Homeowners who are accustomed to using a public water supply might encounter some difficulty when they make the switch to a well. This is why pump service experts recommend familiarizing yourself with your new water well so you’ll know how to use it properly, recognize potential problems, and perform maintenance if necessary.

Below are some of the most important things you need to do if you own a water well system:

• Know the Location of Your Well: Many homeowners don’t know where their well is located. Before you move into a new home, ask your real estate broker where the wellhead is located so you know exactly where to look if an issue arises.

• Don’t Attempt to Fix Your Well Pump on Your Own: Attempting to fix your water well pump without the right tools or the necessary expertise can be dangerous. Attempting repairs on your own can introduce harmful bacteria into the water system, creating a health hazard. For your safety, leave repair and replacement in the hands of a licensed and fully trained pump service.

• Invest in Better Quality Parts: When it comes to water pump parts, cheaper is not always better. Higher quality components may come with a steeper price tag, but they are guaranteed to last longer, which helps you save money in the long run.
