Signs That You May Need Well Pump Repair
The age of your pump is something to be aware of, as older well pumps can start to have problems maintaining pressure for your needs. The general rule of thumb for well pump repairs is that if the repair will cost half or more of the cost to replace the well pump, you should replace it. Anything less and you are better off with the well pump repairs. If your well pump runs constantly as well, this is not a good sign as it could have a leak in the system or there could be a partial blockage that needs to be removed.
Does your well pump break down regularly? It is possible that things were not installed correctly, or perhaps the pump itself is faulty and was never working right from the start. If you are seeing sand or sediments in your well water, this needs to be corrected right away as this is an issue likely related to your well pump and it may need repairs or a full replacement.
How To Plan for Well Pump Repair
When it comes to repairing your well pump, knowing what kind of well pump you have will save a lot of headache when it comes to knowing what parts will fit. Keep records of the important details of the well pump, such as the horsepower, pump model number, pipe size and type, well depth, wire size and the well casing diameter, along with other records. If you can also have a record of when the pump was installed and what past repairs, if any, were done, this will also help in determining the best course of action.
