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 maintenance do experts suggest for well pumps?

• <div><p>Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.</p></div>

Q: Can a bigger well pump increase water pressure?

• <div><p>Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a bad or failing well pump?

• <div><p>Common signs that your well pump is failing include fluctuating or consistently poor water pressure, sputtering water from faucets, or a complete loss of water. Other indicators are unusual noises coming from the pump, the pump running continuously, dirty or cloudy water, or a sudden, unexplained spike in your utility bills. While some issues, especially after a power outage, might be resolved by simply restarting the power or priming the pump, persistent problems suggest a more serious issue. If you notice any of these red flags, it is recommended to call a professional well pump service to inspect the system and determine whether it needs to be repaired or replaced.</p></div>
