Q: How often do I need to pump the septic tank?

• <div><p>How often you need to pump your tank depends on the size of your tank and how many people live in your home. The average recommended frequency is every three to five years. However, your tank may need more or less frequent pumpings than that. For example, a single person with a 1,000-gallon septic tank may only need to pump it every nine to 12 years, while a five-person family with the same sized tank may need to pump it every two to four years.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to attempt fixing a well pump on my own?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety and technical requirements. Hire professionals for accurate diagnosis and repair.</p></div>

Q: What does having a well mean?

• <div><p>Having a well means that a household&rsquo;s water supply, including water that comes through faucets, showerheads, and appliances, is supplied through a private source rather than from a city. The well pulls fresh water from an underground water supply, such as an aquifer, and the well pump pushes the water from the well to your household.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a well pump?

• <div><p>Beyond the type of well pump, there are a few other factors to consider when selecting a well pump. Keep in mind the depth of your well, your average water usage, and the PSI of your water-consuming appliances to determine the appropriate motor horsepower and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-well-pump-do-i-need.htm">size of your well pump</a>.</p></div>

Q: When should I turn off my well pump and pressure tank?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re going away on vacation or leaving your home for a long time, it&rsquo;s a good idea to switch off your well pump and pressure tank before you go. This way you can prevent any damage from unexpected leaks that may occur or unforeseen electrical issues while you&rsquo;re away. </p></div>

I was hoping the issue was just a pilot light. Turned out there was a crack as evidenced by water in the water pan. I was happily surprised they had a replacement on the truck. It was also still under warranty. However, somehow the final price was almost as much as when I installed the last...
