"Went well to this point of replacing parts. Then the United needed to have a system leak test and then needed freon put in pump. This was refused by Choice warranty. We were left with a partial repair and a heat pump not able to do it's job."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

The pressure in a well pressure tank should be set 2 to 3 PSI below the pump's cut-on pressure. The cut-on pressure is the lower number in the pressure setting (e.g., the '30' in 30/50 PSI) and is the point at which the pump starts. The cut-out pressure is the higher number, where the pump stops.

For example:

  • If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.

  • If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.

Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.

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.

Yes, you can oversize a well pressure tank without harming your well system, as there are no major risks involved. The primary advantage of a larger tank is an increased lifespan due to less frequent pump cycling. Fewer startups and longer, slower runtimes mean less wear and tear on the system and can help conserve energy. The main drawbacks are the higher upfront cost and the larger amount of space required for an oversized tank. While not necessarily a bad thing, it is often more efficient to select an appropriately sized tank to save money and space.

The cost to replace a well-pump motor will depend on the size, but this repair is often as costly as installing a new pump. Generally, a well-pump replacement will cost between $950 and $2,650, with an average of $1,800. Other factors like pump type and pipework will impact your final cost.

Schedule annual inspections, monitor water pressure, and address minor issues promptly to avoid major repairs.
