What are the signs of a bad pressure switch on a well pump?

• <div><p>There are several signs that your well pump’s pressure switch isn’t working as it should. For instance, if your pump runs continuously, produces weak water pressure, or doesn’t turn on at all, you may have a bad switch. Also, if your water flow is erratic or unpredictable, it could indicate an issue with your pressure switch.</p></div>

What should I consider when I drill a well?

• <div><p>When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses <b>100 gallons</b> of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.</p><p>Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a bad pressure switch on a well pump?

• <div><p>There are several signs that your well pump&rsquo;s pressure switch isn&rsquo;t working as it should. For instance, if your pump runs continuously, produces weak water pressure, or doesn&rsquo;t turn on at all, you may have a bad switch. Also, if your water flow is erratic or unpredictable, it could indicate an issue with your pressure switch.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have 30/50 psi or 40/60 psi for a well pump?

• <div><p>For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house&mdash;if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). </p><p>The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.</p></div>

Q: What psi should my well tank be at?

• <div><p>When testing the pressure of your well tank, the psi should be two below the cut-on pressure. For example, if your tank is set to 40/60, then your pressure should be at 38 psi. </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>

Arron is easy to work with, did everything we asked, and probably saved us from a fire by chasing down a problem. Quick friendly and in time. I’m not blowing smoke, it’s an honest opinion.

"They were able to come out quickly to assess the issue, then schedule the work. The work was performed quickly, but they did have to come back and fix the drainage issue, as they had set the drain as one of the high spots in the basement, not the lowest. So, while it works, it looks odd and I’ve got a drainage tube in a weird spot."
