Can you adjust well pump pressure yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-adjust-pressure-switch-on-well-pump.htm">how to adjust a well pump pressure switch</a> with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.</p></div>

How often should a well pump be serviced?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/well-inspection-checklist.htm">well water inspection</a> yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. </p><p>If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.</p></div>

Q: What happens if my well pump runs continuously?

• <div><p>If you notice that your well pump runs continuously, it&rsquo;s important to take action quickly to avoid further damage. A few common issues may be to blame for a continuously running well pump, such as mechanical damage, a faulty pressure control switch, low water level, prime loss, and leaking pipes and fixtures. </p></div>

Q: How long do pressure tanks last?

• <div><p>Pressure tanks can last anywhere from five to 15 years, but the life span of your tank depends on a few factors. Lower-quality tanks tend to wear out more quickly than high-end options, and the quality of water and the amount of sediment or rocks from your well can cause premature damage. Overworking an undersized pressure tank can also limit its life span.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>No, a bigger pressure tank has no effect on water pressure. To increase water pressure in your well water, gently adjust the tank&rsquo;s pressure settings to a higher psi (pounds per square inch). If you&rsquo;ve already done this, you can swap out your current pump for one with a higher flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). You can also call a pro to install a water pressure booster pump in your home plumbing system. If you experience fluctuations in water pressure, replace your current tank and pump with a constant pressure system.</p></div>

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...

I've known them for twenty years and I've been very satisfied with their service. I knew the father when he was doing it and now he retired and the son took over the business. They have both done a great job.
