If you have a private well instead of city services for your residential water system, your well pump is a crucial part of your system. It brings water to your house from deep in the earth, and without it, your home’s water pressure would be lacking. 

Keeping Your Well Pump in Working Order

The way a well pump works is pretty simple. It is usually situated near the surface if you have a shallow well that’s less than 25 feet deep. An electric jet pump draws water up from the source below and then propels the it through pipes to your home. In a well up to 200 feet in depth, the well pump works to push water toward the surface.

Anchorage Well & Pump Services of Anchorage, AK, understands the importance of a properly functioning well pump, especially for rural residents who don’t have access to any other source of water. They say over time, electrical connections can corrode or debris can clog the well pump. If this happens, your water supply is at risk, and you may notice the pressure isn’t as strong as it was, or you may have no water at all. A qualified professional who provides pump services will need to repair or replace your pump if this happens.
