"Jarrad and his crew did such an amazing job on our addition!!! We had no idea how to start the process or even where to start and he took care of everything from start to finish with us so we still felt involved. He had great ideas to help save money but also to help bring our vision to life!! He was very observant throughout the entire build and honest with any questions we had and his crew were great and easy to get along with. We highly highly recommend him and his team if you are in need of an addition or remodel, I think he even builds new homes also. Canâ t thank him enough."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Golden Eagle Drilling has been constructing quality water wells since 1958. Over the years we have developed techniques that make for the very best water well possible. We are able to drill in formations that other contractors stay away from. Our techniques also help us develop all the water that is available - which is very important, especially in areas of low producing wells. Our fleet of rigs and support trucks are maintained to the highest standards helping eliminate on the job breakdowns. Our drillers have been with Golden Eagle Drilling for many years and take great pride in the work they do. You will probably drill only one well for your home, therefore it is important to get the very best possible results. We will not cut corners. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. If you are building a new home, or need to replace a well which is no longer producing, or is not up to acceptable standards, please call us to discuss your needs and for a cost estimate. Water Well Drilling Golden Eagle Drilling is experienced in all phases of water well drilling and installation for Colorado's geography. We have two types of drill rigs: The first is a rotary rig which uses a special cone roller bit attached to the bottom of hollow drill pipe that is rotated cutting the formation. Compressed air is forced down the drill pipe lifting the cuttings out of the well. The other rig is a cable tool which uses a large solid bit attached to a cable that is raised and dropped rapidly crushing the formation. The cable tool rig is used mostly on large diameter and commercial wells. Obtaining Well Permits Golden Eagle Drilling has trained professions who will work with you during the application process, to help you obtain the proper well permit.

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

The average three to four-bedroom home uses a well pump of 8 to 12 GPM. It’s recommended to calculate your own GPM based on the number of water fixtures in your home so you can find the pump size that’s most accurate to your needs.

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

There are several signs that your well pump’s pressure switch isn’t working as it should. For instance, if your pump runs continuously, produces weak water pressure, or doesn’t turn on at all, you may have a bad switch. Also, if your water flow is erratic or unpredictable, it could indicate an issue with your pressure switch.

Repair costs range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the issue and pump type.

When testing the pressure of your well tank, the psi should be two below the cut-on pressure. For example, if your tank is set to 40/60, then your pressure should be at 38 psi.
