How often should a well pump be serviced?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/well-inspection-checklist.htm">well water inspection</a> yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. </p><p>If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.</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: 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: Should I repair or replace my well pump?

• <div><p>If the well pump is more than 10 years old, it's worth contacting a well pump repair pro near you and weighing the cost of repairs against buying a new well pump. Pumps can last a long time with regular maintenance, but if your pump is nearing the 10-year mark and starts needing repairs frequently, it&rsquo;s time to replace it.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of a well pump?

• <div><p>Most submersible well pumps last eight to 15 years, depending on the quality, type, and how well they&rsquo;re maintained. Lower-quality submersible pumps that are poorly maintained will not last very long, but higher-quality pumps can last 15 to 25 years (or even longer). Jet pumps last eight to 10 years.</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.
