"Horrific! I called this company based on Angie List reviews as I'd just moved here and the water heater went out after just a couple days. They made an appointment to come at noon yesterday. They didn't show up, so I called after a while. They first said an appointment was never made, but then realized it was cancelled because my name didn't match the assessor's website (I just closed on the house within a week). They tried to say the soonest they could come back would be the next day. I told them I'd already taken half a day off to meet them and wouldn't make another day available, so then they were able to find availability. A guy came out and quoted me $1927 for a water heater. He was professional and was the only highlight of this company. I explained that seemed a bit much for a water heater, and asked if there were cheaper options through them. He said no, their water heaters have their name on them and that there are no cheaper options available. So I went to Home Depot and was able to find a water heater fitting my needs for around $500. They were going to have a lead sent for delivery, install and haul away. It happens they use this same company...who said they don't have a cheaper model available. When they called to set up the appointment, I explained they had already quoted me $1900+ which is why I went to Home Depot. She said then that would be the price, even though it was a model that was only $500. This company is a joke and I regret wasting any of my time on them. Unless you have tons of cash to throw away, I wouldn't recommend even calling them."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

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.

The precharged pressure tank should start at around 28 psi. The two pressure settings of note are the cut-in and cut-out pressure. The well pump starts when the tank reaches the minimum cut-in pressure. It turns off when the tank reaches the maximum cut-out pressure. The desired water pressure in the household is usually a few psi above the cut-in number. The difference between the cut-in and cut-out pressure settings should be 20 psi. Typical settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60.

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.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

Having a well means that a household’s water supply, including water that comes through faucets, showerheads, and appliances, is supplied through a private source rather than from a city. The well pulls fresh water from an underground water supply, such as an aquifer, and the well pump pushes the water from the well to your household.
