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: How often do I need to test well water?

• <div><p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/private/wells/testing.html">(CDC) recommends testing</a> your well at least once a year to check for bacteria and contaminants. If you live in an area prone to flooding, runoff, or any other environmental concerns, it can be a good idea to check two to three times per year.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my well pump gets stuck?

• <div><p>If your well pump gets stuck in its casing, you may be able to free it loose by gently wiggling the line or by vibrations from tapping the line with a hammer. However, if your pump is stuck in a buildup of minerals around the casing, you&rsquo;ll probably have to call in a well pump contractor to get it out. They&rsquo;ll likely use a muriatic acid solution&mdash;a strong, corrosive acid&mdash;to break down the minerals and free the pump loose. </p><p>To avoid a stuck pump in the future, experts recommend a professional well cleaning once every 10 years. </p></div>
