"I called several well companies when our booster pump started leaking. Ben,the Owner of Hydrocurrent was great; He presented more options for our particular situation than other companies and set our minds at ease, that what was occurring wasn't going to require a new pump. When Randy came the following day, he was awesome, quickly fixing the problem and answering our list of questions regarding our system; he has a wealth of knowledge, and in the event we have any well problems in the future, we will use none other than Hydrocurrent."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

You should check water pressure twice a year to ensure there aren’t any irregularities and that it isn’t too high. It’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’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.

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection 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. 

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.

There are other ways to increase well water pressure. You can often increase the pressure by adjusting the valve on your pressure tank. The pressure issue may be the result of build-up along the pipes or a clog in the system, so descaling and unclogging your system can help improve the overall pressure.

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 how to adjust a well pump pressure switch with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.

Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.
