For those with a private water well system on their property, you're familiar with all the maintenance and repairs it requires. If you've been having problems lately and only used above-ground water pumps, Werner Well & Pump Service LLC suggests switching to submersible pumps.

Family-owned and operated, this small business has provided trustworthy, reliable, and personalized water well services throughout the New Milford, CT, area and beyond. Whenever you call, you'll always speak directly to a Werner; all hands-on work is handled by Al or his son Alan while Al’s wife, Amber handles the business side of things.

Just like its above-ground counterpart, a submersible pump is the part of the system that delivers water from the well to your house. As its name implies, it functions completely underground and underwater.

Cylindrically shaped, the length of the average submersible pump ranges between two to four feet while the diameter is between four to six inches. The pump is driven by a sealed electric motor. The pump draws water in and pushes it up to the surface.

Then, the water moves through a pipe and into a pressure tank where it's ready to be routed to the plumbing system. Both the submersible pump and pressure tank are available in various sizes to accommodate different types of properties.

Based on their location, submersible pumps are not subjected to the same problems as above-ground pumps. One common problem is cavitation, which is when air bubbles form inside of the pump. If ignored, cavitation can negatively affect the pressure and flow, as well as physically damage various parts.
