Why is my sprinkler system not getting enough water pressure?

• <div><p>There are several common causes of low water pressure in your sprinkler system, including clogged sprinkler heads and issues with your backflow preventer valve. Start by inspecting and cleaning your sprinkler heads to ensure they’re in working order and there aren’t any blockages. Then, check your backflow preventer valve to ensure it’s open. If you spot damage to it, hire a sprinkler pro to repair or replace it.</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 well pressure tank?

• <div><p>Several warning signs can indicate current or future issues with your well pressure tank. If you notice inconsistent water pressure, water spitting from your faucets, clicking sounds, or electricity bill spikes without other obvious causes, it may be time to get your pressure tank and well system looked at by a professional.</p></div>

Q: How long can you run a well pump?

• <div><p>If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a well pressure tank and a well pump?

• <div><p>A well pressure tank is located between the well and the well pump, and it stores your water under pressure so that the well pump can eventually do its job. The well pump is activated whenever you turn a faucet on&mdash;it pulls the water from the tank into your home. Both are vital parts of a complete well water system. </p></div>

We were having problems with our well pump. We didn't want to call the company who'd installed it, because we'd been burning through pumps and felt we were being taken advantage of. We had already called another pump company but the owner, while seemingly very nice, was uncommunicative (he kept...

Our spring was inadequate in volume and in water quality. We called 3 companies in Humboldt county to help us. One took a water sample and never contacted us again. One designed a $13,000 filter system that did not deal with our volume or storage short falls--no explanation, just a single sheet...

We have to rely on our own well. The price wasn't bad, considering they had to drill six hundred feet down. He is punctual and honest, which is unusual for a well guy out here. He is efficient and he has good cleanup. He is extremely professional.

This happened around six months and the well has been working very good since then. I have been using this company for years now and have been very happy with them. They are very friendly with me and my wife and have been coming to us for such a long time now that they know exactly where to go...

Called them to come out and give us a bid on drilling a well. They came out the next day, and gave a bid of $3300, which was at least $6000 cheaper than either of the two other companies that bid. Once I let them know we were ready to start, they immediately applied for my permit and finished...

Mike called back within an hour and walked me through a check list. He would not be able to make a service call on the same day, but I would be able to get the potential part at a local hardware store. I picked up the part, installed it and I've got water. I appreciate that Mike took the time to...

"We were having a lot of air in our well system. Causing the water to spit and sputter when we turned on the tap inside. They came out quickly and fixed the problem. It’s been a couple weeks now and it’s been so nice not having to go manually purge the air from our tank! Kind and courteous and highly recommend them. We are having them come back to install a water treatment light into our system next."
