If your home is off the municipal water grid, well installation is the best way to receive a clean supply of water. Wells require unique care, which is why you should understand the basics of well systems as well as their benefits. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about where your water will come from and the advantages you can expect from an investment in a water well.

Understanding Water Wells

How Do They Work?

Water wells draw water directly from underground sources, as opposed to municipal water systems, which send water to your home through a network of pipes. Spent water is then returned to a wastewater treatment facility, where it is cleaned and pumped backed into homes, continuing the cycle. During well installation, professionals drill deep into the ground to access a natural water source. They’ll then fill the hole with a casing and install a water pump to draw water from the source. The water feeds into a tank that will hold it until a faucet is turned on in your home.

What Are the Benefits?

Following well installation, you’ll have a completely free water source, which is healthier than municipal water. Well water is naturally filtered through aquifers and picks up a variety of healthy minerals, such as calcium. It’s also free of the chemicals and contaminants found in municipal systems. You’ll never have to worry about municipal water mains bursting and interrupting your service, and this eco-friendly solution never requires chemicals nor extensive power to operate. You need only to schedule a yearly well inspection and take a few steps to keep local contaminants out.
