What is the life span of a well pump?

• <div><p>The average life span of a well pump is between 15 and 25 years, but a few factors can influence how long your well pump lasts. Excessive water demand and cycle frequency are the main causes of premature wear and tear.

Q: What should I do if my water pump fails?

• <div><p>If your water pump fails, the first step is to turn off the power to the pump to prevent any further damage. Check for common issues such as clogs, electrical problems, or mechanical failures. If you cannot identify the problem, contact a professional who specializes in pump repairs. Prompt action can help minimize damage and repair costs.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a well pump?

• <div><p>Schedule annual inspections, monitor water pressure, and address minor issues promptly to avoid major repairs.</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: How often should I check water pressure?

• <div><p>You should check water pressure twice a year to ensure there aren&rsquo;t any irregularities and that it isn&rsquo;t too high. It&rsquo;s also smart to check it any time you notice symptoms of high water pressure (like banging pipes, inconsistent water flow, and leaky fixtures). Similarly, if you live in an area that&rsquo;s prone to water pressure fluctuations due to municipal supply changes, elevation, or seasonal temperature shifts, check it more frequently. You can buy an affordable water pressure gauge and check the water pressure yourself. </p></div>
