There are many benefits to keeping a private well on your own property, such as being free of water restrictions and chemical treatment, but it's important to remember that they come with additional responsibilities. Water well repair and maintenance must be dealt with swiftly to prevent further problems. As the experts at Coolwater Drilling in Bremerton, WA, know, accidents happen, and sometimes a pump replacement is necessary.

If you think you need a new pump installation, keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Low Water Pressure: Low water pressure may be the biggest indicator that your pump is malfunctioning. Coolwater Drilling will investigate and locate the source of the issue.

  • Increased Electrical Usage: If you haven't noticed a decrease in water pressure, you may have seen an increase in electrical usage. This happens because your pump is working overtime to maintain the pressure.
  • Expansion Tank Pressure Loss: When the expansion tank loses pressure, it will overcompensate to ensure the tank stays full. This stress will negatively affect your well pump.
  • Power Outage: Many well pumps require a backup generator or battery. In the event of power failure, it's very likely they'll stop functioning.
  • Repair Costs: When the cost of repairs becomes greater than the cost of a replacement, it's time for a new pump. Coolwater Drilling will do everything they can regarding pump repair, but they will let you know when a new pump installation is in your best interest.
  • Age: If you have a submersible pump, they have an average lifespan of 25 years. Because of its location, it's susceptible to collecting sediment and other particles; well maintenance is essential to ensuring it's running smoothly.
