• <div><p>Here are some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-you-may-need-new-well-pump.htm">signs of a bad well pump</a> that a pro should look at: </p><ul><li><p>If your well pump isn’t pumping water, you could have a leak or malfunctioning pump on your hands. </p></li><li><p>If your water pump runs nonstop, there might be a leak or problem with the pressure tank, which can cause the pump to fail. </p></li><li><p>Low water pressure can happen because of your pressure tank, low-water levels, or a wrong-sized pump. </p></li><li><p>Dirt or sediment in your water can be a problem with a powerful pump, damaged pump filter, or the pump’s location.</p></li></ul><p></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>

Q: Can professionals upgrade my existing well pump system?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can upgrade your well pump system, enhancing its efficiency and reliability. They evaluate current systems to recommend suitable upgrades, ensuring proper installation that optimizes water access and meets household demands.</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>

The installation seemed to go well except that within a day and a half the system shut down. This happened at midnight and we called the after hours number 3 different times and no one ever called back or came to repair the service until the office opened in the morning. They apologized that...

The costs seemed out of line, for example for an A coil repair, heat pump, and copper it was $7500. We decided to get a second opinion. The second opinion was $3500 less, as was their inspection fee.
