If you’ve purchased a new home that has a well on the property, there are a few things you need to know. It’s an excellent amenity to have, and you want to be confident you get the best service from it. Also, you want assurance from a well services professional that it’s ready for use, so look into the following.

Facts to Consider About Your Well

1. SHORT CYCLING!!!!

Imagine a toddler standing at a light switch...with great glee they are switching the poor overworked light bulb  off and on as fast as possible...a sure recipe for a short life span for the poor bulb. Now imagine that instead of a 50 cent bulb and a toddler its a 1000 dollar pump and your pressure tank! That is exactly the scenario that plays out when your pressure tank becomes “waterlogged”. This condition is easiest to notice when you hear your pump running for less than 60 seconds...or you notice sudden fluctuations in your water pressure...if this condition is not corrected ASAP you are on a sure path to a meeting with a pump man! If you suspect your pressure tank has taken a turn for the worse feel free to call us!

2. Existing wells

Wells in the Ozarks can be as diverse as the people ...traveling a mere 10 miles can lead to a large variance in well depths and water quality. A common scenario in our business is a new purchase of property with an existing well that may be 30+ years old with an unknown yield….the new landowners may be looking at building a large square footage house with multiple bathrooms requiring 10-15 gpm...a completely outlandish idea when grandma and grandpa had the well drilled 50 years ago! Here at Woolsey Well Service we are glad to walk you through the well yield process...from bringing a generator to establish the wells condition to discussing your future water needs we are here to serve you! 

3. Schedule an Inspection 

There is no denying that we live in a fast paced world in 2019...we are ALL guilty of letting things go until the last minute...oil changes go until the light comes on...the washer is making that thumping noise but it aint quit yet...Most wells are forgotten until the you turn on the faucet and no water comes out….like other important appliances your well can benefit from an occasional checkup….during the month of March Woolsey Well Service is running a spring checkup special...a flat $100 gets you a complete well inspection...we will check the air in your tank, amperage draw of your motor, check the condition of your wire, inspect your control box and pressure switch...and give you a complete clean bill of health on your pump system!
