How deep should a well be for drinking water?

• <div><p>Wells should be at least <b>100 feet deep</b> 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. </p></div>

Can a well pump still run without electricity?

• <div><p>Well pumps need power to run, so they can’t function without electricity. If your power shuts off, there can sometimes be enough pressure in the water tank to allow for a lucky flush or a bit of tap water—but this won’t last long. It’s a good idea to have a backup generator or an alternative power source like solar if you’re worried about losing power.</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>

Q: What’s the difference between well water vs. city water?

• <div><p>Both can deliver clean water to your taps, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-city-water-and-well-water.htm">well water and city water</a> carry a few differences. City water is delivered and connected through a main water line, and it travels through a network of underground private and public pipes to service various buildings and structures once it&rsquo;s been treated.</p><p>Well water is derived from dug or drilled wells that source groundwater from the water table. City water is often more expensive than well water, but it eliminates the need for you to test and treat your own well water.</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>
