What are the signs that a well pump is going out?

• <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>

Can you shock a well yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can shock a well yourself, but it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. We recommend calling a pro, but if you decide to do it yourself, make sure to follow proper safety precautions. This means <b>wearing the correct safety gear, </b>such as rubber gloves, goggles, and boots. You should also <b>mix the chlorine solution in an open area</b> with plenty of ventilation. Also, make sure <b>not to drink or use the water for a few days afterward, </b>until you’ve flushed the system and retested the water.</p></div>

Q: Do services include motor replacements?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can replace worn-out motors to restore efficient airflow.</p></div>

Q: How often should I check water pressure?

• <div><p>You should check water pressure twice a year to ensure there aren&rsquo;t any irregularities and that it isn&rsquo;t too high. It&rsquo;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&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Does a pressure booster require regular maintenance?

• <div><p>A water pressure booster doesn't require special maintenance. Like any house system, inspections should be a regular part of your annual schedule. Check for leaks, faulty valves, pressure loss, and mineral build-up. Pressure loss could be a result of mineral build-up, and you can descale the system with a vinegar and water solution.</p></div>

We called them and they came to look at them. They said it was the pump and that the other one needed new plumbing. They cancelled an appointment to come back and didn't even call! They eventually came back and changed the pump. That did not fix the problem and it still did not work. We got the...
