repairing water wells in Gray, GA, and they know you can’t afford to have your well pump break down. Knowing when it’s time for a replacement will save you time, money, and hassle.

Clampitt’s Well Systems shares the most common signs that indicate your well water pump is reaching the end of its life:

• Decreased Water Pressure: Weakening water pressure is a clear indication your well pump is failing. It may start with a barely distinguishable decrease, but over time, the pressure will get weaker and weaker.
• Dirty Water: If your water is coming out of the faucet looking cloudy or dirty, there are several potential causes including rusting pipes and old water heaters. A failing well water pump, however, is at the top of the list.  
• High Electric Bills: The harder your well pump works, the more energy it uses. If your electric bill has suddenly spiked, your well water pump is a likely culprit. High electric bills are often an indication that the pump is continuously running in order to maintain water pressure.
• “Spitting” Air: A failing well pump will let air leak into the pipes. The result is a startling spitting noise whenever you turn on the faucet.
• Odd Noises: As your well water pump ages, the inner mechanisms will become worn and loose. If your pump produces loud clangs, bangs, or whines every time it’s activated, that’s the sound of your well pump breaking down.
