Do you dread turning on the shower only to be met with a weak stream of water? If you count on a well to provide water to your home, it is important to keep it up do date to avoid this unfortunate situation. For a well that continues to deliver a strong, clean flow of water, the team at Everetts Well Drilling & Irrigation in Quitman, GA, recommend getting a submersible pump. 

How Installing a Submersible Pump Benefits Your Home

1. It Is Efficient

Depending on how deep the well is, choosing a submersible pump can help cut down on energy costs. While jet pumps operate by pulling water from the well to transport to your home, submersible pumps push the water using natural air pressure. Additionally, if your well is over 25 feet and less than 400 feet deep, this well pump is powerful enough to bring the water to the surface.

2. Priming Is Not Necessary

When a jet pump hasn’t been used for a while, it often will stop functioning. To get it working again, it has to be primed. In this process, water must be forced into the pump to help build the pressure it needs to pull water from the ground. On the other hand, submersible water pumps do not need to be primed to begin working again.

3. It Lasts Longer

While shallow well pumps usually last up to ten years, submersible pumps have a life expectancy of up to 25 years if they are well-maintained. Having your pump regularly serviced can also help extend its longevity. A well-drilling contractor will check for things like placement, satisfactory motor lubrication, and water temperature.
