Q: When should I replace my well pump?

• <div><p>Consider replacement if the pump is over 10 years old or has recurring, costly issues.</p></div>

Q: Can I replace my well pump myself?

• <div><p>No. Well pump replacement is not recommended as a DIY project, particularly if you have a deep well and a submersible pump. Plumbing and electricity are best left to the pros, especially when something like your well pump includes both. Even when troubleshooting your pump, it pays to have a partner standing by for your assistance and safety.</p></div>

Q: How far from the bottom of the well should a submersible pump be?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does well water taste different from city water?

• <div><p>Well water can taste different depending on the underground water source it taps into. Some well water tastes slightly sweet, while some may have a slight odor or no taste at all. If you find that you don&rsquo;t like the taste of well water, a simple drinking water filter can remove most taste and smell.</p></div>

Very well. Did not need a new roof. Did small maintenance things for a nominal amount. That was several years ago so don't remember.
