Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of a deep well pump is between 15 and 25 years, after which you’ll have to replace it. Several factors can affect the lifespan of a well pump, such as the quality of the unit. Proper maintenance and repair can also help extend your well pump’s lifespan as well as keep adequate water flow and pressure throughout your home.

Normally, when your well pump turns on or off, you’ll hear a small click. This isn’t anything to worry about, but it can be a problem if it’s clicking continuously. This can indicate that the well pump is short cycling—the pump continuously turns on and off.

This can wear out the motor and provide uneven water flow. If this happens, you may need to get it looked at by a well pump professional to see if you need to repair the switch or pump.

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

Another common question is, what pressure should your well tank be set at? The standard rule of thumb is to set your well tank’s pressure at 2 psi below the cut-on point of your pressure switch. So if your well is set up for a high cycle of 40/60 psi, your pressure should be set to 38 psi. If you use a low setting of 30/50 psi, you would set the pressure to 28 psi.

There are a few signs you can look out for to determine if your well pump needs to be repaired or replaced, including the following:

  • Your water pressure fluctuates.

  • You lose water entirely on occasion.

  • You notice the pump making unusual noises.

  • Water sputters out of your fixtures.

  • Your utility bills suddenly spike without explanation.

  • You notice sediment or cloudiness in your water.

  • You hear that the pump runs continuously.

If you notice any of these issues, call a professional well pump repair service to inspect it and determine whether you should repair or replace it.
