Digging a well can be a wonderful way to keep your home provided with fresh, cool water but only as long as your pump is working correctly. There are several potential points of failure in the system, from the electronics to blockage in the pump intake. Conyers Well Service in Dimmitt, TX, lists some of the most common reasons for pump repair.

Reasons You May Need Well Pump Repair

Bad Pressure Switch

Pump RepairIf no water at all is coming through your pipes, but the power to the pump is on and the breaker hasn't been tripped, the most likely problem is the pressure switch. This is the piece of your pump that detects when the supply of water in your tank is low and signals the refill. If the pressure switch is broken or corroded, it may not activate, and your pump won't refill.

Electrical Problems

A poorly designed electrical hookup may result in a pump that frequently trips your breaker. This situation may not call for direct repair, but you'll still have to upgrade the electrical system connected to it.

Broken Pump Controller

This is the piece of equipment monitoring all the signals and electronic activity and turns the pump on or off. It's a difficult piece of equipment to test or fix, so repair is imperative.

Waterlogged Tank

If your water pressure is low, it may mean something has gotten into the pump. Inside the tank, there are separate partitions for air and water; the air bladder is what maintains tank pressure. If water leaks into the bladder, the pressure will decrease.

While some pump repairs can be completed yourself, others will require a water well maintenance technician. For help with well pump installation or repair, contact Conyers Well Service at (806) 647-3215, or visit them online to schedule a visit.
