How often should I have my well inspected?

• <div><p>You should have your well inspected once per year. You should also have a well inspection done when you’re buying a house with a private well, when the well cap is opened, when the septic tank is repaired, or when there is flooding.</p><p>During your annual visit, a pro will make sure that everything is working correctly and check for certain contaminants, including total coliform. Every other year, they’ll look for things like metals and nitrates, and every five years, they’ll test for pesticides.</p></div>

Q: Will a larger pressure tank give me better water pressure?

• <div><p>A larger well pressure tank won&rsquo;t improve water pressure on its own. However, bigger tanks don&rsquo;t have to cycle as often as smaller ones, which reduces the amount of stress on your well system. As a result, a bigger tank can last longer and might experience fewer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/well-pump-problems.htm">well pump issues</a> that could impact your water pressure.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals ensure the quality of well water?

• <div><p>Through testing for pH, bacteria, and contaminants, ensuring safe consumption.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if an irrigation pump is burned out?

• <div><p>There are many signs to look for that will tell you when your irrigation pump is burned out. This may include low water pressure, sprinklers that sputter a lot before turning on, discolored or dirty water, or a pump that stops working altogether. If your pump has any of these issues, it is probably time to replace it.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my well pump?

• <div><p>If the well pump is more than 10 years old, it's worth contacting a well pump repair pro near you and weighing the cost of repairs against buying a new well pump. Pumps can last a long time with regular maintenance, but if your pump is nearing the 10-year mark and starts needing repairs frequently, it&rsquo;s time to replace it.</p></div>

We were having problems with our well pump. We didn't want to call the company who'd installed it, because we'd been burning through pumps and felt we were being taken advantage of. We had already called another pump company but the owner, while seemingly very nice, was uncommunicative (he kept...

Our spring was inadequate in volume and in water quality. We called 3 companies in Humboldt county to help us. One took a water sample and never contacted us again. One designed a $13,000 filter system that did not deal with our volume or storage short falls--no explanation, just a single sheet...

We have to rely on our own well. The price wasn't bad, considering they had to drill six hundred feet down. He is punctual and honest, which is unusual for a well guy out here. He is efficient and he has good cleanup. He is extremely professional.

Mike called back within an hour and walked me through a check list. He would not be able to make a service call on the same day, but I would be able to get the potential part at a local hardware store. I picked up the part, installed it and I've got water. I appreciate that Mike took the time to...
