Regular well water pump maintenance will ensure your system runs efficiently, and the water supply remains free of harmful contaminants. When people in Tylersburg, PA, and the surrounding areas need easy-to-follow maintenance tips for well pumps, they call Frederick Drilling Co. & Sons for help. The company is the area’s leading provider of reliable, affordable, high-quality pump services. 

Below, Pennsylvania’s well pumps specialists share three maintenance tips:

• Clean the Inner Components: Dirt and additional debris can become trapped in the inner components. To clean the system, first turn off the power and pull back the cover to the pressure switch. Next, slide an emery cloth between the pressure switch contacts to remove any residue. You can use the same process to clean the aerator and faucet spout.
• Inspect the System for Damage: When cleaning the pump, you might notice burning or pitting near the pressure switch or damage to the aerator. If you spot any problems, call a well pumps specialist for help. They have the necessary replacement parts to restore your system. 
• Make Adjustments: If the pump isn’t set at the correct pressure levels, you will waste water and see an increase in your energy bills. Most pump switches are set to power off when lower pressure levels are detected and turn back on when the pressure increases. Adjusting screws for the pressure gauges and switches will help conserve water and cut down on energy costs. The manufacturer’s instructions for adjustments are normally found inside the switch cover.
